Mr.C, a 34-year-old professional, is all about living freely. He loves to travel and is into sports, showcasing an active vibe. Plus, he’s an atheist, not tied down by religious beliefs.
Tall, with a great look, capable, and financially secure, Mr.C has always been popular with the ladies, and yes, he’s totally aware of it. After enjoying his freedom, he’s now on the lookout for someone to settle down with.
One day at a gathering he stumbled into a woman who seemed to be his ideal match. She was 29, with long, flowing hair, fair skin, and a glamorous figure. Not only was she well-educated and competent, but she was also gentle and feminine.
Struck by love at first sight, Mr.C made his move. They clicked and started dating, quickly falling into passionate love and getting married within a few months.
While dating, they connected well and shared similar hobbies and tastes. However, things started to change after marriage. The turning point was when his wife suggested Mr.C participate in religious activities with her.
Mr.C knew about his wife’s religion during their courtship and thought he could understand it after marriage.
But it turned out his wife and her family were deeply religious from birth. He tried to participate a few times at her insistence, only to reaffirm his lack of religious inclination.
Despite this, his wife didn’t give up, leading to more fights and arguments. Their relationship fell down the deep end, and now they’re considering divorce.
Religion is one of the most common issues in marriage. While personality or financial issues are often highlighted during a divorce, religion also plays a significant role.
Before marriage, the difference in religion might not seem like an immediate problem, leading to an optimistic outlook. However, upon marriage, it becomes a real-life issue. Religion isn’t a preference rather it’s a belief and way of living that’s hard to change. This is true everywhere, which is why religious issues have historically led to ongoing conflicts and even wars.
