How can having different religious values can impact my marriage?

Religious Beliefs That Match

I was brought up in a really religious family where family and values were important and I felt I should hold them to my heart. Once married I realized my spouse was the complete opposite of this. For example, we didn't agree on how to bring up our son. Make sure that your spouse has the same background in religion, otherwise this will bring problems in your marriage, and with your family and extended family.

I'm struggling with the same issue right now. The only difference is, we're not married yet. He has no religious belief and I do. I couldn't imagine my life w/out faith and God. He's willing to (after several remarks about not bending on this decision) now allow kids to be baptized just b/c it will make me happy. I'm struggling with continuing the relationship b/c he's changing who he is and what he's believed in (or rather not believed in) just to make me happy, instead of changing for himself. He thinks it will work, but I foresee resentment and serious problems...I hope I make the right decision.
