yes and it doesn't.

yes and it does mine, I find it lonely not being able to discuss things with him and not having him to pray with over our dc and decisions we have to make.

Yes, I am and it doesnt really - we married in Church, as he knew it was imporatant to me and in his opinion he was saying vows in front of family and friends and that was key.

He also agreed to both our boys being baptised and liked the idea of them having GodParents.

It doesnt stop me discussing things with DH, infact it can make for a good perspective.

I am.

Like SG, I do feel sad that there are things we can't do/pray together about and that there are things that we don't talk about.

However, like Garish, we were also married in church and he respects my wish to bring our boys up as christians. He knew that those things were absolute musts for me, and was prepared to respect them.

He is also very good for me, as, knowing that I might have to explain my beliefs/actions to him, it makes me question what and why I believe, and to look at my behaviour too, to make sure it is consistent with what I say I believe!
