Marriage And Religion

Mariage et religion travaillant ou se heurtant à travers les différences

Marriage and religion have been bound together for years. Marriage ceremonies are, after all, done in churches, temples and other religious houses of worship, as a way of uniting couples.

And apparently it’s beneficial for the health of your relationship.

According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, marriage and religion, when mixed together, offer a massive amount of benefits for a person’s quality of life, including better physical health, longer life, economic success and more stability for children.

While this sounds great in abstract, it’s important to look at the specifics of how faith can help your marriage.

At a time when American society has become less religious, many people still say shared religious beliefs are an important ingredient for marital success. But married adults point to other factors, such as shared interests and even sharing household chores, as bigger keys to a successful marriage.

If you or your spouse are becoming more spiritual — while the other one isn't — it can create tension in your marriage. But your religious journey doesn't have to wreak havoc on your relationship with your husband or wife.

Perhaps you are discovering a deeper sense of your own spirituality. Whether it's a huge transition or a minor one, you want your life to change in spiritually-oriented ways that are in accordance with your beliefs.

But, just because you're seeking a deeper religious or spiritual freedom doesn't mean that everyone in your life is also going to — and this includes your spouse.

Perhaps your husband or wife doesn't see eye-to-eye with you when it comes to religion or religious beliefs. And while you're moving toward a deeper, new understanding of your spirituality, he or she wants nothing to do with it. You start wondering how to save your marriage and stay in love, despite these growing differences.

This situation can feel frustrating for everyone involved. And the truth is your evolving spirituality wreak havoc on your relationship, if it isn't addressed properly.

For example, you may want to share your newly awakening ideals with your spouse, and when your partner doesn't join in with you, it can wind up with one or both of you feeling slighted, betrayed, or upset.
