Hi everyone
I'm a former Christian who is married to a Christian woman. My wife and I have a wonderful relationship and we're very happy together. Fortunately my wife, although she believes that Jesus is God, does not try to change me or force me to think any differently than I currently do. She knows how I feel about Christianity, and religion in general, and still she never acts like some Christians do - cursing me to hell and all that mumbo-jumbo dogma that the religion promotes. She's even dropped a lot of her former fundamentalism in favor of a harmonious relationship with her husband. She witnessed my de-conversion from theism, my brief bout with atheism, and my transformation into an open-minded man. I 'allow' her belief, and she 'allows' mine, without either of us trying to coerce or manipulate the other. It was not an easy transition, and I acknowledge things like maturity and personality when considering our respective evolutionary thought processes. I'm glad we landed where we are now, and I'm so in love with my sweet wife - religion and all.
Thanks for reading
Anyone else here "unequally yoked"? Care to share your story?
