That describes my situation exactly . I became a Christian 12 years after my husband and I married. It was hard at first because my husband went through phases of first being angry about it , then making fun of me for loving God, then resigning himself to it. During this time I prayed daily for him to find and begin a relationship with God himself. After 11 years of daily prayer for this my husband did come to know the Lord and was baptized 2 years ago. No matter how long it takes, faithful prayer is answered. " Ask as if you believe and Ye shall receive"

I was raised Methodist, but hadn't been to church in a looong time. My husband was raised Pentecostal, but was back-slidden. We actually started going to church again for a couple months before we got married, and have continued to go (Pentecostal church). Things are going really well. Of course, no marriage is perfect, and there will always be bumps in the road, but with God at the center of a marriage, you can get through anything!! God is bigger than any problem we can have here on Earth!! And with God, all things are possible!!! Lord Bless...

My ex-husband was Catholic, but not active, and I was Protestant. We agreed that we would not allow it to become a problem in our marriage, but in not dealing with our differences, we both stopped being active in our religions for years. I felt something was missing in my life, but put off the need to get back in the church because I knew, even though he wouldn't have minded if I went occasionally, he wanted to be free to do things together, and I knew I couldn't be a part-time Christian. Eventually we had serious problems in the marriage, and the only way I could deal with my feelings was to return to my roots in the church. I've never regretted going back. I finally felt what had been missing in my life all those years, and I could never go back. We tried to make the marriage work, and he even joined my church with me for awhile, but he still resented the time I devoted to it, and eventually stopped going at all. In the end, He forced me to choose between him and the church, and though I felt guilty for giving up on the marriage, I could not compromise my Faith. He let me down in a lot of ways, but God never did.

My husband and I were both non practicing christians when we met and married. When we met we were both addicted to drugs and a terrible life style. Luckily we were both delivered from that life. My husband still is non practicing but hes slowly but surley coming back. He still believs strongly in his faith but is torn between God and the world. I think its been a harder road for us together than it would have been alone.

God tells us to avoid being "yoked" to a non-believer. Knowing that should lead yu to chose a believer as your marriage partner in life.
If you do marry a non-believer, you should not divorce this person but work to have them see your example and let the Holy Spirit show them the path from their.

i was raised assembly of G-d but had gotten away from it..that doesn't mean it was gone..when i married the 2ND time i married a guy who told me he was Methodist but we started going to synagogue and he changed to that being Jewish..I feel it has made us stronger and helped out alot..we both was baptized and we both did it to work on ourselves, be it Jewish or christian it is always better to have G-d involved in your life. It is very important
May you be blessed and may your marriage work out
and be wonderful..

my husband and i were both christian when we got married. however, before going steady, im a christian and he was not.
it's difficult at first. a whirlwind relationship and both of us were not giving in to each other's belief. I maintained that we should be one in all things..and we cannot do that if we're of different side.
it would be better if both are of the same faith.
