I am not sure where to start, but I am beginning to feel like I am married to an unbeliever. I love my husband, but I can't yoke myself to the lies that he believes, and I am deeply concerned for his soul. I have been thinking recently that if it were financially possible, that maybe we need to separate for awhile. I don't want to, but I trust nothing about my husband's heart, and I don't think he even knows his heart or what he wants. I guess I am asking for prayer.

Hi Hisheart,
I have prayed.
Adultery, in which some would include pornography use, is the only biblical allowance for separation/divorce. *The Bible does not mention physical abuse, but many consider that acceptable grounds as well.)
While we are not to go in to marriage being unequally yoked with an unbeliever, once it is done, even if we find out later that an appearance of belief was not sincere, we are instructed to stay married, attempting to show them Christ in quiet humility, unless the unbeliever initiates divorce. I would urge you to speak with your pastor.

Have you asked him? Have you opened the dialog of conversation between your husband and yourself? You mush tell him how strongly you feel and ask him where he stands. He might be questioning things and sounds uncertain. You might be able to help him know GOD by showing him.
I see this a a great opportunity for you to share the word with the one you love the most.
Don't push away and take the easy way out by separating. Listen to what his thoughts are and reply with the word of GOD. He can answer all questions and if you can't find an answer ask your pastor.
Sounds to me he's searching.
Help him find what he seeks.
Good luck, and smile.
