I married a christian who now says he's a wiccan...help?

Question

in 1999 i married a guy who says he's a christian, now he says he's a wiccan. while both are religions...what is your intake?

from the replies that i got, some are useful. I was married to a man whom I thought was religious. He went to church, he (trtied but failed) to read and understand the bible. I was crushed when he told me of his religion. Yet I still love him.

Answer 1

Igive only the Word that is written on this wise ""And unto the married I command , yet not I but the Lord , Let not the wife depart from her husband; But and if she depart , ler her remain unmarried , or be reconciled to her husband;and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I and not the Lord ; if any brother has a wife that believeth not , and she be pleased to dwell with him , let him not put her away.
And a woman which hath an husband that believeth not , and if he be pleased to dwell with her , let her not leave him,
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 are they holy.
But if the unbelieving depart , let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
For what knowest thou , O wife, whether thou shalt save thy Husband ? or how knowest thou , O man , whether thou shalt save thy wife ?

I think that is as Wise as anything anyone else could ever say on this subject !!

Answer 2

You didn't specify if he had been wiccan all along, or if he changed his path during the marriage. In the first case, did you say or indicate anything to make him think you would leave him if he wasn't christian? Maybe he loved you so much he thought he could give up his religion for you, then found he couldn't. In any case you should give him a chance to explain his views to you and you should study what he is doing with an open mind
Good Luck

Answer 3

Oh my! So, when you married him, he proclaimed Christianity? One thing I know for sure, you cannot change another persons mind and convictions when it comes to thier choice of "religion." I am not sure why he would change "religions" being married to a Christian woman? This makes little sense to me as surely, he had to have plenty of contact with others in the wiccan sect. Now, if he hid the truth, and married anyway, I would say you would need to have a good long talk about trust and honesty.

Either way, know this...since he changed, that basically places you both apart, spiritually. This is never good, in a relationship! It can cause much heartache! In as much, know that I am praying for you and for the direction God would have you to go. I pray that your husband comes to know God, in a true relationship with His creator. That your strength, in God, will stay strong and your eyes firmly planted upon your Creator!

God bless you,

Well, that's up to you? What do you think of as a Christian? I know plenty of Christians who regularly engage in some form of divination, or astrology, or Hoodoo, or root work and don't even bat an eye as to whether or not it runs contrary to their espoused religion. This is a question which only you and God almighty can answer. The King James Version of the Christian bible does acknowledge such "pagan" religions, and speaks negatively against them. Representations also exist in the old testament, also spoken against. Whether or not you do or don't believe any of that is up to you, after all if you are indeed the Christian you profess to be you already know what to do. Ask your Father, asking us does you absolutely no good in this case.

Answer 5

My ex husband did that quite a bit. In fact, every few months or so he went from being wiccan to christian and back again (kind of annoying actually). Why does it matter if he's converted to another faith? He has to follow the truth as he perceives it. Have you ever asked him his reasons for conversion? They may surprise you. The most important thing is not to judge him. For one thing, not your place to do so. For another, how would you feel if someone you loved criticized you for following the path that's right for you?

Answer 6

I think you should be having some long, respectful, honest conversations, at least so you can understand where he's coming from and he can understand your feelings. If you still love each other and he's not changing for the worse, well, many marriages flourish with partners having changed religions. Still, I know it's a surprise for you. Blessings.

Answer 7

It does not matter as long as you are ok with him being a wiccan. If you are not ok with it then the both of you will have a problem in the near future.

Answer 8

Eh, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Then again, i am wiccan.

so what?

my take is that if the person is still the same person, still loves you, still cherishes you, then there is nothing wrong with thier conversion.

talk with them, learn about the practise of Wicca, you'll be surprised about how similar some practises are.

it usually takes two different opposites to make a whole, and if the opposites can work together and ...ahem... attract, then everything's s'good.

Answer 9

He has the right to change and choose other religions. I am sorry if him becoming a Wiccan has upset you but I believe you should just try to respect his decision weather you support it or not.

Answer 10

The question to you is are you willing to let your husband follow is heart on his path or would you leave him over religious beliefs?

I think you should be supportive of your husbands decision, and talk openly about your feelings to him, but you need to be ready to hear his side of things too.

Good luck
