Girls are born with two sets of labia. The larger outer labia are called the labia majora pronounced: ley-bee-uh muh-jorh-uh. During puberty, hair grows on the labia majora. Labia minora are usually pink and they do not grow hair. Labia change and continue to grow during the teenage years, so the appearance is usually different for a girl who is 11 or 12 versus the appearance when she is 16 or 17, for example. Adult women also often look different from teens, and that is also normal. Labia can further change in appearance after someone has been pregnant and had a baby. Both the labia majora and the labia minora can vary in size, color, shape and the way they look compared to other females. The labia minora inner labia come in all shapes, sizes and colors. This is also quite normal for all body parts that people have two of, such as breasts, ears, hands, and feet.

One side is often longer than the other, consistent with the asymmetry of most body parts. The exterior of the clitoris can be pea-sized or as big as a thumb.

As for deciding to marry someone who is not mormon, here is how I made the decision. I do not text or call him frequently-- I'll send him the occasional message, but generally I let him initiate contact and dictate the pace. I've only seen him 3 times. He is married to his job right now. Just an idea, I have no idea what would actually work for her.
