What do you do when you totally are 'in like' with someone you've been dating for a few weeks and find out that they do not believe in God?
It's not that easy just to stop. I'm praying about it.

if you are saved, hopefully he will begin to see the spark in your eye and the shine to your presence. This is how i was born again. The girl i loved, was so bright and winsome, i asked her, why she was always so, soo optimistic and full of love, she then told me of her devotion to Christianity and opened my heart to the lord. A women's heart must be so lost in God, that a man must seek Him in order to find her.

I am married to someone who doesn't believe in God. I pray every night that he will go to God. I know that there is a reason why I married him and that is because he needs God in his life in one way or another. Just keep praying about it and the answer will come for you as well.

This is a personal issue between you and your partner, and we don't know the whole story. That said our advice may not fit your situation.
I am an atheist, like your partner, and I do not believe that religion should stop love. Sure, you may grind eachothers gears a bit, but I think if you can get over it he probably can too. Remember, it isn't your job to save him. If he wants a lifestyle that you believe will lead to eternal damnation it is his choice. If you can accept him for who he is and what he believes in I think you can have a good relationship.

My man doesn't believe in God either. I once doubted if i should continue our relationship for that reason but i gave a promise to him to accept him with all honesty. And i do. I respect him for what he believes in, and he does respect me for mine. Our religion or what we want to believe should not affect how we feel about the person we love(^^,)

Whether you believe in God or not is a huge difference. I know it's hard to let someone go that you like, but how can you be with someone who has different beliefs than you? You're just going to run into big problems if he doesn't share your faith. I can't say what's best for you since I don't know your situation but you're doing the right thing by praying about it. God is the only one who can tell you what to do.
