This could be universally applied to other situations
outside of marriage. Dave and I were
discussing the exceptions being not equally yoked in a marriage, or if one were
to receive inspiration – as long as the other is capable of receiving answers, the
other receives confirmation of the answer the first received. There might be more exceptions, but we agreed
it’s too easy to apply the exception when a person wants to, and prefer to side
on the model of decision making established by the brethren.
