Then he doesn't really want you, if he doesn't want all of you. Divorce him. This time don't look back.

I am not sure if this is a serious question....but if it is:
You should try and resolve something with him. if you are a real Christian, the Bible tells you not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers in the first place. You should have considered that before you married him. In any case, the Bible also says that divorce is wrong. It is stupid to get a divorce over something as benign as religion. I am an atheist, and my husband is a Christian. I find what he believes ridiculous, but to each his own. We do not really talk about religion at all, he goes to church without me....we get along.
Good luck!

Pray for him and love him in his love language (read the book, 5 Love Languages). That's the tough part. Even tougher, tell him you aren't about to stop reading the Bible and going to church. He can choose not to participate with you, and you won't hound him either way (that's key here), but you will not stop no mater what he says. Again, don't hound him or you'll push him so far away that he'll never find faith. And, really, if this is the only reason for divorce, I'd advise you to keep praying. God wouldn't tell you to divorce your mate over this.

What you haven't said though is how do you feel about him? Do you love him? Have you told him that you enjoying going to church or reading the bible? Is religion the only problem in your marraige? Are you trying to force it on him?
There are tons of questions that would need to be answered to even give you close to an educated thought.
Remember you are the only one who can make you happy. Take responsibility for that part of your life.

Give him a chance and pray for him.
Keep going to church and reading the bible. It is a great witness to him although he may not show it to you.
Love is the key. Show him lots of love even if he doesnt agree with you.

sounds like you and your husband are not equally yoked.
Dont stop reading your bible or going to church, that is not what God wants you to do. You stand tall for God and let no person come in between. Pray for him.
God may be using you as a witness to your husband.

Well, if going to church and reading the Bible is what you like to do, then he needs to accept that if he truly does want you. He needs to accept all of who you are, and not try to change you. If he can't see that then it's probably best you move on.

Try marriage couseling. There's no harm to him if you go to church. And certainly it is causing you stress and maybe guilt you shouldn't have to feel because going to church is a good thing. But, just because your married he really has no business saying what you can and can't do. It's not like your going out and partying. What's the harm? There is none.

Read the Bible. Who cares if he likes it or not?

Has her forbidden you? Or does he just complain?
If he allows you to attend service and read the bible then you shouldn't leave. Don't peach to him either. Just pray for him.
My husband came to Christ after prayer, not me preaching.
God bless and pray about this.
