No.In other words one Christian one athiest. Can it ever work?
I am a Muslim. My wife is a Christian. This works perfectly well. The Qur'an promises Paradise to Christian's who are faithful to their religion. Why would this be a problem?In other words one Christian one athiest. Can it ever work?

My grandparents were shia and suni (I probably butchered the spelling lol) They came to UK from a village near Islamabad for better healthcare after the first son passed on. Went on to have 3 other sons, one being my fatherI am a Muslim. My wife is a Christian. This works perfectly well. The Qur'an promises Paradise to Christian's who are faithful to their religion.

First of all....welcome to our forum. I apologise for not saying this before.My grandparents were shia and suni (I probably butchered the spelling lol) They came to UK from a village near Islamabad for better healthcare after the first son passed on. Went on to have 3 other sons, one being my father
Depends. If one wants to impose their beliefs on the other, probably not. But if they accept each other other's beliefs and it's otherwise not an issue, I don't see why not. Culturally speaking, atheists still have the same value system as the Christian.In other words one Christian one athiest. Can it ever work?
Depends on what you mean by ' work '?In other words one Christian one athiest. Can it ever work?
No.
Personal experience my wife isn't an atheist but mixed paganism and a bit of the bible .
No,it is in part that the lost dont and can't see the ways of the Lord .Care to explain this experience? Was it your personal discomfort with her beliefs and therefore a cause of strife in the relationship, or something else entirely?
I learned that non-christians are always watching us. The scripture where Jesus said in Matthew 5:13, "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." I understood one day that it means, if we do something that discredits us as christians toward others, it's nearly impossible to win back any favor with them. What I mean is, they decide our faith is worthless. To be salty means, people become thirsty because of our outward expression of faith, and they wonder, "what do they have that I don't?", and they become curious and begin to watch us closely. To the point of scrutinizing us.No,it is in part that the lost dont and can't see the ways of the Lord .
Not that confessing christians do better at times
I have been married for twenty years . I'm not the best husband ,but let's not assume people that are saved don't have bad habits in marriages ..I learned that non-christians are always watching us.

It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."

1 Corinthians 7:15 says, "But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace." My ex-pastor once told me, that particular scripture was talking about the pagan corinthians and newly converted christians who were married. If they could tolerate the beliefs of their pagan spouse, they should be together. But if they depart, let them go.
I guess what I'm saying is, praying for the person, and being an example of Christ's love to them, can some times win a person over. Hand over their heart to God and trust God with them, you know?
I'm not judging you and I don't know the situation. If God brings two people together, you will know it, because God will bless that relationship. It's between you and Him to decide if you should be with that person, ultimately. Some times He may bring someone into our life and it may take years of praying for them before they turn to Him. You know?
And some times, their hearts are hard and dull, and wont recieve the gospel. Again, that is between you and God to decide what is best.
But believe me, people are always watching even when we're not aware of it. It can be a hard line to walk, especially when we mess up some times.
