Some good advice, though Pixeled would have to become a Muslim for that marriage to be valid, as otherwise a Muslim man's marriage to an agnostic is not valid.
Pixeled, you said you were Catholic before. I don't know how much you know about the concept of God in Islam. As you can probably see from my avatar in the blue, the foundation of Islam the Oneness of God, which is called Tawheed in Arabic.
Just as if you walked into a room and saw a dining table and chair set, you'd know that someone had made it, and that the pieces of wood didn't saw themselves off the trees, cut themselves in the right shape and screw themselves together, so we know from all the signs we see around us, that this complex and intricate universe has a Creator, who also created us.
He is the One God. He alone should be worshipped. He is our Creator, Sustainer, and Lord.
He does not beget, nor is He begotten. He has no sons, daughters, spouses, siblings, parents, cousins, or relatives of any sort.
He is eternal and does not die. He does not depend on anyone/anything yet we all depend on Him. He is free of all want and need.
There is nothing like Him. He is all Hearing, all Seeing, all Knowing, all Powerful, Incomparable, the Creator of the Universe.
He did not/does not, become flesh, dwell in human or animal bodies, nor are there any incarnations of Him. He is not mixed up in His creation in any way.
He is not composed of persons, nor a trinity. There are no secondary, lesser, greater, equal, or multiple gods, nor any intermediaries. And no denying of God's existence either.
There are no sharers, associates, persons or parts whatsoever in His exclusive Divinity. Simply, He is One, in every sense.
The proper name of God in Arabic is Allah.
We do believe in Jesus (peace be on him). Muslims love and respect Jesus (peace be upon him) and believe in him as he was; one of the noblest and purest of humanity to ever walk the earth, and one of the greatest messengers of Allah, sent to the Children of Israel. We do not reject him (as Jews do), nor do we deify him (as Christians do). Neither he, nor any other messenger, ever claimed divinity, or to be God's son. We believe he was born miraculously of the noble virgin Mary (peace be on her), and that he is the messiah. We do not however, believe that he died or was crucified. He'll return to earth near the end of time.
We do not worship to or through, Jesus, Mary (peace on them both), or a whole plethora of saints, and to do so is the gravest sin. We pray to God directly. We also do not believe in dam-nation requiring a saviour.
How does that feel to you? If you have an anything that doesn't sit right with you, could you let us know, so we can help? I'll leave it there for now so as not to overwhelm you.
Peace.
