He loves sports and is very athletic. I hate sports and am over weight.
He loves to sing and dance and is very outgoing. Im shy and dont like to bring any attention to myself.
He goes to church and prays. I believe in God but think thats enough.
He is very smart and works very hard. I cant seem to find a job and dont feel smart enough to go back to school to get back on my feet.
I love my husband very much, but i am not anything like him. I have been in a rut ever since I lost my job and am not feeling very good about myself. Im wondering what he sees in me and why he is with me when i am obviously not the same woman he married.
Can a marriage survive when a couple has nothing in common?

Not sure how long you have been married, but we've been going 6 years, and the only thing we have in common is that we like to fight...or, really, debate....but it usually turns into an argument. Other than that, we really don't have anything in common. It works out good for us...I love him, and he loves me...because of our differences...we compliment each other...because we are so different, there's not much we can't do between the 2 of us. If I can't do something (or know something, whatever) chances are, he can/does, and vice versa...but it will only work that way if you want it too. Everybody goes through "ruts." My husband and I both have...but we stuck it out, and were there for each other....in a "tough love" sort of way. You have to look for the positives. Like I said...it will work if you both want it to.

I agree with mjboog2. My husband and I also have nothing in common except fighting. But we work through the differences and come together as a family cause we found one thing we have in common, our son. We have only been married a short time and need more time to really get to know each other and compromise. If you are feeling insecure, i'd look into counseling for yourself. He married you cause he loved you for who you are. I'm sure he doesn't care that you don't have much in common. Have you tried talking to him about all this. Maybe he can reassure you why you are together.

Wrong priorities.
The raising and support of a family comes first and then mutual attraction.
Now a hard working man that stays physically fit with a women that is lazy and overweight, that's a GOOD re son to feel insecure. But you need to do something about that be for you get traded up.

You sound like you are insecure and it's not about having nothing in common. Your partner must love you so pick yourself and get out of the negative space.
