We have been married 5 years and have two small children. We were both raised in devout Christian families and I was one when we got married, which is one of the main things that attracted her to me. But I am very scientific minded, and over the past couple years as I have examined the faith I just don't believe in it anymore. My beliefs have leaned closest to agnostic. I can put on the facade in front of our families but can't in front of her. My morals and values have not changed at all but she has developed a deep resentment of me as we don't share the same beliefs anymore. She is also afraid of our children going to hell without my leadership. There is not much of a marriage left anymore. Now I'm not looking to discuss who's belief is correct but need advice on handling the marriage.
1) Has anyone else been in a similar situation and can you share your story?
2) Is it possible to make such a marriage work? And how to deal with in-laws who will surely shun me when they find out?
3) If divorce is the only option, am I stuck with losing both of the kids and a huge financial hit? It would devastate me to be the dad my kids only see every now and then, and honestly if it was up to me, I want to move far away from this town.

Put the internet to work for you.
