Now in case you don't know it, the writer of the Twilight books is LDS, a Mormon. And also in case you don't know it, the Salt Lake Tribune is the liberal paper of Salt Lake City, distancing itself as much as possible from the Deseret News, the paper owned by the LDS church.
They ran the following story comparing Bella and the values in Twilight to typical Mormon values. I think they stretched it, to poke at the values of LDS folk possibly, but anyway, you might find it interesting:

This made me lol:
A unique LDS teaching is that marriages are “sealed” for eternity; spouses are referred to as eternal companions. Bella describes her relationship with Edward as “forever.”
What teenager doesn't think their relationship is going to be forever? Geez. Hell, even I think of my marriage to my husband as forever, because he's the only one I can ever see myself with..not for any religious reason. :P
