A quick question...

This is following up on a post i've made on the marrige forum...

Has any of you ever dated a guy and only a few weeks in to the relationship found out he was not a Christian (you simply assumed they were...)?

If it happened to you - how did it eventually end up? did it "end" up?

When I married my husband of 23 years...  We were both saved believers.  We were however two believers who believed differently.  He was coming from a religious background I had no intention of joining, and was a newly saved person.  I had been saved a while, but had no intention of joining the Catholic church.  He had gone to seminary before we met and had hopes of becoming a priest.  He chose instead to leave the church and marry me.  He left the religion completely more than 20 years ago...

No, to the best of my knowledge, I have never dated a guy.

I never dated a guy, but have twice dated girls who were not saved...neither relationship lasted very long.  It wasn't just religion, but the values that go along with being a Christ follower were often conflicting with their worldly values.  Then I dated a girl who was a Christian like me.  Our beliefs were not exactly in line, but the important things were and we have now been married almost nine years.

In Christ,

Uh I found out my current gf is Catholic.  That was kind of a surprise.

Dunno how that's gonna work out.  It may not.  We shall see.

My first 'real' boyfriend was a non-christian. I had gotten the impression that he was a seeker on the verge of christianity - but he turned out to be a backslidden christian on his very fast way out the door.

If he didn't deliberatly decieve me - he certainly didn't go out of his way to enlighted me either.

And since I was basically missionary dating without realising it, what comeback did I have?

It ended badly with the potential to have ended disasterously. Worse because I was genuinely in love with him, and was viewing it in terms of marriage.

Bad, bad, bad.
