Marrying of two different denominations

Hi!

I am confused and emotionally wrought about something that is very important to me.

I am married to a very wonderful man (we recently got married).

I know I should have really considered this BEFORE I got married, but my husband belongs to a denomination that I am just truly against because of their doctrine, belief system, etc.

I'm trying to figure out what God's purpose is by me marrying this man as I asked God to send me a mate who is truly caught up by God and is more of a spiritual leader in our relationship.

My husband is so wonderful to me and I'm truly blessed to finally have a great relationship where he respects me and loves me. I finally got a "nice" guy!

However, he is Catholic (not a very practicing one) and I'm so very not. I grew up So. Baptist and Methodist (baptized as a Baptist), but as an adult I lean more towards non-denominational. My husband and I have found a wonderful church to go to.

When he and I read (mainly me) from the Bible we have such different views, i.e. virgin Mary, confessional, praying to Saints, etc. There are many other topics as well that I disagree with the Catholic faith that are just too numerous to list on here.

When I talk to him about it he just tells me that he will be in hell with all of the other good Catholics out there.

This grieves me...what should I do if anything? My husband does not go to Catholic mass regularily and he will attend a non-denominational church with me. Regardless of the denomination I just disagree with Catholicism (not the members) as a whole.

I knew I would have this issue before I married him, but I do truly love my husband and want us to grow together in our faith in God and to have God as our foundation.

God is in control. Stay in church together and let God take the lead.
