Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. I am struggling in my marriage due to my religious beliefs
If you weren’t fully you can you blame him? Now that you are fully you, is he and his beliefs something you want?
I understand my husband was raised catholic and I well ugh wasn’t raised at all. We married at the courthouse 10 yes ago. I love Wiccan and pagan beliefs. At first he just laughed at me. But now he doesn’t believe in God. He is depressed and has a lot of loss and grief in his childhood. And I well I had abuse and trauma. So now we just feel free to be whatever we want to be
Unfortunately hun, you likely won’t… I have been given so much hell by a lot of my family and lost numerous friends over it. I wish I could have a good answer but honestly I would suggest either secular, as on non church based, couples counseling or you guys should end things. Different beliefs within a marriage can’t work for everyone but if you feel comfortable messaging me personally I’m pagan and willing to talk to you about things
You divorce him and follow your heart. If he truly loved you he would accept you wholly no matter what you believe in. There is someone out there who will love you as you are. Blessed be
Tell him Christianity stole their holidays from paganism. people get crazy judgemental about religion so it doesn’t surprise me that you didn’t feel like you could be open about that but it’s amazing that you’re doing you now and if he can’t handle it he doesn’t deserve you!
Do you mean spirituality?
Not his fault, you are not who you were when he fell in love with you. Religion is a very tricky subject
Blew be my dear. First let him be. Second, NO ONE needs to know your business because people always going to point at you, you don’t need that. Now, is your husband have an issue, is time to have a one on one mature conversation. Let the Universe guide and remove every negative energy around you. You need to ask this question on this Wiccan group page.
Keep the religion out of your matrimony
Your marriage isn’t going to work out - if he is that much into his faith, and you’re not and push the issue. It’s probably a deal breaker for him.
We’re humans & are evolving each day. It’s perfectly normal to be curious of other religions or none at all. If he can’t handle that, it’s definitely a sign. I follow no religion, I don’t believe in any. Unfortunately you can’t change people’s minds if they aren’t open minded. Best of luck
What’s Wicca and pagan
Okay so 1 stop drinking…that helps…
It is THAT bad, it’s literally demonic.
When you disguise or lie about your true beliefs he should be able walk out on you with NO REGRETS !! Lies get you no where.
Just be you and give him time to take it all in. If he flats out refuses to except you, then its time to move on. You finally found your self. Don’t shove it away again to make someone else happy.
Look up some Christian witch creators on tiktok and other social media platforms. There are lots of them who are still Jesus loving Christian’s but also incorporate crystals and kitchen witchery and other things into their lives. Maybe there would be a balance you didn’t realize could exist. reach out to me if you want to talk more. I do have a little bit of insight into this.
As you have been a Christian, you should know that to a Christian that is the devil’s work. I can’t blame him for being upset about this at all. You married him as a Christian… now you’re not who he thought you were. Smh.
There of course is nothing wrong with your choice of “belief” or faith but your husband does have a strong case for bait and switch, if it is more than he can accept then you have a difficult decision coming your way
Good luck. As a practitioner, I have found I usually can not make someone of christian beliefs understand even though they are suppose to be “all loving”
Sounds like you were married under false pretenses then. I’m not saying you’re wrong to explore other ideas but at the same time your marriage may be a sacrifice to that calling. He believed you shared christian faith with him and that is huge. He isn’t wrong either. I would just decide which is more important to you and pursue that.
Well paganism is older Christianity is derived from it
For me this is perfect grounds for divorce. I as a Christian woman cannot be married to a satanic witch. He must divorce you and let you follow your belief.
Honestly l dont see a way for you to continue your marriage if you choose to go the opposite direction of his religion. You are not wrong to express yourself and be who you are, but you both entered the marriage under the same religious and it is fair to assume he expected you to remain there. I know a bit of both religions and they clash too much for it not to ruin your marriage in my opinion.
You more than welcome to inbox me, 34 years I was Christian, raised in a very religious home.
I started getting callings, seeing triple numbers, signs everywhere which led me to google everything!
2 and a half years later I am now proud to say I am Pagan. Still learning everyday but I’m happy and content.
There are certain ways to deal with those that don’t understand the journey please chat to me on inbox it’s so much to explain
Love and light to you xx
Ope here come all the pitch forks and torches
Give your heart to God and there won’t be a problem
Let him be I gotta say he’s correct and depending on his faith/denomination this could mean an invalid marriage. He may need to time to evaluate and decide. Yes you must be true to yourself but so must he. I couldn’t remain in such a marriage it is unequally yoked
Also as a person who was raised in a christian belief family the Christians are what ran me out of that religion. A lot of christians are so hateful amd justify it with Jesus
You can still believe in God and have pagan practices. Don’t let religious folks define how you resonate with source energy. It’s all within you.
