The Mormon faith tradition requires considerable adherence to their religious practices. Their theology is based on a set of assumptions that might on the surface appear in harmony with Christian theology but the truth is they are in opposition in almost every way imaginable. A married couple who both are not Mormon would be difficult, at best, because the wife depends on the husband for their salvation. I have a relative who is in such a mixed marriage and it is an 800 pound gorilla in the room. Their kids are all strictly Mormon and did not marry outside the church's confines. Without strict obedience to Mormon orthodoxy the whole church would fall apart relatively quickly.
