I think the first question you should ask yourself is, “Does my husband wish to share my faith with me?” Religion is probably the most personal decision you will make in life next to whom you are going to share your life with. If you have a religion, it probably comes with a system of beliefs that you follow and base your life on. I think that it is very important to find the religion that not only fulfills all of your spiritual needs but also has views about life that you want as your own. It is not something that you can have chosen for you if you want it to work. Has your husband ever discussed with you the desire to settle into a religion? Has he talked about wanting to explore the Christian faith or any other religion? Perhaps he has questions that he needs answers to before making a decision concerning his spirituality. Perhaps it is not something he feels he needs in his life at this time but later on down the road he might change his mind.
I am not Christian but I am very devoted to my religion. My significant other was once Catholic but his oldest daughter passed away at birth and that turned him away from the Church for many years. Recently, he has rediscovered his faith and now we are trying out ways to make a relationship work with each of us having different beliefs. If you want to share your religion and your faith in Christ with your husband, I think the most important thing to do is keep an open mind and ask him to do the same. Talk about your feelings concerning the Christian faith and Christ, talk about the way that your faith has helped you in life, and allow your husband to comment. If you want positive results keep a positive attitude. If your husband has questions about your faith, try to answer them and if you can’t, ask members of your church and listen to their responses. Talk to your husband and ask him why he hasn’t decided upon any religion. The answers to that question may help you learn whether or not he is interested in sharing your faith.
The most important part of this process is to avoid getting frustrated. Sometimes, it can be difficult to share your faith with another, especially someone you are sharing your life with. It can be even more challenging if the other party isn’t interested. Your faith in Christ is important to you so obviously you would love to share it with your husband. Talking to him in depth and without judgment about this subject could be the key to accomplishing that. When sharing your faith, keep his feelings in mind and if he is interested start by telling him why your faith in Christ is so strong and why it is such a large part of your life.
