I want to convert to Judaism but my husband doesn't - does this mean I won't be allowed to convert?

A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been carefully considering converting to Judaism for a few years now and believe it's what I really want. That's not the issue though; the problem is, I'm married and my husband isn't Jewish. I know that a Jewish person isn't meant to marry a non-Jewish person; does this apply if I'm already married? I have no idea if in order to do this, my husband would have to too! Any advice is much appreciated.

Dear:

Wanting to convert to Judaism. If you believe that the Bible is the word of God, then you also must believe that Jesus Christ,as set forth in that same Bible. Is the Son of God, and co-equal with His Father.Here is what Jesus has to say to you, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through me". Judaism dosen't believe that Jesus is the Son of God.? Do you really want to become a part of a religion that denys Jesus Christ who is alao God

Frank B Kermit agony auntTalk to a Rabbi...my question is why after being married, would you NOW decide to convert religion, and change your life? What are you looking for that you think this religious change will fulfill? Don't get me wrong, I think the Jewish religion is as good as the next religion, however, you have been thinking about this for years, and it might mean that your entire life, including your marriage might be affected to the point of needing a divorce?, and that is OK with you?
