Re: Christian marrying former Christian/new atheist

You say that God's presence is with her but that she does not believe in Him anymore? Isn't that a contradiction?

Anyhow she does seems sincere in her unbelief and maybe her faith was all work and religion but no Christ. I had that in a convent and in the end I hated religion. Fortunately that was not the end of the story.

It is very sad but you said you did have a check about marrying her. It is true that we ought to marry those who share our faith and obviously this is a big struggle for you. She is even having doubts herself from what you describe. You will clearly be going in different directions or at least there is a part of your spiritual direction that she would not be able to share in.

Obviously you really need to seek God on this in light of the scripture not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
