You’ve found someone you connect with on almost every level—but then he shares that he doesn’t believe in God. It can feel like a shock, especially if faith is an essential part of your life. Remember, it’s okay to feel conflicted. Our beliefs often shape how we see the world, influence our values, and guide our life decisions. Deciding to continue or pause the relationship is ultimately about respecting your own values and what you need in a partnership.
If faith is something you want to share deeply with a partner, honoring that is a valid and important choice. A relationship is about alignment in the things that matter most to you. Staying true to yourself will lead you to a partnership that feels right for both your heart and beliefs.
