When we got married, I was still going to church, but had some doubts. Over the course of the next 5-6 years, after a lot of soul searching I realized that religion just didn't make sense to me and that I no longer believed in God. I shared with my wife about every step of my journey, even though I could see that it upset her that I no longer believe.
Now we've been married 11 years and it still bothers her a great deal. She still cries about it. It causes a lot of friction between us. But I can't pretend to believe something I don't, and even if I could I respect her too much to lie about it.
I'm not interested in re-finding my faith, so don't suggest that, but what can we do to accept that we don't have the same spiritual beliefs anymore without it driving a wedge between us?
