I'm not religious. So if we flip the question around, I would not marry someone who was very religious.
Would you marry someone who doesnt have a strong desire to have a close personal relationship with God as you do?

Yes, in fact, I did. My husband is an atheist, but he's respectful of my beliefs and agrees that I will raise our children in the church. I believe that heaven is a choice and those who wish to go, God welcomes. Those who don't are each granted their own version of hell. I pray that one day my husband will accept God into his life, but I recognize that it's not my place to judge or push him to do so. God has his own timing and he wouldn't have given me the amazing relationship that I have if I wasn't meant to be here.

Thats something i never understood, that you can be a great and honest caring person and still go to hell, if you dont believe??!!

Father. Leader. Head of household. Provider. Spiritual leader. The man u marry plays an important role in your life for eternity.

And the woman who never marries is supposed to be guided by her church family and her Lord and savior. she has more time to devote to her relationship with Christ and to use her time and talents to do his work.

it means in a traditional biblical family the father is the one who lays the foundation for the family faith. he makes the decisions about where to go to church. he shepherds his family flock. for me, I wouldn't give myself to a man who hadn't given himself to God for a million reasons. but my guess is none of u r on here to hear a sermon on marriage and my religious views, so I will refrain.

what about women who never marry? are they destined to a life of spiritual ineptitude?

Me and my husband both believe that aliens created us by by mutating the genes of monkeys lol sounds nuts now that I'm saying it aloud. But we're happy with it. We let my mom take the kids to church sometimes, so they have the freedom to explore religion and decide for themselves what they believe in. I don't want to force a religion on them the way that my family forced Christianity on me growing up

I use to be agnostic when my husband and I first started dating, he was Christian. He answered a lot of my questions and in no doubt helped lead me to Jesus. I would never be able to marry to marry a man that did not share the same faith as I do. The thought of it makes my stomach turn honestly.

If I were ever to lose my husband, I would not marry a man that doesn't share the same Christian Faith as I do. However I would consider maybe dating an agnostic man as long as he is open and willing to learn & become closer to God.

He didnt have your same faith, he just re-ignited your faith

I have no personal connection to god, the bible is a good story but thats all it is too me, we are our own gods and make our own fates, and cause our own changes of our environments, i think the world would be better without religion and just treat each other as human, and isnt that what is all about anyways

I don't really believe in any one religion. I kinda believe the truth lies in the middle of all of them. But anyway I would never have even dated a super religious guy never mind marry one. I don't need someone telling me I'm wrong about what I believe and try to force something on me.
