just the basics

My husband is thinking of becoming a Mason. I was raised in a very Christian environment and was told by my Mom that Freemasons were basically an anti-Christian cult. I now know this not to be true.
Im a very old fashioned girl and I fully understand that God is first then self, spouse, family, friends. I understand this is a men-only organization to better one's self and to help "brothers" and those in need. I'm completely fine with that. I understand I will not be told all the rituals, secrets, hand shakes, etc. because the man has made an oath not to do so, and would then go against one reason why he joined,to keep promises. And I'm fine with that as well. I do not find it degrading that I as a female cannot join. Guys need guy-time and girls need girl-time.
I've read through the "sad wives" part of this site and I've made peace with those women's concerns/issues. Our one major concern is that should my husband join, and should he find that Freemasonry is not for our family, would he be able to quit?
