I love and lived this issue. Thank you both for your amazing insights and this discussion. It was a light upon my relationship. I met my husband at 18 years old. We married and I thought we had the most wonderful marriage. Unfortunately we are now separated; after 40 years together. It has been extremely sad and confusing to myself and I am having Faith that he will think longer and harder on his decision to leave our union. Oct 30, 2019 was when he left - I do have many many beautiful memories. Please - if you read this; just remember how precious marriage is. Thanks for helping me understand a bit more !!!!

I think the best thing to do is discuss pretty much everything before you get married. If your partner doesn't share major beliefs, it's better to know now and let them go. It will hurt so much worse later after marriage when the marriage ends. After marriage it's hard; I guess just try to respect each other enough. Compromise when you can and lovingly and respectfully hold the line when you can't. And forgive each other. You can't have a lasting relationship without forgiveness.
I believe different beliefs can work. However, there are belief systems where you are shunned if you leave, your spouse is then counseled about not to listen to you. Therefore it creates a huge wedge and disrespect in your marriage. I speak from experience.
Yes! We have seen this a thousand times. Especially in the church. It is a very sad thing, and that's why we started Marriage Helper. We believe there is hope for EVERY marriage, no matter what has happened. Thank you for your transparency and we are so sorry you have gone through this. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help you more in the future!
My wife and I have the same beliefs but at this point she wants to go out with family and friends on her own without me. It scares me that I might loose her
