The kids will be free to chose, per free will. As long as she doesn't beat me over the head with her new beliefs it will be good. It is hard to fall in un-love. Aaannnddd...if she beats you over the head with it? 
Maybe we should not go that far down the road.

With that kind of faith, I would not think it would matter if you married a non-believer or man of faith. If you were not specifically looking for a man of your faith, it would greatly broaden your search scope wouldn't it? I have no desire to broaden my search, to get a man not of my Faith. Bible teaches not to be unequally Yoked for a reason. God is in control of putting the right couples together. I am already talking to a man of my Faith. Also, I have dated men of my Faith, but it doesn't necessarily mean I am going to marry them either. Love plays the major part and I am not inlove Yet. Since you have a very religious view on marriage and seem willing to discuss your position with us...I hope you don't mind if I probe a bit more. What will you do if God does not bring your no longer believing husband back into faith? Say that from the time of his descent, 10 years go by with you continuing to trying to save him and him resisting you. Is there a breaking point where you have to tell him you are no longer evenly yoked and he has to go? If you use the New Testament as your guide, then the spouse has not given you just cause for a divorce. |

Then I will fall in un-love and it is kaput. |

I plan to marry a man of my Faith. I do not feel I would have a problem with him changing his religion later, because I am not seeking a religious man but a man, who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. doesn't that put a limit on prospective suitors?
So what if it puts a limit on prospective suitors? If a marriage is supposed to be a lifetime commitment, then one should be particular about whom one marries. i mean, there are some decent people out there that are not religious...
Decent? From who's perspective? In Mark 10:18 Jesus says, "No one is good except God alone."(ESV) |

My prospective partners are limited as I want someone who believes in God, but not a zealot. God is important in my Life, and any man that doesn't know God will not know me. 
You're not going to strap bombs on and blow yourself up, are you? No..I don't believe in that! |

I married him for Life so, I would stay with him as long as he doesn't commit adultry or abuse me. If that happened, then I would have to separate get counseling maybe even divorce if it didn't change. |

My Passion is the Lord! I do not care what anyone thinks of me. |

If you use the New Testament as your guide, then the spouse has not given you just cause for a divorce. What about 1 Corinthians, Dodo? I know it's a bit controversial because, it contradicts Matthews teachings on marriage and divorce, but 1st Corinthians states that if a man is married to an unbeliever and she chooses to stay that is fine, but if she leaves, the husband is not bonded to her and may remarry a believer. |

I hope that never happens to you, so you don't have to make those hard decisions. I may not believe myself, but can say nothing against anyone who stands by their convictions.

My mother is a commited christian and my father isn't religious and they aren't "unevenly yoked". I don't even really know what that's supposed to mean.

It's taken from the Greek word heterozugeo, which means to yoke up differently. |

It's taken from the Greek word heterozugeo, which means to yoke up differently. Yeah, I got that much and I know what the word means but I don't know how it's supposed to be uneven in any meaningful sense. My parents are happily married and have been for many years. Plenty of people that share the same religion have bad marriages. |

Plenty of people that share the same religion have bad marriages. I agree completely. I find it interesting that most Christians are so stanch about only marrying another Christian. Look at how many unbelivers King Solomon was married to and he was one of God's favorits. I would take that to mean it's not a deal breaker, but more of a preference. |

Will you try to win your spouse back to religious beliefs? Would you feel it was your duty to do so? |
