Well, not really a spouse, but very similar scenarios. More of an unrelated loved one. I favorite loved one. Does that count?

Hi, I am married to a Catholic who is not pro-life or anti-gay or any of the other conservative things associated with Catholicism, although he does have a vague feelgood belief in God.

Hello, My wife is a life-long Catholic. She is not conservative. For the most part she see faith as very personal and therefore should be left up to each person. This has caused her some difficulties in her role as a youth minister. The higher ups are not always happy with her more liberal attitude. Even though we disagree on some obvious things are values are pretty much the same.

I am truly shocked there are so few people in this group.

My wife and I were once both agnostic. A few years ago she found a church and became very active in it. I have become a full fledged atheist. It has been difficult for both of us especially when it comes to raising our two children. We decided to let them choose as they go.

I am not a christian anymore, and never will be again. My husband still is. we are very quiet on the subject since my deconversion because when I being it up it never ends well. He still claims to believe because thats what he was taught as a child. I became a christian and never believed everything in the bible. We are in a weird place in our marriage. I feel fourtunate to find a group I can talk to.

My wife is a liberal Christian, and I've been an atheist since I was in college. Since she's not a fundamentalist, and she doesn't like to talk about religion anyway, it's not a problem for us. Her family is a problem, but only in that she's constantly apologizing for their fundamentalism. She's the daughter of a Southern Baptist minister, and she had already left the denomination before I met her. All of my in-laws are KJV Southern Baptists. She's actually discussed converting to Catholicism just to piss them off.

A while back someone at my wife's church asked my then 6 year old daughter why I didn't ever come to service. She told them and they promptly told her that I was going to hell. It destroyed her and She went crying to her mom. From all accounts, my wife tore the person a new one in front of all. She constantly defends me there. And I love her for it. I wonder if terrifying a little girl made them feel more "Christian".

My husband is trying to figure out how it is possible to become a non believer. We had a talk the other day and I went really well. I told him that we could respect each other and treat each other right no matter what we believe or don't believe.I am not forcing my views on him and I told him not to force his god on me, besides I know enough about his god and I don't want any part in fairy tales. He should think about finding out about reality.

Shane, I'm sorry to hear that happened to your daughter. She got a crash course in Christian bigotry. I go to church with my wife, when she goes. People just assume I'm a Christian unless I set them straight. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. If I just want to cause problems in Sunday School, I just let them think I'm an unusually well-read Christian.
