My ex found jesus during our marriage and it changed him. He is a fiscally conservative moderate and I had to take everything and the boys.
He no longer saw me as worthy.

He sounds like a dick.

@MrLink wasn’t for 15 years but ended out that way. We are in a great place, that’s what matters.

I know u only from here , and I have to say , he was a moron to let u go . Sorry , Jesus of whatdver, he lost an educated , sharp , kind , a great looking woman . His loss . Hope Jesus is good to him 🤢

People who "find" the big j.c are often the worst fanatical ones.

YES, except for the last two words.

Only if sex is very very good.

Can any conservative make a marriage work?

Good point!!!! In my experience many of the men who are conservatives on this site are married. The conservative men are usually on the prowl and lead double lives. Note I did not say all conservatives.

@Kojaksmom that's exactly where I was coming from! 😃

Isn't working for me...

It is possible only if the atheist is also conservative.

Yes. I did it, but then god killed my wife with a brain tumor. True story.

In my experience not if your values and morals are important to you

2

It all depends on the persons involved. If they are honest with each other and respect each others beliefs, then yes.

2

No.

Shared values are important in a marriage, especially when raising kids.

2

It depends on how extreme each person is.

Like, he's just "a little bit" christian, and she's just a little bit atheist?

2

Possible? Sure. Easy? Probably not.

2

With mutual acceptance and respect? Possible.

Didn't work for me.

2

Just about anything is possible, but I'm still going to vote "NO".

2

Yes. There are no blue or red potholes in local government, and there are no Republican or Democrat diapers to change. If you can respect your partner, that's all that matters. People are more than their politics.

Forget about the whole con v lib ath (I'm assuming your lib). Those are just words. For the marrige to work it has to be a certain mindset.

I’m an atheist who has been married to a Christain woman for the last 43 years. We just don’t discuss religion or my lack of it.

I have an atheist friend who is very happily married to a Christian. He considers her beliefs trivial but respects her enough not to try to confront her and she doesn't try to convert him.

Delutional life as apposed to life built on reason and critical thought? Good luck!

Sure it is.

Get her to sign a pre-nup.
