Unequally Yoked?
As of this writing, I am married with 3 kids. My wife is a devout fundamentalist (apostolic Pentecostal). She knows about my status but she just sees it as me being backslid and going through a phase. I get a lot of prayer, let me tell ya. She wants a strong christian family and believing the way do now definitely jeopardizes that.
My question is, Is there anyone else on here with a similar status?
I know it will never work, especially with how passionate she is about this. I've been with her for almost 20 years, married 15. I love her to death. But what's the saddest to me, is if I ask her to choose, I know what she would do.

Why would she need to choose ? All she needs to do is accept your beliefs, as you have so far accepted hers. 20yrs, love, and three kids is not something to casually toss away.
Though if her attitude has been steadily intensifying , the issue could loom large and blow things apart. Time for a heart-to-heart discussion, perhaps with some good counseling included !

OTOH, in I Cor 7, Paul advises (but doesn't command) believers to stay with nonbelieving spouses. So there's a case to be made for that from their book, too.
