More on Surviving A Spiritual Mismatch In Marriage:
One of the most popular topics in Lee Strobels book Inside the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Mary was the chapter about the marriage setting when an unbelieving spouse is married to a believer. This book expands and builds upon the themes in that chapter and focuses on understanding your unchurched spouse and learning how to live out your faith authentically in front of him or her. Lee, an atheist for the first years of his marriage to Leslie, has a unique corner on what drives the non-Christian in a marriage to be the way he or she is. The Strobels use their own story for illustration purposes, but they also have interviewed many couples who were or are in this situation. Half of the books ten chapters are from Leslies perspective and half are from Lees. In addition, the Strobels also deal with the marriage settings in which one spouse is more spiritually mature or in which spouses are of different faith backgrounds (e. g., Christian-Jewish marriages).

Description of Lee Strobel, author of Surviving A Spiritual Mismatch In Marriage:
Someone came between Lee and Leslie Strobel, threatening to shipwreck their marriage. No, it wasn't an old flame. It was Jesus Christ. Leslie's decision to become a follower of Jesus brought heated opposition from her skeptical husband. They began to experience conflict over a variety of issues, from finances to child-rearing. But over time Leslie learned how to survive a spiritual mismatch. Today they're both Christians--and they want you to know that there is hope if you're a Christian married to a nonbeliever. In their intensely personal and practical book, they reveal surprising insights into the thinking of non-Christian spouses, a dozen steps toward making the most of your mismatched marriage, nine principles for reaching out to your partner with the gospel and advice on raising children in a spiritually mismatched home. Abridged. 2 cassettes. Read by the authors. 2 hours.
