[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it probably makes sense to at least meet a few times with a marriage counselor--not because either of you is in the wrong, but because this sounds like a major shift in the marriage and it does bring up some questions about the raising of your children.

DH and I have very different worldviews.  He is an avowed atheist and I don't think that will ever change.  Though I am not religious I consider myself to be a spiritual person and I pray daily, read spiritual books, etc, etc.  I spend a couple hours every week meeting with a group of likeminded spiritual thinkers and to me, this is essential to my being a good wife and mom.  Like your DH, I don't ask or expect DH or our kids to take part.

I have offered DH an evening a week to recharge his batteries in whatever way he sees fit, which I think is fair, and it seems like in your case maybe he would do the same for you as PPs have suggested.  I think there's a long track record of interfaith couples in which one partner's faith is atheism, so I don't think this spells doom, but it's important to keep in mind that we all have different needs, beliefs, and paths to take in life.[/quote]
