For non-religious people who have a religious partner, has their religion been a positive or negative factor in your relationship?

I am not deeply religious. Nor is my partner. So, this isn't exactly the same as what you are asking but I will opine because I think what I have to say is relevant.

Even though I am not much religious, I am somewhat. My religion (Hindu) is different than that of my partner (Christian). We will both celebrate respective holidays. I am from India and he is Australian.

I see it as a positive because it has been an adventure learning about his customs as far as religion goes. I celebrated my first ever Christmas last year, which was exciting. I think learning and excepting others for who they are and how they worship can only be taken as a positive thing.

He also participates in some of our religious traditions. I say this all, again, with the understanding that we are neither super religious people. I think that is important to remember because I believe we can tolerate each other's beliefs better that way. Just my opinion.

At first it was not positive, however, it began to make sense. So, I can only say it was of God. And we both were supposed to be In Christ Jesus…and we are. God shows Himself though…in the exchanges. I had a question and an answer, through another person, was provided. It was freaky…

I’m Christian and people that are not really serious Christians are difficult to work with