You dont have to shove your beliefs to the side for him but at the same time i think his feelings are somewhat valid. IMO If religion is important to him he probably wants someone that is just like him in that way. Its a preference and i dont think hes wrong for that. Yes you could have atleast talked to him about your religious curiosities and new found beliefs. But since you didnt you should try to have that conversation with him now. Ask him what does he think about paganism. Ask him if you practicing wicca is where he would draw the line or is there some way of compromising and coexisting. Ask him if he’d be willing to learn about your perception of it. Yall gotta have an open conversation where both of you guys are willing to hear each other out without pushing back.
Unfortunately pagans will receive a ton of judgement from religious that claim to be all accepting and that God will decide in the end. I honestly don’t believe you will get through to him at least not without therapy. And not a priest. It would need to be a licensed therapist that would help you both connect, not point fingers. If your religious beliefs are important to you and he can’t accept that as part of you despite knowing that you are a loving and caring partner, is that really the relationship you think is right to be in? I highly suggest trying a therapist to help you two see past the differences. Good luck
Wow some of these comments are rough & judging by profiles they are those “sweet Christians” that they portray to be… where is your sympathy for one another? She literally Is facing a life style change & it can happen there’s no rule in life on growing and following one path that you’ve been on since you were young, we don’t truly know who we are till we grow up and even then no matter 20…30…50 and so on we are still learning & discovering something new every day about ourselves, be kind when you speak on anything.
All I can say is, have a good long talk to him about everything, if you guys come to mutual ground that’s great if you don’t then just go from there, life is gonna take you through things you don’t wanna go through, don’t be scared to embrace it… cause the outcome is gonna be better than the struggle, always. I wish you well and hope the best for you, sorry you are going through this.
I’m southern Baptist, I’m not gonna sit here and down you for your choice & change in beliefs, I’m not gonna shove my beliefs down your throat and make it seem like that’s the only choice you have, everyone is different & that’s okay, doesn’t mean we can’t get along or love one another.
He has found his true religion and you have found yours
You wouldn’t want him trying to sway you back to his so why try to do it to him?
Probably best to part ways as amicably as possible
That’s a tough one, especially if you were both married under the Christian faith. You cannot expect him to change for you and vise versa.
This page is so ducking toxic. So much for being an informed individual. Such “loving” Christians you have here admin. These comments have no business being nasty.
To the individual: you can try to make them understand. If he loves you and sees you for who you are it can work. You aren’t evil or the devil. There is beauty in all different kinds of religions. It may take time for him to support it or understand. I taught my boyfriend slowly as I learned and it helped our relationship so much. Meditations, crystals, tarot became a hobby for us and it allowed our relationship with each other and the world flourish. Don’t let this nasty hags make you feel like Christianity is the only way, most of them don’t live the way they preach anyway
Need to be honest with him. Are you against christianity or the ceremonial part of church or organized religion? Personally I agree with christian values but do not like organized religions. They are mans interpretation of God. Again my opinion. Yes I grew up going to church, Sunday school, church choir and camps. Try praying with your husband and ask him to do some learning With you… dont rule out anything. Explore spirituality together if hes willing. Learn about other religions including wicca and christianity… talk about them and together figure it out. You may conclude the answer is divorce if you cant come to an agreement of some kind. But if you are both willing explore faith, spirituality, and love together before coming to a conclusion.
You can still go to church and practice paganism. Christianity is pretty much based off a lot of pagan practices. Just follow your heart, love!
My mom was raised catholic and became Christian my step dad was raised Christian and became atheist and it didn’t interfere with their marriage what so ever!!
I was raised Pagan and Catholic by my Mexican grandma. The two things aren’t mutually exclusive of each other. Maybe try joining a pagan group local to you and see if there is someone similar to me that can help him understand. You can also always PM me if you need information
Being a Christian…there is only 1 God. All others go against the Bible. Jesus is the only human to ever die and be resurrected. For you to pretty much turn a 180,go against the Bible, and worship false gods…Yeah. He sees it as you damning yourself to hell when he believed you would both live decent lives together and ascend to Heaven together when pass. You are choosing to turn to evil/witchcraft. No fixing that.
Honestly, it says in the Bible all these gods worshipped by ancient cultures,pagan and otherwise,were actually high ranking angels sent to guard certain parts of the world during early times. Then they had to go bc started breeding with humans,causing a bad mix and even giants. Also says in the Bible that anyone who casts spells will be eternally damned. So…not only are you saying want to worship an angel instead of God himself, but also want to do witchcraft. Doesnt matter if casting good or bad spells . Not supposed to do it at all. I would be mad to if my husband decided to turn away from our religion. Would be a total slap in the face and not sure could work with him doing something i believed would damn him to Hell. It will definitely ruin your marriage if continue. Maybe research the Bible more and look into different churches until find one you like.
Cults like wicca and pagan like to tempt women with female empowerment lines…like there is a moon goddess that grants women powers and allows them to do magic and all that bs. The moon is a rock…plain and simple. Only way can be granted any special abilities are for them to be inherited or gain them through a near death experience. You can’t just pick up a book and pray to a rock for powers or to some nature goddess. Only ones that can grant powers are God or the Devil. Any that don’t come from God,you sacrifice your soul for. With them finding Noah’s Ark in a mountain few years back,birth place of Jesus few months back, and just recently soldiers’ remains in the Red Sea…proving existence of Moses…i wouldn’t risk turning my back on the proven Book for promises of fairy juice and pixie dust. Temptation is of the Devil most times.
From a Wiccan, do not let anyone bully you into what you want to believe and feel comfortable with believing.
His religion is his. If he wants to leave over it, you can’t really fault him. We choose what we do with our immortal souls by what we do in mortal form.
My first question is are there children involved? If not my suggestion is go your separate ways now. I am technically Catholic and my husband is Christian. Similar but different. It works out but if one of us were to become pagan it would be a dealbreaker. We had a non-denominational wedding on a horse farm by a bonfire. Just us. Simple and not complicated. If you are truly pagan and he is absolutely not walk away. You’re not going to change his mind and the resentment is going to grow. Trust me.
And your husband should be understanding of that. If he isn’t maybe it’s time you have a long sit down talk. My husband is a strong Christian and I’m an atheist. Crazy right? But I was just straight up. And told him I don’t care if you believe but I don’t and I won’t throw my atheism on you if you don’t throw yours on me.
For all you saying that the marriage was under false presences. How many people out there as they age , grow , learn, try new things , stop being scared, don’t often change in some ways and there choices and beliefs in many things can alter . This poor woman has spent most of her life so far , being to scared to be herself and have a mind of her own. And how fucked is this religion shit , when people are scared to have a different opinion, felt forced to attend do they are not outcast., where a bunch of sheep follow one set of rules and outcast anyone who may not agree , causing divisions, and spreading of hate . Wow walk away now and don’t look back, you get married for love , for unconditional, until the end , all parts of you love . Not this bullcrap
Hi ima Christian witch. You can have both Christ and organism together. Check out Lena the Jesus witch on tiktok.
Have you actually accepted Jesus Christ as your savior? That’s the only thing that actually makes you a “Christian”. Just going to church does not provide you with salvation. It sounds to me like you have given the devil a foothold in your life and he is fast trying to draw you away from Jesus. Please do not go down the pagan/Wicca road! Please ask God to open your eyes and ask Jesus to come into your heart and life as your personal Lord and Savior.
It is literally witch craft practices by definition. You and your husband should not be together anymore. I feel like you should have disclosed that information with him from the start. Thats really messed up and wrong of you not to, honestly. Everyone should be honest about everything from the start. I can see where he is coming from. You basically tricked him into marrying you by lying about your faith bc you knew he wouldnt marry if he knew what you are actually in to. So messed up.
Paganism and wicca, ect. will send you straight to hell, it is formed from unholy spirits and our God id a holy God, he will not invite unholy evil spirits into his kingdom of eternal life, please be wise.
Honestly you both will have to come to an understanding to respect each other’s beliefs as you would anyone else. I am Christian and my husband is atheist and has been becoming interested and leaning towards paganism. We both respect each other’s beliefs. We were married in a church. He said even though he may not believe In the ways I do, he still meant our vows and said them with meaning no matter the religion it may have been surrounded by. People change. Their ideas and beliefs change. That is life. People should not be condemned for that.
Your poor husband! I would be upset as well. I hope he leaves you.
He just needs to understand that this is where you belong. Just add you understand where he needs to be
This is sort of what I compare your situation and struggle to: If you married a man and 10 years later he came to you and said, “I’m so sorry. I’m gay. I’ve always had this instinctual feeling but made the decision to not act on it. I can’t do that anymore. I need to be true to myself.” How would you feel about that? Does being gay make someone a bad person? Absolutely not. Does it harvest feelings of betrayal, mistrust and deceit after a 10 yr marriage? You bet. THIS is what he’s struggling with. Feelings like that. Feelings aren’t wrong or right - they just are.
Does he love you for you or not? That is the question! Sometimes we grow apart from one another and that isn’t always a bad thing! Some people are put in your life for lessons and not necessarily for the rest of your life and that is okay too.
I never understood how Christians can look down on pagans… All religion is based off of paganism. I hope he realizes that he is being ridiculous and love you for you.
And on another note Hinduism is the oldest and purest religion in the world.
Religion ruins a lot! People need to be more accepting and understanding of one another! Especially if you call yourself a Christian! It isn’t your place to judge.
Leave. For the sake of his soul.
Well he needs a Christian wife so i guess its good he go and find one and live happily ever after.
I’m sorry your husband is intolerant of your beliefs and now even bullying you about it. I would start considering his attitude and behavior towards you over the actual difference of belief. Remember that his kind burned your kind once. I’m so sorry he’s not supportive of you.
Well I think you need to give him time to adjust to these life changes. And he needs to give you a little breathing room so you can be yourself. He needs to chill a bit and have some patience. I don’t attend church anymore. My husband does ocasionally and used to regularly. We just let the other person breathe.
If he doesn’t want that in his life then respect him and let him go because there will always be a battle in your marriage and he is Christian so go out and find yourself someone who believes the same as you
It IS actually bad. They might have good morals like the rest of the religions, but evil is still evil, period. Don’t shun what you believe in just because church didn’t make you feel welcome. Most churches don’t! I just don’t think you should go to the extremes yet…
Get ready for a divorce. It won’t go over well and he is going to make your life hell. Try to get him to go to couples therapy so he can get an understanding. But in the meantime get as stable as you can so you can file for joint custody of your children. Depending on where you live your beliefs could be strongly frowned upon by the courts.
I have witches in grandpatents so that ability is inherited. I do not practice it because it is against my Christianity. I am clarsensative, claraudient, and somewhat clairvoyant. My kids and grandkids have inherited some of this but do not actively practice. None is book learned. The Bible is specific about paying tribute to other gods, yes they do exist. You can only truely be one or the other. If you are a practicing WICCA you cannot be practicing the Bible. Your husband is telling you like it is you are unequally yoked. If WICCA is not in your lineage you can become one but you wont be as strong as one with blood line lineage.
Wow! There are some awful comment on here. I’m sorry people can be so mean.
Honestly if trying to include him in what you are learning doesn’t work just leave. It won’t get any better. There’s no reason you should stay with anyone just because. Being unhappy is only going to lead to resentment and potential abuse. Try to talk to him first and see where he stands and if he absolutely won’t accept it there’s plenty of people who will.
as a Wiccan I will tell you there are light witches and dark witches not all bad. And we do not believe in the devil so we are not demonic. And Christians beliefs notook most of are beliefs and holidays and turned them around.
I would not want my husband to become Wiccan either sorry. I am Christian and that clashes with me. Especially if his religion is important to him, that’s a deal breaker. You should have been honest from the beginning and not pretended you were Christian.
Its ok to be you. You are his wife and you are yourself. I believe in you. You CAN make yourself happy… You are at least TRYING to after all which is very BRAVE. I look up to people like you whether I agree or not.
I don’t let religion affect my marriage. I believe in more than one god. Does this make me a bad person.
Considering Christianity stole literally all of paganism he should probably just shut up and two if the only reason that he’s married to you is because you are a “devout Christian” I don’t know about you but I’d be contacting an attorney
Can someone explain what that belief is… I’ve googled and it was no help.
Although I don’t quite understand what the belief is… regardless he married you for you… if you lost or gained weight would he have the same view… he should be able to understand your views as his wife and as you do his as your husband. As long as you both are carrying the family as one it shouldn’t matter what each other believed as long as it didn’t harm your family. However I wouldn’t be surprised if he mentioned divorce soon so prepare yourself as much as possible and find a good lawyer who would be able to fight for your children and your beliefs.
Well, technically the marriage was under false pretenses. You pretended to be something of great importance and value to him, knowing you truly did not believe in it.
