My husband is an atheist and I love him very much but it's difficult to deal w/ his attitude advice please

I know that logically we should never have dated/ fallen in love/ married but I do not want a divorce although I find his dark attitude toward God the world and me hard to takeMy husband is an atheist and I love him very much but it's difficult to deal w/ his attitude advice please
A dark attitude toward God is not atheism because a true atheist would have no attitude because they don't believe God exists. A dark attitude toward you is reason for divorce. He sounds like a very unhappy person who could probably benefit from a relationship with God.My husband is an atheist and I love him very much but it's difficult to deal w/ his attitude advice please
I am not considering my self as being a christian I do not belong or plan to belong to any church. I am not a atheist either. I just am not convinced the ';Christians'; have it all down right. I need more information about what you consider a dark attitude. I enjoy growing plants .making my and my families life better. I enjoy music and most of the arts. I don't like evil , I choose the way I live regardless of any heavenly reward if the God made me the way I am then he must know me and can judge me as ever he, she it . sees fit.
establish a bound that neither of you will subject the other to didactics. i agree with the other posters, if it wasn't a problem before, then why now? you both went into it knowing the other's beliefs. just don't preach to him about god and ask him not to preach to you about the lack of god.





just be sure that he knows how unhappy you are about it.





*btw, i'm atheist.
Well, the logical answer is to not talk about religion.


However, this is not justa religious question. Being an athiest myself I know that this view does touch on perceptions of life and humanity as well. So-you picked this guy. Obviously these attitudes didn't bother you while you were dating. You now have to decide if they are enough to split you up. If not, then just smile and let it slide. There's nothing else you can do.
You can't help who you like however if you knew he was an atheist before you two married then you really shouldn't have married him. You sound like you are a christian and therefore are fully aware of the belief that believers and unbelievers should not be yoked together...for what do they have in common? (paraphrase of a corinthians chapter). However, being that you did fall in love with him and are now married...you really don't have too many options. Tell him how you feel and that you don't want to hear him down talking your religion. As your husband he should respect that, just as you should respect the fact that he doesn't believe in religion. The two of you need to not talk about religion at all if it is going to cause a riff between you two. However, if you are a strong believer it is going to be pretty hard for you to do. If you two can agree to respect each other and not ridicule the othe for their beliefs then you can make it. If you nor him can respect eachother enough to do that then you may have to rethink your marriage. You are with an unbeliever which is totally contradictory to who you are as a christian. You should not be ridiculed for what you believe and neither should he. Good luck.
Let what he says go in one ear and out the other and love him anyway. You agreed knowing he is atheist to marry him.
God says he's a fool and you should believe that too.
He is insecure, and probably feeling convicted. Just remember the power of prayer. Don't react to his questions or demeanor when he starts asking you about God and your beliefs, etc. Pray, and read Corinthians. Good luck!
I would think its a bit too late to feel this way... the best thing to do is ignore him if you can. And I hope you don't have any kids together, cause your belief and his disbelief will mess them up.
Maybe you should ask him to respect your opinions on your spirituality and you can refrain from commenting on his beliefs. Obviously you two are very different in that arena and there is no common ground. You both may have to just leave that particular subject taboo between the two of you.
