Nothing. He will be accountable before God. God knows of your righteous desires. We are only responsible for our own salvation. You can continue your search with conversion to God. Pray to know the truth. Your husband is responsible for the choices he makes. God has a plan, if your husband wants to be part of it with you he'll change his mind. Pray for him.

Doesn't sound like he's very orthodox to me. Go through the process of converting if you want to and then tell your husband when to meet you at the church.

If he was an orthodox then he should marry you in an orthodox church from the beginning. Are you sure for his religion? I believe he is an atheist deep inside and only called orthodox for keeping tradition

decrease back interior the day whilst my Greek Orthodox mom married my Roman Catholic father interior the Roman church, she in simple terms started attending that church. I, a Roman Catholic married an Atheist interior the Roman Catholic church. We had to marry in front of the alter, no longer on the alter. today, no remember who you marry interior the Roman Catholic church, you would be able to desire to decide for marital training with the priest. Your Sweetie does not would desire to transform. yet, call your parrish priest and set up your training quickly.

Divorce him and find a guy who wants a big church wedding.
Either that, or consider the possibility that you should be the one to compromise. Did he agree to an eventual church wedding before you got married?

In many states the "church wedding" is sort of an extension of the "legal" wedding system.
Maybe your husband would be interested if you changed the concept/request to "I feel/have a desire to add the Church's blessing, prayers and good wishes to our marriage"
.....just a thought

Marriage is about compromise. Thus it is very important to know what both of you are willing to compromise on before your get married.
Sounds like that didn't happen, so you are sunk. His "no" wins over your "Yes" or even your "maybe" in this situation.
Imagine if he found away to get you to go against your principles, you would end up resenting him and eventually leaving him emotionally and then physically. Is that what you desire?

I would question why your husband doesn't want to. Without knowing his reasoning I can't properly answer your question.
