As the female it is YOUR decision and no-one else's. (from a Darwinian PoV)
For me the big question would be children and possible indoctrination thereof.
It all comes down to how much you're prepared to put up with, do you have any red-line issues which would make you leave?
For myself I'd say hope for the best but plan for the worst.

No, I don't, and thank heavens for that because it isn't a very healthy book. But there are verses that come up over and over as justification for particular things. Alpha Male's verse is rather familiar to me. It's the out when a Christian leaves someone of another faith.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Big red flag right there. He's a crackpot, dump him & find someone who is your mental & emotional equal.

Coming from a household where one of my parents was somewhat Christian (didn't go to Church until I myself showed some interest as they wanted for me to discover my faith on my own), the other atheist, it can definitely work out....many hardcore Christians have said it can't work out, but they also spent most of their free-time at Church, which even most devout Christians just don't do.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

The real hitch comes with children. Did your Christian parent want you raised Christian, and if so did your atheist parent mind? I would mind very much.

As I stated before, seeeing as how they did not force religion on me, it was not an issue.
