A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who committs adultry is not required to do anything. Mormons are expected to confess serious sins such as adultry to their Bishop when they feel they are ready. However, nobody can pressure you to confess if they don't know you have sinned, and some Mormons live with secrets like this for years or even their lifetime.

Bishops can provide counseling and support in regards to the transgression. Depending on the situation and on the Bishop, an adulterer may be subject to church discipline. The Bishop will probably counsel the adulturer to tell their spouse beacuse it is the right thing to do, and will offer marriage counseling to the couple. Most Mormons would probably tell their spouse simply because it is the right thing to do and because they respect their spouse and the committment they have made, although there is nothing that says they are required to confess.

Does a Mormon have to convert their spouse to Mormonism after so many years?

No. There is no requirement in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) to convert your spouse. The church does encourage those who marry outside the faith to continue to participate in church services, and many choose to invite their spouses, but this is not required.Another answer:As the spouse of a non-member (who has even offered to convert if I asked), the answer is Most Definitely No. Only the Spirit can convert. One undertakes solemn covenants upon baptism -- a requirement for membership in the Church. Non-believers should not convert until and unless they become believers.

A spouse cheated if they tell there spouse its ok to cheat once and it doesn't mean there is anything wrong in the marriage?

Wee what do you think? There is something gravely wrong in that marriage. Anytime one or the other commits adultery against the other, that surely indicates a big problem. The couple needs to seek professional counseling, and soon. Admitting to cheating does not absolve the wrong nor make it right.