It is extremely unfair of you to expect him to suddenly change his whole life, mentality, upbringing, everything. He didn’t “sign up for this.” You should have been honest with him. He probably feels like he doesn’t even know who you are now, and in the same swipe, you offended his religion which is clearly of high importance to him and you know that, because you were raised that way too. I don’t intend to offend anyone, but it’s common knowledge that Christians are intolerant of other religions, as most are, but Pagans/Heathens/Wiccans seem to get it the worst, even over atheists.
If we believe in nothing they think we’ll eventually come around or just “don’t know”. If we tell them we believe in the old Gods, well then in their mind, we’ve told them their God doesn’t exist.
It is his right to feel incompatible with someone of a different religion than his. You lied to him. Whatever happens is the consequences of your dishonesty. I don’t think it’s fair nor right, but it’s the truth. You both could live in harmony and be accepting, but it doesn’t seem like that’s who he is or what he wants.
I dated a Christian a long time ago (Baptist too) and I am pagan… at the time I didn’t know my own feelings yet and was very undecided. Honestly, it can be hard to make a relationship work, especially if extended family feel strongly about it too. I am now with someone from a non religious family who is happy to simply let me be spiritual however I see fit and it’s the best feeling. Go with your gut. Only you know how much they will tolerate. But don’t give up on being true to yourself and your own path.
My husband was the same way. My mom is Wiccan and I decided to look into it. I’ve never been a religious person before due to the hypocrisy that surrounds church’s and Christian beliefs. He was not and still is not to happy about it. But I always pull the Bible back it. Quoting things about love thy neighbor etc. After a while he let it go. I also told him I’d curse with impotency if kept bother me about it.
Some of you don’t understand but a Christian places God before all others including spouse. She was raised as one so she knew that. I’m not saying she shouldn’t be true to herself only allow him the same.
… I mean he’s Christian, not even catholic. So he’s like the fraud… in my church. Lol.
But really, I’m raised catholic, my family is catholic, my husband is atheist or agnostic. And it’s never once affected our marriage/relationship. There are times if I wanna go to church…it’s just that, I go to church. We’ve been doing this dance since 2008…
But, I don’t understand why you can’t be both. There is nothing wrong with recognizing god/gods. Most religions generalize around the same belief system, aka, the Ten Commandments. Which summarized, don’t lie, cheat, steal, murder, or be a shitty person/neighbor. Treat others how you wanna be treated. And try to find happiness in life while doing your best to be a good person. I’m also pretty sure every religion just about teaches that jealousy is wrong too.
Get to learning about your religion of choice, and look for similarities. Look for things that show you’re not so different.
I will say, in 2022, I’m surprised people are still so stuck in the religious background aspect.
Everything you do is rooted in witch craft. Christianity stole/“rebranded” a LOT of pagan ideas. So baby girl you were half way there already!
You were married under false pretenses period. It’s two/ three different religions and i don’t blame him. At the end of the day he has every respect and reason to leave you and it’s your own fault .
Are you really asking this during Jesus’ big week???
Wicca is the minipulation of energy that’s all it is . It’s nothing bad there’s nothing like dark magic and white magic it comes from the same source what matters is the intention . Christianity is formed off paganism. Christmas is a pagan holiday . So technically they are practicing your beliefs .
“Paganism and Wicca isn’t actually THAT bad” is what you said, so you acknowledge that it is a bit bad… Eating a little bit dog crap isn’t that bad either. But probably shouldn’t/wouldn’t do that.
I believe education breeds intelligence. Perhaps share your knowledge with them if they are willing to listen respect and understand.
Quantum physics makes your beliefs evident.
A group where we all tell you to leave them
no for real though people grow as they age and if he’s not willing to love you through your journey of discovering yourself then dump him. just my opinion.
There are no gods before the creator and that Wiccan and stuff is evil no.matter how you look at it. Maybe you just haven’t found the right church for you to enjoy
I went to several until I found my church now. But goi ng to church doesn’t make you religious. Studying your Bible and prayer and you and your husband a Bible study makes a church
Thou shalt not have false Gods before me.
You did marry him and basically lied to him. I am siding with him on this. How sad for him honestly. I would be very upset.
Some of y’all comments didn’t pass the vibe check
It’s just being closer to spiritual things. Best to go to a therapist and work it out… Christians and all religions should be taught kindness and acceptance and you are married hopefully you can work it out.
