To athiests and Christians, would you ever the marry other?

Question

I know there would be arguments in the marriage but I just wanted to see how open people are; this question is not to mean any harm

Answer 1

People can get along if they want to.
If they so will it, it can be so.
Arguing is such a waste of energy, you know.
If an Atheist believes the above sentence, and the Christian believes the above sentence, then it can be worked out.
There are many spouses who don't believe in the same way even within the same religion, and they support one another.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Answer 2

Sure. If I find an open-minded Christian who isn't trying to convert me all the time, on top of all the other things I like in a woman, I would definitely marry her. In other words, her confession wouldn't be a reason for me not to marry her. That's not among the first things I want to know about a woman I meet.

Answer 3

Christians aren't supposed to marry atheists because the Bible says that they aren't supposed to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. It makes a lot of sense anyway because that would be a difficult marriage. In fact, if a two unbelievers marry and then later one of them becomes a Christian, God wants them to stay together; but if the UNBELIEVER wants to leave, St. Paul says to let that person leave, the believer is not in bondage, but if the unbeliever is willing to stay married to the believer, that's a good thing. It will still be a difficult marriage if the unbeliever stays with the Christian, but not impossible. With God all things are possible.

Answer 4

That would either be a really huge mistake or just a long haul. I wouldn't recommend it. I've known (actually still do) people who have been unequally yoked and it is not a nice or desirable life. Everything may be cool at the beginning, but when it comes down to our beliefs, I just can't think of having to battle with someone constantly about something that is so personal.

Answer 5

Ofcourse, I did, we are all humans on a planet called Earth, we have put ourselves in all these little groups, Christians, Muslims, Athiests, etc etc etc , thats what the problem is with the world, if we just all put oursleves into one group and abolished religion the world would be a better place.

Answer 6

It takes an awful lot of communication, trust and love to reach the "let's get married" point. Well, it does in a healthy, mature relationship.

I don't think that I would be able to form that type of bond with an atheist. And, I don't think an atheist would be able to understand my value system.

So, no, (as a Christian) I would not ever marry an atheist.

Answer 7

No. Why, you ask? Well, it wouldn't work ...

Check out the website below.

In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul tells us “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” (NIV)

Paul urges believers not to form binding relationships with nonbelievers, because this might weaken their Christian commitment or standards. It would be a mismatch. This is where the term “unequally yoked” came from in regards to marriage.

Answer 8

My mom and dad were very happy. Mom was an athiest and Dad was a Roman Catholic.

Answer 9

It would be hard to imagine being like-minded enough with a Christian person for me to *want* to marry them.

How could I completely love someone whose faith I found indefensible and incomprehensible, and vice-versa?

Some can manage it, and hats off to them, but I could not.
