How to stay in marriage forever?

I have been married for nearly 6 years now, not in a very good position to give advices on how to stay married. But I can relate on your problem with religion because my husband and I have different religion as well. He is a Christian and I am a Roman Catholic. We were married under the UCCP church. I didn't insist on getting married in the Catholic church because I am not really a devout Catholic, and we also cannot have a garden wedding if we want a Catholic ceremony. During our 1st year, we were attending the Catholic mass. I didn't know he was doing it for me. Then, we just stopped going to Church. On our 3rd year I think, we went to his church and I was even water baptized. This, I did it for him, too. I still kept my belief but I just went to church with him to preserve our togetherness. ON our 5th year, we became churchless! LOL. It's kinda long story. But todate, we're still looking a church to go. Anyway, I do believe that religion is an important part of the marriage. It's one of the foundatin of our personality. Now I think one of you has to really give in. What are your religions? Is it really very different from the other? When I was water baptized, I was thinking that the religion doesn't matter cause we only have the same God. That's why I told myself that I'm doing it for my husband. Come to think of it, my aunt who was a Roman Catholic also was converted to Islam when she met her husband. One should really make a sacrifice to make a marriage work. What matters in the eyes of God is how we love Him and the people around us.

i've been married for 4 years now and i proud to say that my married life is still in its perfect nature.Though i and my husband had a fight too but we still manage to settle it, talked about it and find a solution to our problems. There is no such thing as to perfect marriage. But what is important is a good conversation to both of u.In everyhting you do and what ever problems u may encountered let ur decision be not founded by feelings alone (for feelings vary from time to time ) but instead let if be founded by commitment and u stick to your vows.Make it your motivation to go on and stay strong together. Not only for both of you but for your baby also.In that case i think your in the right track!

Well, a secret to a long lasting marriage is to understand each other differences especially when especially comes to religion. One has to sacrifice for the other but understanding is a must any relationship.

I am married 30 years. You must learn to communicate your differences, not fight about them. Never say something you will be sorry for, as you cannot take it back. Never get violent by pushing or hitting or threatning. And, learn to compremise. Good luck and God bless you.

first of all, there is no physical marriage that lasts forever. but all i can say is, a marriage as long as you two live in this physical world. regarding your difference in religion, i suppose you two have talked about it already before settling for a marriage. that is a hard situation, especially for your kids you know. you two need to talk and think about your generation's future. you don't want kids with confused minds and worse your family would end up separated. talk about it as soon as possible.

i think this will be depending on both you as a couple on how much you love each other and fill up all the shortcomings of each other, It shows more of your bond , trust and of course the greatest love that nobody could not break. Maybe it has something to do also with great respect.

Stay in marriage forever is impossible but to stay together until the end of life is possible! I guess,to stay together until the end of life is getting easy,if we know each other and try to believe our partner as what we believe in ourselves.Do not put your jealousy label at the high point.It is a trapped!Just put your label at middle only.At last,always pray to the God to give a very happy relationship until the end of our life! Try it and you'll no the truth!

I think it is the sention of responsibily in addition to mutual love.as we all know,love maybe fade after a long period of life together,then it is the responsibily that combinds you two together in the rest life.do you think so?

i guess you need to try to understand each other and to don't push the differences beetween you.or just try to don't be always the one who is right,don't make the fight beetween religions becam a fight beetween you two.you need love,respect and much patience each to other so you can pass to the differences.and about baby's religion,that's an important problem that you should discuss a lot both together without screaming.anyway the child should grow knowing the both of them and should have the posibility to choose when he'll be older

Befor involving into the relationship both partner must discuss about their religion, its a very important issue to tackle with before getting married. For me i dont like to love a man with different religion like mine, at first we can survived but how about when we already have children when or what religion we are going to encourage them? Or about the baptismal. Since you are in that situation already well just have trust and respect in each others decision when it comes to religion, you can go to your church and she can attend hers to, but what if an idea of sometimes invite you wife to visit your church and likewise you to to her church? I think there is no wrong in doing that if you really love each other you have to respect each others decision. For your child well what if on your first child let it be your religion follow by your child and for the second child let it be your wife's religion to follow. Well you can survive that just have respect each others religion and discuss the problem together in a very good way of discussion. Let be love for both of you always on top not the pride of each other. Good luck for your married life.

Hi, the formula is do unto her as you would have her do unto you. In other words, meet half way, understand her view point, respect her, respect her religion, respect her feelings. You will be doubly rewarded, if you are patient. The best way to nurture a cross-religion marriage is to give the child both exposures, and after a while, begin giving him options, explaining the pros and cons. As an adult let your child make his choice f religion, inthe meantime celbrate both religious festivals, and see the domestic front flowering!
