However, couples do living happily together when one is an athiest and the other is not. How they do this is unique to each couple. In the cases I've seen the wife invariably has to compromise the practising of her faith far more than the husband has to compromise on his athiest philosophies.

Respect something is demonstrated by assigning some value to it. That might present as a paradox to some athiests.

Just my thoughts!
about as challenging as a fish eater living with a vegan ... no challenge at all , near 6yrs wed, yes its 6, i thought it was 7, but it just seems it

the misses can goto church all she wants, I'll not stop her if that's what she wants, but I've been with her a couple of times, and that was twice too many .

maybe I've seen too many good people suffer to believe in god, some of the most decent people I've meet were atheists, my stepfather for one.

you don't need to be a Christian to have morals or standards. maybe 2 things lacking in some Christians
