It's also likely that Friend A has a more skewed and narrow view of The Atonement than most regardless of whether they have a shady history. Yuck. |

I would say that it depends on the proximity of marriage in the relationship.
If a date is solely for the purpose of social interaction, the date need not even be a member of the church-- just somebody you'd get along with and have fun with. When narrowing the field, they ought to be fairly active, if not card-carrying. Once you are asking the terrible question "Should I marry this person or not," not only ought they to carry a recommend, but they should also have given sufficient demonstration that they have what it takes to make a marriage last for eternity. Incidentally, if you were to gloss over a few details, I would say that I've dated both Friend A and B. I had suspected things wouldn't work out with Friend A well before they didn't, and I am still dating Friend B. Not a coincidence. |
Just because someone has a TR does not mean that he/she is a good person who is living right, or is worthy to use it. It's not difficult to figure out what the correct answers are to the questions in the interview, and tell the bishop what he wants to hear. Meanwhile the person who let his TR expire may actually have more integrity than the other.
If temple attendance truly is an issue, try and discover how often the person attends on his own, instead of when his peers or there or on "ward temple night." |

If you can have a good person as a mate, that is preferrable to being unmarried. |
