If not what would you do if their views changed after marriage?

I did. I'm an atheist married to a christian. We celebrated our 10th anniversary in January, and he sent me flowers today because I have a cold. He's a sweetie and I love him even if he is deluded about christianity. lol

People are caught up in the wrong state of mind. It does not make a difference if you're catholic, episcopalian, Methodist etc. The only concern that we should have is that the person we marry loves God. God says not to be unequally yoked. He did not say do not marry someone because they believe a different doctrines. However since the vast majority of people
drink milk instead of eating meat; then I can see why they get caught up in the rudiments of this world, touch not, taste not.
God is about freedom, liberty and love. How can you love someone and hold them "doctrine" captive at the same time?

Good question. My wife is Buddhist and I am an athiest and we have no problems. Buddhists are not aggressively seeking to save everyone else. They believe in personal responsibility just like I do.
Before I married I dated a few christian girls and found out real fast that christianity will not accept any differing views. So I stopped wasting my time with them.

I don't think I could. I tried dating a Jewish man for awhile, and it just didn't work (I'm a Christian). God is such a huge part of my life that I just don't think I could marry someone who isn't as enthusiastic about God as I am.
If I married someone and their views changed after we married, I would stay married (till death do us part right) I would try really hard to get him to be a beleiver again though

I did.Iam a Christian. He was an atheist up until 7 years ago. We have been together 22 1/2 years. He is now a Christian. Something of his own choosing.

No. There is no way i could marry a born again christian, or any religious person. I had a secular wedding and my wife share my beliefs. We have been married for 3 years now and the only way we would divorce is if one of us FOUND GOD... I hope it never happens

No I could not. I could not marry or sleep with a Republican either. After marriage, I would be stuck with them and depending on how much I loved them and how far out they were, it might be a problem, or not. I guess we would just not talk about religion.

When we married, my wife was a Lutheran, I was a non-believer ( former Catholic ). We're starting our fifty-fourth year. We have a story-book marriage, couldn't be better.
Did either of convert ??? Yep, now we're both non-believers.

I don't think I could. For me, there would be conflict with my belief and my spouse's belief. There would be strife.
If she were to change her views or convert with full belief and sincere faith, then I could marry.

I plan on marrying my catholic boyfriend and we've talked about if we have kids- we're going to let them experience different religions and choose on their own
