Basing self-worth on being a "good person" can create pressure, guilt, and inner conflict when others impose expectations.
When I met my husband eight years ago, I knew he was churchy, but as a low-church Protestant, I thought this wouldn't be a problem. Outside church, I am comfortable with our religious differences. I sort of believe in God, and find immense spirituality in nature, but think Christ was simply a good man, whereas my husband believes it. He respects my beliefs and has never imposed his on me.
