That is a complicated question really, but if you had irreconcilable differences because of your beliefs I'd say yes. The JW's do not believe the same things we do, and that is a very important thing when trying to be of one mind as a married couple. I don't really see how it could work out in that situation unless one of you converted, and if you KNOW the truth then that would be impossible for you to do, and if he refuses to leave then what? It's a very hard thing to face that what you've been raised to believe if false, that's one reason I thank God for personally, that I was born to no religion instead of being raised to follow a false one. I know so very little about the situation, but I can honestly say I don't think it could ever work out without a major change in the belief system of one or the other. I would have to say a change in the JW would have to happen to ensure God blesses you two, but I know what the Watchtower Society teaches, so I know it's not truth and the foundation has to be built on truth. Only God can tell you if you've done the right thing, but this is my perspective on the situation with my limited knowledge on the topic. I will pray God guide you and comfort you in this time of confusion.

It says that we are not to yoke with unbelievers. It's referring to relationships whether it be dating, marriage, business partnerships, close friendships/buddies, any relationship that ties you with another who is an unbeliever. It explains in that Scripture that we are to "come out from among them and be separate."
We are called to love the unbeliever as Jesus did by being an example, by living in a godly way as a light to them, and we are to pray for them. But yoke ourselves to them we are told explicitly not to do.
I praise God for giving you wisdom in separating from that unbelieving man, that you have separated yourself to Jesus Christ. Glory to God! \
/ And I pray for that man, that the Lord would open the eyes of his heart to repent and be saved. Only God can call him and save him, but we can pray for him.
