Can You Marry A Spouse That Doesn't Share The Same Faith With You? by Martinez19(m): 9:25pm On Mar 30, 2018
I am an atheist and personally I can't. I can't permit and tolerate my children being taught religious and other mystical beliefs. My spouse should share my atheism or else I no do again grin.

Another thing I observe is that a religious couple with differing beliefs either have to be hypocritical or ignorant of their scripture to live with each other. If you are a Muslim husband, how can you be happy with your christian wife and lead a peaceful marriage? Don't you know that your wife will end up in your Islamic hell? Aren't you concern? It's either you are a hypocrite or don't understand your holy book. Mr. Christian husband, your Muslim sweet heart is going to hell and won't have eternal life. How couples like this can live peacefully is beyond me.

So over to guys, can you marry a spouse that doesn't share you believes?

I don't consider myself a religious person, but I do believe in God. My approach about life in general is open mindedness. I'm tolerant to an extent. He can believe in whatever he wants to believe in, I don't have a problem, just as long as he keeps his beliefs to himself & doesn't try to convert me to anything. Because that is never going to happen. I'm very protective of my own views & individuality. I will not change them for anyone. My partner is a Muslim, even he knows not to bother me with Islam. If I respect your views, respect mine. Finish.

The marriage can happen, but one of the two is going to have to convert to the other's faith sooner than later. I don't see how people with divergent religious beliefs can stay married and happy together.

True, true, true and true. While a christian, I fell in love with a Muslim girl. That's as far one can go but to initiate marriage na another thing except one doesn't take one's holy book seriously.

I think i can't for sometimes..

Imagine me a christian waking up hearing my spouse screaming 'allahu akbar' or 'allahillal......' stuffs like that.. I would even sanction her for depriving me my rest by her wack screams....

But love can make you marry her beside all odds..

I bet u at times you won't tolerate her again until she convert by then you would be filled with guilt of marrying unbeliever..

The feeling can make u age faster...

"Yahweh's hell" is your own little fantasy, not mine. I'm not attached to any particular religion or God. I just believe that there's something or someone bigger than me out there.

I can... even though I am a christian, it's been years since I have entered a church and I also like islam, I ask questions about islam from scholars and I also read islamic books when I get the time but I will agree with my spouse that my children won't wear hijab and tebliq though they can have muslim names if she wishes and they will go to church though not regularly, they can also go to mosques

I am an atheist and it's okay to say that there is something bigger than me out. However, one must not push it further to say I know this being and what he wants from us. Good

As an Atheist do you believe there's something bigger than you out there? Because saying it's OK & admitting are two completely different things imo. Btw, I also have a problem with people who seem to think they have authority to speak on behalf of a spiritual entity. It's absolute garbage.

Actually I don't know if there is a being out there. There might be, there might not be. I am inconclusive. Obviously such a being, if he exist, isn't concerned about humanity's affairs neither is he willing to reveal itself/himself/herself to us. I would believe if someone presents proof or evidence for the existence of such being.

All I know is that all religious gods don't exist and all the holy books are bunks. Same with other world mysticism like voodoo, witchcraft, spells and curses, charms and incantation etc. They are all ridiculous garbage and facades of reality.

I agree with you. The confusion and conflict will definitely be there. Imagine disregarding something that your spouse considers sacred or seeing your children being taught a doctrine different from yours. Such marriage can only be peaceful if both couples are hypocrites or ignorant of their holy books.

IT IS EASIER FOR 2 PENGUINS TO WALK ALL THE WAY TO NOAH'S ARK IN THE MIDDLE EAST FROM THE ANTARCTICA, AND WALK BACK HOME AFTER 2 MONTHS, THAN FOR ME TO CONVINCE MISSCAPS THAT SHE'S BEING FOOLED WITH THIS FALSEHOOD CALLED RELIGION.
