She's not leaving me so that's a good sign, and she's still planning on getting married, I just think that it's going to lead to problems eventually. I don't even want kids, but she says she may some day and I guess I'd make one if she wanted it, but that'd be the biggest problem. I'm absolutely not going to teach a child that the Bible is truth. She is going to expect me to if she remains a Christian. That's going to cause serious problems...
Hmm, that would make sense. Since you mention that she is dealing with it as if it will just go away at some point. I have a strong feeling that if I express a desire to discontinue going, it's going to stir up quite a stink. I dunno if I should do it anyway or just wait it out and let her figure out that I'm not going back to Christianity?

Thats another thing. One thing I have noticed on discussion boards is in mixed marriages, the religious of the two usually get their way and raise the kids religious. Atheists tend to be more easy going about the subject unlike many of the religious. Dont raise them religious man, if you want my opinion. It took me a few years to get that worthless religious guilt and fear out of my system once I became an atheist.

As far as church goes...do you like going? If not then stop going. If you like it then do it.

Dont deny your feelings. That crap will build up and you will eventually take it out on your wife.

*Ive been married for 10 years, 3 before we got married, 2 kids both raised as freethinkers, and my wife is a "I really dont give a shit unless it pisses me off or makes me laugh" agnostic.
