Do you hold different religious beliefs to your spouse?
If so, does it affect your relationship in any way?

yes i do
I am spiritualist and my husband was atheist leaning towards agnostic ( with some interest in Asatru )
it doesnt affect our relationship at all
he respects what I believe , and I respect him
he isnt as interested in religions as I am , so we dont discuss things very often
but he fully supports anything I do concerning my beliefs
and he is wishing to attend some Pagan festivals in the near future and I would love to go with him

We have the same basic belief, that Jesus is the only way to Heaven but there are some parts of the Bible we get a different meaning or understanding of, sometimes it dose give each of us different enlightenment other times we just have to agree that we disagree and let it go at that. If we feel it is a very strong point then we will get another opinion from our pastor. Even if your married each person should have a personal relationship with God and the main thing is that your trying to keep in your heart to do Gods will and not your own.
It is important to keep your heart soft and be willing to change and not be bull headed, We are only human and we are wrong sometimes and it is about God not us. If I know I am in Gods will I will stand,If I'm not sure I will keep an open mind. I sometimes need to change, God dose not.

Yes, I am Pagan and my husband is Christian. When we met my husband wasn't very religious at all. He re-found god a couple of years ago and now wants me to go to church with him. I refuse, its not me thing and never has been. When we get into an argument I'm called a dirt worshiper. That's fine be me because that is a common thing with Christians to down talk something that they have no idea about.

i do not recognize 2 those with extra diverse political views than James Carville & Mary Matalin. they seem to have a distinctly satisfied marriage. i wager if my political view were my center perspectives, i'd have a not undemanding time. fortunately for me, i imagine all politics is a gaggle of carp so i do not truly care about opposing perspectives. My husband & I are frequently on an similar web page, yet we disagree about some issues. It would not (and did not) end me from marrying him. i can seem previous his incorrect perspectives at the same time as i favor to. LOL

My partner was a catholic and I am an atheist (humanist). He was so intolerable to other ideas and beliefs that I used to lie and say I was a christian just to please him. Of course the relationship didn't work out because I didn't want to be with someone who wouldn't let me be myself...

i'm not married, but when it's my time, that will be a top priority. if a person is married to someone who holds different religious beliefs, i would say they don't take their religion very seriously.

Fortunately we have the same beliefs. That affects our relationship because it is one more thing we share and happens to be the most important one.
Cheers :-)

I am Anglican & my hubby is catholic but as neither one of us is very religious it has never affected our relationship.
