In some ways, I agree with Sith. I guess it is my hope that two people who truly love each other could work things out even if they had different religious beleifs, but it seems difficult when one is atheist or agnostic and the other is religious.
I would say that if you are going to continue a relationship like this, you had better know exactly what you beleive, and exactly what he beleives. Attend his church and all that just to know what's going on. If you don't understand his religion, you might be very sorry you married him. Even if he's not hugely religious, his family might be and if you are not ready to take that on, quickly back away. A religious family + a semi religious spouce can = a nightmare because he won't be standing up for you! Kids can throw another wrench into the clockwork. Make sure you think things all the way through.
He also seems to be heading in the religious direction. His church will welcome him and may prod him to find someone religious like him. Even if they don't, you two will always have one thing that you totally disagree on. That's already a mark against you.
I'm all for relationships working out, but I know a much older couple who is atheist/christian, and though they seem to work things out, he seems to be swaying to the christian side of things the longer time goes on. It's disheartening to watch because he's one of the smartest people I know.
I seriously hope I didn't offend you, but it is a very serious decision. Best of luck to you. |
