Are you and your partner on the same page?

I recently met up with a guy who wanted to share his troubles of coming out as an Atheist to his family. He mentioned his primary problem is coming to terms with his wife who is fairly religious and involved with the church (and even tithes $300/mo!). He wanted to go to an Atheist gathering and she prevented him from going. He also pointed out that when he first started dating his wife he told her he believed in God when really it wasn't significant to him, but nonetheless it is now a core part of their relationship. I'm not being mean but that sucks for him!

I feel for couples that kick their relationship off on the core principles of religion and then one partner ends up dropping out.
