I read some where in the bible (I don't remember where) that God will accept people into heaven even if they don't believe in him, if they are married to a person that does. It said something about the two becoming one in marriage, even in spirit. Why would God allow the nonbeliever/atheist into heaven?

I read that in the Bible, too. It's only if the non-believer respects the faith of their believing spouse. But, as we know from all the posts from atheists bashing Christianity, it's probably pretty rare for that to be the case.
Most atheists are to proud to show any respect for anything other than themselves.
I asked a similar question, and most of the atheists responded that they would reject Heaven even if it were offered to them by God. Yet, they will still blame God for the existence of Hell. They are impossible to please.

Poor God he just won't believe you can't save everybody. We all live in our own reality today. No one today knows everything about the experiential reality of another. Our knowledge of each other is really quite limited. Therefore we do not even now really live in the same reality as each of us experiences reality differently. This will always be so. Each person will have their own reality in "heaven". It is our belief that reality is a unitary thing that limits our enjoyment of reality. Heaven would not be heaven if we had to live together. Also the only way you would know if someone was actually saved or just a gift to you in heaven would be the actual Saint would aggravate you from time to time and not be just as you expect. After a thousand years it won't make any difference. The person will be the real person. Then perhaps we will be able to live together.

I'm not really sure about all this because I wasn't there and there are a varity of different bibles. Depends on which one you read and how you read them. Everyone has a different opinion on quotes from the bible. But if that's true, Maybe God just wants us to be more understanding and loving of his world and try to work together as a team to bond and make the world a better place.

you should have read a few more pages
many are they who are in heaven minus thier ''loved '' one
thankfully the memory of those in hell is erased from every day conciousness [if the rememberance causes pain]
god is loving but we come in one at a time
if your meant to be there you get there
many are those in hell [just to be with thier loved one[s]
if a pair you can only rise [as a pair] as high as you have deserved [some are in hells so depraved that those they really love they chase away]
in heaven and hell there are no secret thoughts
one good is so affected by the evil thoughts of those they thought to love they are simply easier to suppress thier concious awarness of thier lower [fallen] spouse

1 Corinthians 7th chapter verse 14 -- "for the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now they are holy".