If you notice the people who are saying they side with him have so much anger and hate in their tone is absolutely appalling. Educate. Teach. Show. And learn together. You can work through this and if you put forth the effort to show and teach him how it’s not a bad religion. If he’s seriously still mad about it, it’s probably time to start seeking counseling and possible divorce.
How we feel doesn’t matter. It’s how he feels. He has a choice that only he can make. He either comes to terms with it or he leaves. I believe you should follow which ever spiritual path you need to.
The worship and seeking of supernatural powers other than God have been around since the beginning. Satan has used witchcraft to prevent people from finding holy spirituality in God alone. He uses witchcraft such as mediums, horoscopes, and games to entice people away from God and toward a power that gives self enlightenment. The Bible speaks often on the consequences of following false idols and falsehood. Read the Scripture verses below to better understand the importance of seeking God alone.
Leviticus 19:31 (KJV) Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God
Leviticus 20:6 (KJV) And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
You need to rebuke these thoughts of following something so evil. In the name of Jesus.
You need to be born again. For your soul to be saved.
We are in the end times. Satan is going around seeking whom he may devour. He is seeking and drawing people away from the truth of Gods Word. You are falling into that deep abyss. You will not make heaven your home. You will not live for eternity with the Lord. You will be thrown into darkness and then the lake of fire.
Find a church a pastor that is anointed and filled with the Holy Spirit. Talk to them. Jesus can set you free.
I plead with you. Do not fall for the devils lie about feeling good about paganism, wicca. Witches. Its a lie!!!
Its not good!!!
Please start reading your bible. Let Gods word speak to you and show you the truth. Seek Gods face and talk to Him and ask Him. He will show you what evil youre getting into.
Please do not listen to the voices that are speaking to you to follow this evil spirit of witches, wicca, pagans.
I have experienced evil in similar practices as pagans. Its evil. Its all demonic. Repent of your sins. Repent of these thoughts to turn to paganism.
Whether you believe me or anyone telling you to stay away from paganism, at least we warned you. You will stand before God and you will give an account of your life. God will ask you about this moment. Why didnt you listen to the true believers in Christ. What will you say. By then it will be too late for your soul. You will not enter heaven. You will live for eternity but burning up in hells fire. You will feel the pain of being burned alive…for eternity.
You don’t need a church building or a priest or a minister like in those organized and dead churches. All you need is Jesus. JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!!
Jesus is your only hope. Your only answer. Jesus loves you. He loves you. He didnt die on the cross for nothing. That was for all mankind. For you. For me. For your husband. His blood was shed for you and me. He loves you and he wishes none to perish. He wants you to spend eternity with Him. Please… do not go this way of evil…paganism.
I will be praying for you. In Jesus name.
Omg some of these comments dont pass the vibe check. I think a lot of people dont understand that Christianity is supposed to be about accepting and loving others regardless of differences. Yall need to go back to church is youve forgotten this. Next point. So most Christian holidays and traditions are rooted in Paganism anyways so honestly, it’s not a far stretch from one to the other. But I understand feeling the need to be true to yourself. You have a right to that. But so does your husband. Religious differences are a deal breaker for a lot of people. I do, however, think that it’s a bit messed up for you to accept and respect him and his beliefs, yet he doesn’t want to do the same for you. Counseling may be needed but be prepared, it may be an issue he can’t get over. I wouldn’t be surprised honestly. A lot of Christians tend to judge others who believe differently and believe their view is the only way, as proven with a lot of these comments.
There’s no compromising or meeting in the middle on this one, two completely different beliefs. I just don’t see anything working, you both will never fully accept one another
Wow; this is a hard one. I mean I wouldn’t agree you married under false pretenses if at that time those were your beliefs. Have you completely cast away Christian beliefs?? Because you can lean towards towards one and yet still believe in other ones as well. What I am describing is, Omnism is the recognition and respect of all religions and their gods or lack thereof. Those who hold this belief are called omnists, sometimes written as omniest. Personally, I was taught the beauty in every religion. I was taught it was just important to have faith in something bigger than oneself. Some people may describe themselves as spiritual and embrace Buddhism etc and yet still mostly identify as Catholic or Christian. I think therapy or really talking things out in a whole so that you come to an understanding. Could he perhaps be assuming things? Religion is so very personal that I think it deserves a huge heart to heart. I mean people evolve over time… some people aren’t religious and then suddenly join a church and become Christians or Baptist. A lot of times people do that together but wow to think it would break a marriage is sad but not unheard of. My personal belief is what makes a marriage strong is evolving together and being there for each other through life changes. Some people grow together and unfortunately some grow apart
