[quote=Anonymous]How old are you OP?

I'm in my late 40s.  I was pretty "religious" when I was younger. Sang in the choir; taught Sunday school, etc.. Religion was very important to me. I held out for a religious guy.  I dated a guy who went to church (though not regularly), and was generally a good person, but in a lot of other ways, wasn't a good "Christian".

Then years later, I realized that my faith was not based on the understanding of God's grace, but a set of dogmatic beliefs.  I met a guy who is an agnostic, but in every other way, is more "Christian" than the previous Christian guy I dated.

We have now been married 17 years.  I take my kids to church, and DH is supportive of that. Sometimes at the dinner table, I talk to the kids about the stories in the Bible and about the true message of Christ. DH is right there with me. He may not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, but he absolutely believes and tries to follow most of His teachings. I go to know DH while we were dating and realized what a good person he is, and while he may not profess the same faith, he professes the same beliefs of being a good Christian. Faith, IMO, is between him and God.  I guess it also helps that my faith is no longer rooted in such dogma but more now based on God's grace and love.

It works for us.[/quote]
