The husband is to be the spiritual head of the household. If he is attending church, you should go with him. God holds him responsible for the spiritual training of his house.

This can be a very serious situation in any marriage, but what you do is sit down and discuss it, I honestly do not see why that you both can go to your own churches most of the time and go visit your spouse's church sometimes, that way you both can be there for each other and also still keep your own beliefs, my household is sort of like that I am catholic and my husband is baptize, when we got married we had a minister do the ceromony and we wrote our own vows as well, I got to his church some Sundays and he does the same for me, that way no one has to give up but, still be a part of each others lives in the right way.
I hope that you two will come to the right decsion for you all's marriage as we did......................God Bless......................

I am a christian so I am a little biased but here is my answer as it pertains. It is a christian belief that the man is responsible to carry his wife's soul into heaven, that is I believe why there is the symbolism of carrying the wife over the threshold on the day of the wedding. I am not 100 percent sure but that is what I think. If anyone disagrees, everyone is entitled to there own opinion and when talking religion there is bound to be disagreements.

I am in the same situation---so I just do my religious duties separately from my wife. You have to follow your heart and faith on this one. If your spouse doesn't understand then why did he marry you in the first place knowing you weren't a christian. But I would also try to study his religion and then go with what you feel, and he should do the same.

If you both respect the religion of each other, you can either both go to your own church each week, or if you insist on going together, alternate which one you go to.

you go to what ever church you want and are familar with........where ever you feel comfortable and let him go to his. You don't have to change your religion just because your husband is from another, you might want to visit his chuch and he visit yours once-in-a-while and then you can both decide what works best for you. That's what I did.

There is a passage in the bible, I think that it would be in ROMANS; however, I am not sure, that says something to the effect, "if only one of the spouses is christian then there is enough faith to save both. He should be able to find comfort with that.

"another religion"? Why don't you say which one? I suspect this isn't a legitimate question, but the answer is, go to your own, unless you intend to convert to Christianity.

I'm christian and my husband's Mormon (which isn't too different), we go to both. I was very open minded and prayed about every step I took. I suggest you do the same.

Follow what YOU believe in. If it's the other faith, attend some functions of his church & have him attend some at yours.
There's no reason it can't work.
