Can it work when one person in a relationship is a christian and one isnt? I know the bible says the unsaved one will be saved through the one who is saved, because if they werent the children wouldnt be holy, which is unheard, because children are. But, it also says if the unbeliever wants to leave let them. So, realistically will it work?

Religion may be in some aspect greatly affects a relationship but it is not a major aspect of it. The foundation of a relationship is love so if you love one another and has great respect to each other it will work. Personally, I myself doesn't really believe in the bible because it has many loopholes.

I do believe, Stacyv, that if the unsaved one wants to stay then we shouldn't put them out. It says the fervant prayer of the rigtheous avails much. And that the children will be made holy by the rigtheous partner.
So we please Father God by our faith and love conquers all. Peace be still.

I don't know .. I am not a Christian (or any other religion), but my boyfriend is, so this definitely pertains to us.

I think this will work only if the involved couple will respect the belief of one another. though in this kind of relationship the one that will suffer most are the children because they will be confuse as to who they must follow and believe in.

If one influences the other, it will work. If the differences prevail over time, there is no good hope that holds for it. The two must meet on a common ground, and the common ground is either that they embrace hers or that they'd be united in his. There's no other way that the relationship can work.

I am an Atheist and so is my hubby. We wouldn't be together if either of us believed in a god. I just don't look the same way at religious people as I do people of the same mind set as me. Not to say it can't work just that relationships are hard enough without the added stress of trying to "save" someone who doesn't want to be "saved".

no clue
I'm not Christian
I think if Christian people do bad things, sometimes prayers and confessions won't even help
