These comments are from another thread, but were more of a side conversation. I thought it'd be better to create a new conversation.

Since it was @EastCoastRemnant that originally posed the question....it would be nice for him to explain what he's imagining is different between Par5's marriage and the general Christian marriage. It seems there's a subtle presumption there with the comment about "not wanting to engage in some things you both used to love doing together". What is being presumed will possibly change? What are these possible "things you both used to love doing together" that are going to have to be ditched (hypothetically)?

EastCoastRemnant said:Being an atheist, could you stand by your wife is she wanted to become a Christian? Even if by her doing so, she would not want to engage in some of the things you both used to love doing together?
what sort of things do you think we do that she would no longer want to do if, as in your scenario, she did become a Christian. I would really like to know.
We don't do things that are harmful to ourselves or our marriage, so the question of her becoming a Christian doesn't arise, just as the question of being drug or gambling addicts doesn't arise. You still haven't told me what you think the things are that my wife may no longer wish to share with me if she, in your scenario, became a Christian. What on earth could they be I wonder?
