You should look for someone who believes like you do. If you are marring an atheist you will always have trouble especially when it comes to children if you have any. I would look for another christian. Your marriage will have trouble from the very beginning if you are of different religions. I am a christian, but my husband is not saved and doesn't go to church. He doesn't know if he believes in God or not. But he never says I can't go. If he were a atheist I would have a problem with that. Neither one of us were christian when we were married.

i dont believe that it would work at all. When you get married you are agreeing to marry that person that you love and accept. So even if that person says we can have different religions as long as you stay on your side ima stay on mine. A christian needs their spouses support to the fullest. Two becomes 1 when you get married and there is no possible way for 2 to become 1 if you draw a line at your religion and beliefs. Time will build up and people will talk, and soon the relationship will fall. Who are you gona take to the couples ministries meetings? I mean, if you not cheating on them.

It can work both would have to love one another very much and understand that they chose there way of life before they met so you can't change the other person it might be imposable . So what I am saying is if the christian wants to go to church on Sunday and the atheist wants to stay at home and watch TV or whatever then neither person should get mad at all. lol

I think it could work but I don't know as far as being a atheist. I am sorry but I could not seeing building a life with someone who doesn't accept god. I mean, they could be the perfect guy and all, but I need the lord in my life and I couldn't go through life not having God in my life. So, I would definitely not try to remain with the person or further a relationship with possibility of a marriage. As far as being catholic and I being a baptist, that's alright. Or even someone who worships Hinduism or something of that nature, I wouldn't like it, but I could respect them as long as they didn't put my belief down either.

I think it would work. What would you consider a Christian anyway? I know so many married couples that claim the title but never show it in anyway (worship, prayer, baptism, 10 commandments). BUT if the Chrisitan is full out hardcore.. they'd have to accept the atheism. The atheist would have to return the acceptance. If that can be done that it will work!

Absolutly and it may not be a problem at first but after a bit of time it will leave a big dent in your relationship and unless one you change your religion the gap will forever be there between the two people.

people who get married ususally love each other ,, not their religion,, do your own thing and don't try to shove your beliefs down the others throat and love will last forever

not as long as they respect each others views and don't try to impose their beliefs on each other
