Not sure whether Shawn still holds this view, but the theologian George MacDonald wrote a remarkable essay on the subject titled Justice. I highly recommend it.

MacDonald argues that the fires of hell are purifying rather than punitive. Their purpose is to burn away sin and ultimately restore those in hell to a right relationship with God.

If you find a church community that supports you and your family and is a positive influence, I say join them. Maybe that means you keep some of your views private. It’s important, at least from my perspective, to be flexible on these things and not let doctrinal perspectives come between you and your wife.

Live in harmony with her and fulfill her needs. You can find your spiritual outlet somewhere else.
