Joel Madden wants girlfriend Nicole Richie to turn towards spirituality before they tie the knot.

The Good Charlotte rocker has been holding of his marriage until Nicole Richie seeks God and has beliefs that match Joel’s Christian views.

A source close to Joel says, “Joel is determined not to marry Nicole until she asks forgiveness for her sins and is willing to raise little Harlow with the same religious upbringing that he had. Joel may look like a rebel, but the truth is he is an old-fashioned conservative guy with hardcore Christian beliefs.”

“The bible is a big part of his life — so much so that he has a tattoo of Jesus and a Sacred Heart on his arms.”

“Joel went to church regularly as a kid and he believes that God has made him what he is today.”

“He has seen all the problems that spoiled Hollywood children like Nicole encountered, and is determined to prevent Harlow from being the stereotypical Beverly Hills brat.”

Apparently Nicole has transformed from a druggy-rehaby baby to a responsible mother and credits her spirituality for the change.

The source reveals,” It looks like Nicole is on the way to fully embracing Joel’s religious beliefs.”

“She knows how great her life has become thanks to him.”

The 26-year-old new mother is reportedly finding it hard to cope up with her new motherhood and “Joel thinks God will be the ultimate answer to her problems.”

“As much as Joel loves Nicole, and is dedicated to being her rock, he feels like their marriage would never work unless they are on the same page with their religious beliefs.”

“Bottom line, he wants a Christian family,” adds the source.

So do we soon see Nicole Richie with Jesus and Sacred Heart tattoos on her arms to match Joel Madden’s physical spirituality too?
