I feel that questioning your own beliefs from time to time is healthy for your spiritual growth just so long as it is aided by prayer. I often read anti-mormon propaganda just to get an idea of what their problems with our faith is. When I study the thoughts of others and do my own research afterwards then I can usually better argue my points when I personally encounter these people later.

It's also often easier to witness to them if you can counter what they are saying in an intelligent manner. This is hard to accomplish if you don't understand where the negativity is coming from in the first place.
I whole-heartedly agree. In fact, that's the very reason I am learning about the LDS church altogether. Well, I don't actually know anyone (in person) that is an LDS member (only you guys), so... maybe not the witnessing part so much. But it's important to know how your faith stands against others, and you really need to know what you believe in in order to do that.

I say let your husband ask his questions. As a Christian, if my faith and beliefs in what I know of as being Truth (with a capital T) can't stand up against scrutiny, then it simply isn't the Truth (with a capital T).
