What would you do if your spouse came home tonight and told you they had a spiritual experience, and felt a?

powerful change in their life. For the athiests, your spouse has decided to convert to a christian religion...for the christians your spouse has decided to become athiest...for the pagans, diests, islam etc think of the opposite. Would you be supportive after the initial shock or do you think it would create problems?What would you do if your spouse came home tonight and told you they had a spiritual experience, and felt a?
As long as that ';spiritual experience'; doesn't involve a pretty woman and does not require me to change my lifestyle, I wouldn't care. :)What would you do if your spouse came home tonight and told you they had a spiritual experience, and felt a?
When I married my husband, he firmly believed in God. Now he has questions and doubts about many things. I don't say it to him, but I sometimes think to myself, ';That's okay, I have faith enough for both of us.';





If he became a full-fledged atheist, it wouldn't change my love for him, or cause problems. As long as he respects my right to believe, I will respect his right to question, doubt, and not believe. The only way it would cause a problem is if he felt he needed very much for my beliefs to agree with his. Then it would be time for the counselor.





We've been married a long time, and he is my life. I'm not about to throw away what we have built together. If he needed to leave, then obviously I'd let him go, but I wouldn't be the one walking out the door unless it was absolutely necessary to preserve my sanity and sense of self.
I am an atheist, and I would have no problem. I mean, at first I would try and get her to be sensible, maybe I would take her to the doctor for a check-up. But if she wanted to believe in something that I don't, she can go right ahead, I just don't want her doing anything crazy because of religion, like killing my children.
While I understand the spirit of this question, becoming an atheist does not involve a spiritual experience- it is, after all, a disbelief in the gods. Instead, it is a rational choice.
I'd be incredibly inquisitive, but ultimately it'd be her own choice. I certainly wouldn't think any less of her. How could I? I used to be a Christian myself and am very familiar with the religion.





- atheist
she would be on her way to see her doctor. it would be time to change meds again. this happens once in a while. in a few days she is back to normal. thanks for reminding me.
she can do as she please im her husband not her boss
I would support him what ever he decided. If he became a Christian and said he could only be with an other Christian. I would be sad but I would understand. Merry we met and Merry we will part!
I would say, ';no more going to the pub for lunch';
I'd be super pissed that I was drunk enough last night to get married.
