Can a relationship work between a christian and an atheist? [Spirituality & Religion]

LeahUnknown · 41-45, F
If your in love and except and respect each other you can work through any difference
@LeahUnknown This ☝️
Anything is possible, however to answer this question, one must turn to the source of wisdom and understanding...God’s Word. One cannot go wrong turning there for the truth. God warns us of the consequences of being “unequally yoked”. Believers are NOT to marry unbelievers....”...for what fellowship hath light with darkness?” It reads. If such a union was acceptable and worked well, he would not have had to warn against it. Too much conflict there.

In the honeymoon period. Yes.
After, it is debatable depending on how strong each persons beliefs are.
@SW-User
Agreed, The more fundamentalist & rigid the Christian is, the more difficult the relationship would be.
@ShadowedWhispers but the atheist being a fundamentalist wouldn't be a problem
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP No they would. Fair point. I’m just more used to seeing the rigidness on the belief side. Probably because the atheist is not trying to save your soul from some eternal damnation and hellfire.
I don’t believe so in the long run I think eventually it’ll get in between certain things in the future if the relationship is long term.
@ShadowedWhispers that’s odd
@summerlove I don’t shy from my beliefs. I say thank god when I want to thank god. She does not as she doesn’t belief there is one. I accept her and she accepts me and neither of us would belittle the other for our choice of belief.
@Stark It works for us though. And honestly, nobody really knows, either one of us could be right or even neither. My faith gives me comfort and she says she finds comfort in her absence of it.

Yes, if you dump your beliefs and be humanist.

Yes if they want it to
@SW-User Indeed my friend. 🍀

Friendship perhaps

Didn't we have this question yesterday or the day before? The answer is that both parties are half right. We really do continue past death and the divine has nothing to do with it.

easier than if they were of different religions, since atheist logically shouldn't mind about the other person's religious traditions if they are in love.

would be difficult beliefs kind of make people bond.both paries would have to leave out their beliefs and way of life

i couple of my gfs in the past believed in all that shit i dont i wouldnt go as far as saying it can break up the relationship

Depends on the couple. Some it might work, some it might not. This goes for any believe system, cross belief matches or not.

if Money is what bonds them, then YES.

As long neither person is the type that enjoys pushing what they think on those around them. Also they would not need their partner to agree with what they think exists after we die.
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Respect is key.
