i would like to thank everyone for your answers. i'm actually the believer in the relationship and he's the nonbeliever. we discuss it from time to time and he has not changed my views, I still believe in God. The thing is he ASKS me to prove to him that God exists to prove my argument, but never really has an opposing argument. I was just curious if this had affect any others. Thanks again guys!

the man I was last involved with was a great guy, thoughtful, romantic, nice & sweet, called me princess, cooked for me, massaged my feet and made me feel beautiful all the time...he was not a believer but in the beginning wanted to hear about Jesus and admired my faith.....two years later he was constantly starting arguments with me because of my faith.....he acted as if I was the ONLY Christian in the world and that I was the ONLY one who believes what the Bible says....yeah I knew about the unequally yoked thing....but we're not perfect and make mistakes right? Thank God we didn't bring children into it..

Anything's possible, but it takes 2 selfless, open minded people to make it work. Usually what happens is that the non-believer ends up dragging the other person down to a place that he/she doesn't want to be in. I'm not saying the unbeliever is "bad" but in reality it's easier to let yourself go for someone else than change that person. Something to think about ;)

Yep, sure can. I am the non-believer in the relationship. We're totally fine with each others' beliefs. It's really a non-issue, to tell the truth. I realize the bible says "Thou shalt not be unevenly yolked" but I think that's just silly, as does he. Love is love, no matter what flavor of god one believes in.

Yes! I was engaged to an atheist and I am a firm believer in God. We just never discussed religion, and it was never a problem. We decided that if we had children, we would explain both sides to them and let them choose their own path. You just have to be open minded. Unfortunetely, he passed away in july. I believe we would have had a very happy marriage though.

Yes. It worked for me for nearly a decade. My ex was an atheist and I believe in God. You just have to make sure to respect each other's beliefs, which you should do with other people anyway regardless of whether or not you're in a romantic relationship with them.

Of course. My mother believes in God (not the Christian one, but God nonetheless), and my father doesn't. But they love each other, and have been married for 29 years.
Everyone seems to be saying that this is an "unequally yoked" relationship, and that raising children is impossible in this scenario, but my parents have always treated each other equally and with respect. As for the children issue, my parents simply let me choose on my own what to believe.

hahahaha you're humorous. possibly you may want to placed your sister in contact with me, and that i will tell her about my devoutly Christian ex-spouse. the fellow who had different affairs before I were given rid of her. i'd also tell her about the string of Christian boyfriends that beat the crap out of her (btw no I by no skill raised my hand to her). i'd also tell your sister about the emotional abuse the ex-spouse inflicts on those round her. And by technique of how i'm nonetheless no longer going anticipate that each and every Christin refrains from occurring a significant crime spree in basic terms with the aid of e book they fake to study once per week, in basic terms because of your small minded rant. Y'see i'm no longer judgmental as you. and also you would opt for to ask your self how the heck is an atheist going to "worship devil" at the same time as he would not even trust in it.

The Bible advises against it.
2Co 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what fellowship does light have with darkness?
2Co 6:15 And what agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever?
2Co 6:16 And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God, even as God said, "I will" dwell in them and "walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."( Lev. 26:12; Ezek. 37:27)
2Co 6:17 Because of this, "come out from among them" "and be separated," says the Lord, "and do not touch the unclean thing," and I will receive you. (Isa. 52:11)

I am devoutly Wiccan. My husband is an agnostic. We've been happily married for almost 13 years.
Then again, as a Wiccan I don't feel compelled to convert him to my religion... so that might have something to do with it.
