I'm sure I'll get some disagreement on this, but even in the Reform community the desireability of conversion is acknowledged. The issue is the sincerity of the conversion, to convert to please one's spouse isn't acceptable. Apologies if someone brougt the topic up. Like many good Freepers I often post first, read the commentary later.

I'm not Jewish and will only ask a question about that issue. Were the people of Hashem (as written in the Torah and commentaries) told to do anything in particular regarding conversion of spouses from the nations? If so, has the pertinent order been changed since then?
You don't have to answer me, because its none of my business for now. But you might want to get an answer for yourselves and for each other.
