Nice post Nicole, but...those of us who are not religious have spouses in similar situations. I too have a very clear path for myself. I think I’ve mentioned before, that while my beliefs are quite liberal, I lead a very conservative life (not only do I not drink, but I’ve never been drunk, tried any drug, or taken a single puff on a cigarette). I don’t believe I’ve ever been to a bar and married my first boyfriend and have been married to him for more than 25 years. Not trying to attack your beliefs, or those of others, but have the profound sense that there is schism developing on this site between the religious and not religious that really makes me quite sad and seems often to get in the way of people trying to help people. I hope everyone here keeps in mind that this is a place where presumably we are unified by similar experiences in our intimate relationships, and that we happen to have different spiritual beliefs should not divide us. I would never suggest people shouldn’t embrace their faith, but it seems to be becoming some kind of a clique or badge or something. Just my thought. Quite certain some people will be offended by this, although I assure you I mean no harm.
