My atheist self is married to a catholic girl, we've had 3 kids and, after.... damn... more than 10 years putting up with her, we're still at it!
She goes to her ritual every Sunday, I complain about it every now and then... not too much, just enough, when that ritual conflicts with some more important task.
She doesn't care much about my atheism and lets me be...
I let her her baptize the kids and take them to sunday school... while I answer truthfully when they ask me if I believe that god exists... and then ask them back!
So yes, it is possible... it's all in how permissive you're willing to be... and her too.
Life as couple has very little to do with belief in a sky-daddy.
Thank you too. Was it easy for you and your ethics/beliefs to allow/ignore the baptizing and sunday schooling of your children?
