That is something you should have figured out before you got married.

Depends more on religion than spirituality. If a religion confines one of you but not the other, this can be very stressful. Serious topics of discussion would be each person's feelings about: abortion, assisted suicide, medical beliefs, (some people believe god will heal you instead of a doctor) church, (to go or not to go) how children should be raised, holidays, etc.
It really comes down to how you both feel about life, more than what you believe happens after you die. Do you have the same general morals? If so then you're probably okay.

That depends on the type of people you are. Basically, will you respect each others beliefs or will you try to force your own on your partners'.
It also depends on how radically different the beliefs are. But with understanding and respect, it is possible to not have it effect your relationship.
I would also like to point out that since you are married already, it's a bit late to wonder about this. You should have discussed this with each other and the priest (or whatever) that performed the marriage ceremony.
In any case, good luck.

Absolutely. But.... it doesn't "have" to affect it to the point of bringing distance.
The question does arise, however, that you knew this before marriage. What do you and him discuss about it prior to the wedding? That should stay in place.
Remember, BEFORE your beliefs, comes your marriage. Marriage is a base essentiality to most religions, and in most cases, say Christianity and Judiasm, it actually enhances many aspects of the marriage.
Whatever you do, do NOT use your religions as a means of hurting the other, or throwing it in their face. If your religious beliefs are true and rock solid, your life will do most of the witnessing, and your conduct will win him over. Likewise, if his is true to the core, than you may see how it has helped him and allow it to be a positive influence on you as well.
Make it work!

It depends on how open you guys are about spiritual beliefs. If you think there is more than one right answer, and are open minded then you probably won't have problems.
If you are closed minded and think that your way is the only way and everyone else is wrong, then it potentially be a problem area for you guys. If this one is the case, then maybe boundaries about what is discussed and when would be a good idea.

Marriages stay to tell the tale on many stages. As a guy i'm so disillusioned interior the religious point of maximum of I are available in touch with. They anticipate the spouse to DO the religion interior the domicile and take the youngsters to church and so on. What you have is what God planned: that we could have a real relationship with Him. You in no way could settle for something much less. Your marriage can stay to tell the tale. you are able to consistently be the greater religious, yet you are able to introduce him to the sweetheart of your soul. you are able to pray and prod him to sturdy works. you are able to basically love him; and lead him thusly into many stuff.

There's a good chance it will if you both feel strongly about your own. But if you both can respect each others beliefs than it shouldn't be a problem. If you plan to have children it poses an issue as how they would be raised. Was this discussed before you got married?

Me and my fiancee don't have the same beliefs either. However it hasn't affected us yet, it has actually helped me grow as a person as I have wanted to learn more about his beliefs (Nation of Gods & Earths). I now can say that I agree with some of their teachings, but not all. He has also taken a step to learn more about Christianity (Baptist) and has come to like some of the things we do. It can work if you really want it to.

Yes it will.
Decisions are made on or are based on beliefs, and those that are considered spiritually will of course be different if the basic beliefs are different.
Different does not necessarily mean it has to be devisive though.

Spiritual growth is the cornerstone of a marriage, this will eventually doom your marriage. These are things that should have been worked out prior to a wedding.

Uh...yeah. Did you get married within a week or something? Because that is a HUGE issue. Atleast to me it is.... I mean you can make it work but there will always be that barrier like when your kids are growing up and stuff.
