I have been thinking a lot about whether I will be able to be with my family after this life if we don’t all “endure to the end” as faithful Mormons. I wonder if the 2nd article of faith applies: We believe that [we] will be punished for [our] own sins, not for Adam’s transgression. We do suffer consequences of Adam’s transgression, but we’re not going to be eternally punished for it. However, according to a traditional way of thinking we could be kept out of the CK by the transgressions of a spouse (unless we accept a replacement spouse in the hereafter, I guess?). Any separation from loved ones could be viewed as a punishment, right? I guess if you believe in hell at all then there are surely people you love who are not going to be there, and if not being with them is a punishment, you’re going to be punished for their transgressions.
