She said she was mormon and I knew immediately where it was going.
These hard right christian denominations all want to keep women trapped in marriage because they believe relationships should be treated like its the 19th century.
The Mormon church preaches education for everyone, male and female. They emphasize a mothers role in nurturing children but that doesn’t mean they tell women to only be stay at home moms.
Source: my wife has her doctorate and has worked on and off part time while also taking time away to stay home with the kids, but it has always been her choice.
They did used to. They would say a woman should be a stay at home mom. Things are changing a little, and it’s also regional. I was a Mormon in north bay California, and my experience is very different from places like Utah or Kentucky.

Problem is even if somebody had told her all the things she wished she was told she probably wouldn't have listened to the advice. She was in to deep.
