Maybe I should apply for a forum moderator post...

I was being informative, trying to inforce the rules of the forum before letting my opinion on the subject be known.

My apologies.

Why does everyone keep bringing up "policing policing"? What is wrong with my message?

It isnt you, it is these often times cocky little characters here who forget that they dont have the moderator's tag by their name and tend to give other people shit for "not following the rules" all the while they themselves are forgetting that they are breaking one that has been touched upon numerous times in the past. But dont worry, I am not going to point any fingers.

While I was married my husband was not a Satanist, he was an angry Catholic/Aethiest.

Does anyone else have the problem of being a satanist but your spouse is not.

Quote:

Do I have this problem? No.

Am I a Satanist that is married to a woman that it not? Yes.

If you are open and honest in your relationship, there should be no problem.

Did you think of this before you got married?

Eitherway what kind of marriage do you have if you have to ask complete strangers on how to approach one of the most important things that should have been dealt with before making a lifelong commitment to someone.

Personally, I wouldnt ever carry on a relationship with someone who was not a Satanist as its caused me nothing but headaches but thats just my experience, for others it has worked out fine.

In your case it seems that its finally time for you and your wife to see whether you "really" know and love each other or if your religion will drive a wedge between you. Besides, there is no need to force her of anything, you should have realised by now that Satanists are born and not made.

in any case, I dont think the Church of Satan encourages marriage to begin with.

You don't think, eh? What makes you think that?

Quote:

I wasnt going to post anything yet but, in some cases a person is married, years before they ever even know satanism exists. in that case, if you decide on a particular religion(any religion) and if your the kind of person who would only marry someone of the same religion,(if you decide to get married at all.) for religious reasons. then you would have quite a struggle with that. I do not personally have that problem. in any case, I dont think the Church of Satan encourages marriage to begin with.Im not married. I have no desire to get married.

“My parents and friends don’t understand me, and don’t approve of my interest in Satanism. How can I make them accept my beliefs, and where can I go to perform my rituals?”

Unfortunately, most young Satanists face this problem. Few of us are lucky enough to have sympathetic parents, or others around like ourselves. However, as long as you are living under your parents’ roof and they are feeding and taking care of you, you do owe them a degree of consideration. Offer to let them read your books, and talk about what misunderstandings they may have from T.V. talk shows and Christian propaganda. But you can’t force anyone to understand what, for you, is an obvious and magical revelation. If Satanism offends others who have necessary control over your life right now, do your studies and rituals in private. If you don’t have a place at home where you can be alone, find a special spot on the beach, in a field, or in the woods where you can ritualize when you need to. While you are understandably enthusiastic about your new-found religion, it is not very Satanic to make yourself miserable by creating a problem with your parents when you have to live in the same house together, or at school where your real goal may be to aggravate those in authority in the guise of “expressing your individuality.”

Practice Lesser Magic. Remember that a competent Satanic magician should be able to size up any situation and weigh his choices of action to bring about desired results. Enthusiasm is certainly encouraged and appreciated, however Satanism asks no one to be a martyr. And keep in mind that most people simply aren’t going to understand because, ultimately, they don’t want to. That is as it should be. Satanism is not for everyone. Satan, as depicted in myth and literature, by his very nature walks alone. He is therefore the embodiment of the true individualist, the outcast. This doesn’t mean that you cannot care about those who are close to you; Satan also represents love, kindness and respect to those who deserve it. It just means that you should not concern yourself with people who do not approve of you. Revel in your uniqueness; be proud of who and what you are. Achieve all you can with the strength and determination of Satan himself coursing proudly through your veins. When Satanism leads to positive changes in your accomplishments and attitude, your parents and other adults around you will notice. The best way you can represent Satanism, at any age, is by providing a living example of how the diabolical arts have made you a stronger, more focused, joyful person. The results will speak louder than any logical argument you can present.

Actually, all you have to do is say, "Hey Bob, meet my wife [name]."

You'll never catch me getting married in a chapel. But that doesn't mean I won't have a wife someday.

I could be wrong its possible that if you have sex with someone that you'll lust after them more and more and like them more than if you never did have sex with them.

So its really stupid to allow yourselve to get in the vulnerable position of liking someone because, they'll never know how you feel.

it goes against everything you wrote in your introductory post...

And here the user is supposed to ask, "What introductory post?"

You're assuming too much MinusXIII.

Hello MinusXIII, I know what I wrote didn't make much sense, thats not really a sentance I would have highlighted, I think now that you've mentioned it I'm going to go back and delete that statement. I just really am not married and I think I just wanted to emphsize that I am not married. I am not legally married, because I don't choose to be. That does not imply that Im dating tons of people, or even anyone at all right now. (on second thought, after rereading my paragraph, I'll leave the sentence in there because it was just a thought.)

If you want to have a sexual releationship, don't ruin it with marriage.

---

On topic, I agree that so long as there is no strife due to your personal choice, don't worry about it. I also agree that if this is a problem, you shouldn't be looking at getting married, as it will only present more and more problems. S/he wouldn't necessarily have to apply for a red card or call herself a Satanist, so long as you're both of like mind. If you aren't, I wouldn't waste my time.
