Mixed faith marriage

Mixed faith marriage. Faith transition. Interfaith marriage.

You are devastated. Your partner is having a crisis of faith questioning their religious beliefs.

How will their crisis of faith affect your relationship?

Your relationship was built on having a mutual faith, the same religion, and similar beliefs. But now? You feel lost, and don’t know what to do. You feel so alone. Every time you try and talk to your partner, it ends in misunderstandings and hurt feelings for both of you. You feel like if you don’t leave the church with them, they will lump you in the same category. THEM. The believers. The NON believers.

You are afraid to talk to your friends and family about it. You are afraid that they will judge your partner, and tell you to leave them. After all, this isn’t what you signed up for. Is it?

But you can’t ignore that although they are questioning their beliefs about God, that doesn’t change who they fundamentally are as a person. As a partner. As a parent.

You want to find a therapist that understands the cultural context, and understands why this is so devastating for BOTH of you!

You worry that the therapist will be biased. That the therapist will try and convince you it’s not a big deal that your partner is experiencing a crisis of faith. Or they will try and convince your partner that their questions and concerns about their beliefs aren’t legitimate.You worry that your partner won’t want to go to therapy, but you don’t know if your marriage can survive without it.

LDS therapist Frisco

My name is Marina Stanton

I understand your fears and concerns because I’ve been there.

My husband had a faith crisis and left our church several years ago, and I have remained an active believer.

I understand how difficult this faith transition is from BOTH of your perspectives, but I know that you can come out the other side. After 16 years of marriage, our relationship is stronger than ever.

In therapy, my focus will be to help you navigate the concerns common with this transition. Church attendance. Individual and family prayers. How your beliefs will impact your parenting decisions.

I will help you navigate this transition, whether you are from a Christian religion or navigating an interfaith marriage.

In therapy you will be able to discuss your concerns in a safe environment. We'll work together weekly to help you feel supported and help you both feel more secure in your relationship. You’ll have homework assignments to help augment the time we are spending in therapy so you can get where you are going quickly. I know you need and want things to get on track as quickly as possible.

I love working with couples throughout Texas via telehealth and in person in Frisco, who are motivated and ready to move from frustration, disconnection, and miscommunication into empathy, connection and hope for the future!
