From the wife:
I want to start by saing that my husband is a very smart man; however, he is just not very educated. He wasn't one for school and doesn't read other than if he needs some cheats for a video game. He is part Mexican and…

I'm sure you've gotten information from plenty of people since you posted. I'd like to know how it goes for you and your wife. I'm in a situation where I can talk about it for two sentences and then my wife says 'I…

What I've noticed is that when a believer has relatives or anyone that they care about that doesn't believe, their ideas of hell and what it takes to get into heaven change. I have realtives that now think there is no hell, or realtives…

I recently came out to my wife (I've posted this on another thread), and thanks in great part to The Nerd's suggestion on here, I brought up the idea of trying a UU church. We scoped out a few sites on the web and found one we both thought…

The only thing i can say there, (apart from good luck), is lead by example, ("he is such a nice guy, god will let him in to heaven even if he is an atheist"), and gently, slowly, patiently, at a snails pace, lead her reasoning to the same…

This reminds me of the last gf I had. She was very active in church. Went Sundays and Wednesdays with her mom. Went to church sponsored activities, worked in the church nursery. I started dating her without knowing any of this, but within a few…

HI.
That is exactly what happened to me!!
I immediately said that my vows were to her, and that yes I may have been a believe when I uttered them, but that shouldn't make them any less true, or make me any less likely to keep them. She said…
Christopher Borra replied to arm3d's discussion 'So I let my wife in on my non-belief'
Yeah, I hope you keep the good times going too.
IAmTheBlog replied to arm3d's discussion 'So I let my wife in on my non-belief'
I empathize with you, arm3d, and wish you all the best of luck. I am actually very close to coming out as an atheist to my wife, and I don't think she will like it. We've been married for a couple of years. Although she said she was…

Good luck bro.

If I were in your position and it was my wife, I'd tell her that "Perhaps one day god will reveal himself to me."
Now, don't think of this as a cop-out, it does several things. First it acknowledges and respects her belief.…
The Nerd replied to arm3d's discussion 'So I let my wife in on my non-belief'
Perhaps it would be good to meet with the administration first and see what they are like. The minister I knew was ex-Christian and still had a healthy respect for it, and still prayed. It's too bad that not every community can live up to their…
The Nerd replied to arm3d's discussion 'So I let my wife in on my non-belief'
Along those lines, you could reach a compromise by attending Unitarian Universalist church together. UU churches will show proper respect to her beliefs while allowing for yours. Many couples who don't share a religion attend for that reason.
The Nerd replied to arm3d's discussion 'So I let my wife in on my non-belief'
Haha, yes!
I went to a presentation by the author, and it was fun. He has some good insight into dealing with religion itself.

Sometimes by just being yourself the person will start to wonder why your life hasn't crumbled yet.
Ken Dodge replied to arm3d's discussion 'So I let my wife in on my non-belief'
Have you been attending church together?
