Spaceghost,
My parents drummed that one into my head. Fortunately I listened. I advise my children in the same way. Couples with the same religion have a much easier time of raising children.

You should know the flipside. I rate my husband a different sort of Catholic than me. Our approach to praylife has always been different. After 20 something years of marriage we go to different Catholic churches. I prefer quiet comtemplative prayer. He prefers very vocal prayer. It wasn’t always this way but now we are comfortable with it since the children have grown in adulthood.

Catholic/Catholic or Catholic/Baptist…husbands and wives don’t share the same umbilical cord to God.
 
In a minute! The best thing would be if we could have converted BEFORE marriage and had a Catholic marriage all along 🙂
 
In a heart beat. All though maybe not so young. i would have finished school first, THEN i would have married that goof ball all over again. NO regrets, though. my husband supports me going back to get my bachelors 100%. i have my associates but want more. in fact, he says no babies until i have that degree. gotta get on that this summer. yall pray we find the funds please.

I DID! Our marriage in the Episcopal Church was not valid, and after 30 years of what can be described in canon law terms as “living in open fornication” – to put it bluntly – we had to do it from scratch in the Catholic Church.

We’re both treating each other better this time around.
 
We were married 3 times. The first was a civil ceremony, second was when we joined the church, third was to renew our vows. My husband is the most awesome man. He has been an excellent husband and father. I don’t deserve him and I am so grateful to God for him.
 
I feel for you Space Ghost. My mom never told me to not marry Catholic, but I just always new I would. My husband was nothing when we started dating in high school and he was open to coming to church with us and everything. He converted. I wouldn’t know my life if he wasn’t in it. He is a wonderful man and I feel blessed to be married to him. EXCEPT for the last two weeks. :mad: Can you say dog house?
 
Yup.

Haven’t seen anything close to as good in 18 years. Doubt I ever will.
 
I don’t think so, but on a conciliatory note, we’re all supposed to embrace our crosses–and I can literally do just that. But this is probably just one of those times in life being single just seems more peaceful, LOL.

The day I got married, I never thought it would be possible to love a person more deeply.

Almost two years later, I realize that love not only grows, but it changes in shape, too.

I can’t wait to feel the strength of my love and devotion to him 50 years from now! 🙂

(and yes, I would most definitely marry my husband again.)
 
My hubby is my best friend and I think that life would be pretty lonely without him. This Halloween will be our 18th wedding anniversary.😃 Pretty good for a couple whose friends took bets that their marriage would fail before the first year. I am not saying that it has been easy. We are both from pretty dysfunctional families and had to learn by ourselves how** not** to follow our parents’ examples. In the end though, it has all been worth it. I love my dear hubby more today then I did the first day that I met him. Yeah, I would do it all over again and marry the same spouse.

By the way…CONGRADULATIONS to Alan for having his 18th anniversary.👍
 
I’d marry her again in a heartbeat. We’ve been married almost 6 years and it gets better every day…not to mention our 2 year old son who really makes life worth living.
 
I had 14 years with my late dh. When we met, I was an atheist and he a fallen away separated married man with 3 children.

Since finding God in His Most Holy Catholic Church, my morals and life views have done a 180 degree turn. 👍

I loved him dearly and miss him more than words can express, but in light of how my life has changed for the BETTER since finding God, I would not marry him again 😦 But that is assuming the circumstances were exactly the same with him being married (I falsely believed that being separated and headed to divorce court made him a “free” man so to speak.)

I am now 43 and raising two head strong boys WITHOUT a husband and father for them 😦 and daily it gets harder and harder, but this is were God wants me to right now.
 
Absolutely!!

Four children, eight years. I would be lost without her. Actually, as cheezy as this sounds, I don’t like to think about “would I marry her again”, since this would mean that there would be a chance that I would have missed out on her the first time.

I love my wife. I only hope she feels the same way!!! :love:
 
I love my husband and kids dearly, but it is a hard road. If I had the faith I have today 10 years ago, I would’nt have even started dating him. 😦
 
Thank you, Elizabeth. I haven’t talked to anyone about the state of my marriage, so those are the first words of sympathy. I wouldn’t even know how to start a post or where to begin. I don’t have any of the obvious problems of the op whose husband left. Also negative to drugs, drink, adultery, abuse, etc. My husband is just indifferent to my existence. Mother Teresa said that the opposite of love isn’t hate, it is indifference.

Shannon, I am sorry to see that there are others in the same boat. I will pray for you.
 
I say this with a heavy heart but no I would not marry my spouse if I could do it again. I reverted back to the church 5 years ago and she wanted no part of it and recently told me that she wants to end our marriage because of her anxiety around my Catholic beliefs. However, looking at it from a different angle: I do love my 16 yr old daughter so much and she would not be here if I didn’t marry my wife in the first place - I would hate to have a life without my daughter!
 
Would I marry the same spouse again… My dilemma is which one… :hmmm: Well…the first one for sure I’d give anything to bring him back to life… My present one…I really don’t know… we are so opposite in so many of the important things…then again I do love him…:confused:
