I married with my husband whose value and culture different from mine. Our relationship is fine but sometimes unconciously I can't stop feeling a kind of prejudice or stereotypes about his behaviour relating to his belief. I know it is not right and I try to avoid telling him about it. My big question is how to respect his belief and stop pejudicing ans accept him as he is with all of his value and beliefs.

Everyone has prejudice more or less. What we should do is to be respectful to everyone afap and exchange your mind with others, then you can make it.

You could try to focus on understanding where his beliefs are coming from and why they make him the person he is. That way, even if you don't agree with them, you will still appreciate them for the understanding they help you to have of your husband. You could also try to participate in some activity that is a part of his belief and does not offend you, with him, so in that way you share in something that is important to understanding who he is.
