does religion matter when it comes to relationship?

Well it depends, depending on what you agreed with, but in my opinion, religion don't matter as long as you are in love with your partner. Its a matter of choice actually, why not live together even with different religion? It doesn't matter if both partner have different religion as long as they believe that there is GOD, then that's enough... Just fall in love to the fullest and be happy, ok mylotter?... ^_^

My partner is an atheist, he does not believe. I was married to a Christian, and had met lots of Christian men. I never seemed to get along with them. At least not in a long term relationship I mean. The man I know now, is honest and really loves to help people. He does the things we Christians are suppose to do. Only he does it from the heart. So, for me, no problem. I will however, and cannot, give up what I beleive. Nor should anyone else. Respect each other the way they are. Even if the religion is different. But don't change religion for a relationship. Religion is a believing, you cannot just turn it on and off. You either beleive in what you are, or you've been dishonest to yourself the whole time. I believe when two people love each other, they should be able to cop with each others needs, not change them. Take care, have a nice weekend.

They say its important but to me I don't want to be converted into any other religion. I am cathoilc but I don't go to church anymore

religion matters a lot in any relationship.in the begining a boy or girl feel that they can adopt the other's religion.but as they progress in their lives it stands up to create rifts between them.since the birth till we marry, we are used to the traditions parents follow.after marriage if the traditions change, if they have to follow new things, it goes against the deep rooted beliefs.slowly resentment sets in.thay why way back our elders used to marry people from similar backgrounds, with same eating habits,same religion and status in society.these days they have disregarded every bit of those old methods with a misguided concept of they know better.just by knowing each other for a few days or a couple of years they think they understood each other inside out so they can live happyly ever after.not true.not possible.any way nobody is going to listen to other's cautionings words.they want find it out in a painful way.

I'd rather not change if I can help it. I'd fight to keep it any way I can. I don't see the reason to be forced to change something that is part of one's identity. But I do believe two people can love and live together peacefully with both holding on to their own religions. Although, I can see where it can be a problem to some. When they have a family, then the issue would be how to raise them. Which religion would either choose to raise their kids. Although there is the option of raising the kids to adapt both religion, there is always the fact that it can be confusing to the child and also the child would lean on one religion more than the other.

I personally wouldn't give up my religion and get converted to another religion for someone who I love. My theory is that if they truly love me, they'll be able to accept me for who I am. I have dated someone with another religion from mine. However, religion was never something that we talked about because we didn't see a point in arguing about it.

My wife and I are from the same religion, only different belief (sounds weird, but true...). I don't really believe what religious people do - god, holy commands and stuff like that. My wife is very religious. We get along, because we love each other, but anyone looking at us as an outsider would thing we have different religions. I won't replace my religion, as I don't think it has any meaning. It was just my "luck" to be born to it...

I think that in some cases, religion does matter for some people. But I don't think it does for a lot of people. However, for the people you really love, I believe that most of us, to say the least, are willing to give up their religion for the one they love. I know that, had religion been a huge issue between my fiance and myself, I would have given up my religion for him.

love has no boundaries.. so it doesn't matter if you do have different religion what matters most is how you love each other and your happy about it.. even though that it you and and your love against the world.. nothing can stop if love will join the game..

I remember when I first fell in love with a muslim. And I actually thought about wanting to be with him forever that I would actually change my religion for him. So I suppose I would change my religion for someone I love.. However, I've found some one else now, So no need to change religions any more, hehe

Yes it definitely matters especially when you are above 18 and really looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with. I can see how for some non-religious people it doesnt matter but When i found the girl i was sure to spend the rest of my life with, and we had an argument about religion. I was gonna break up with her. The whole thing eneded up being a misunderstanding but i was really gonna do it. Besides WTF is love with God? just an emotion? or is it a spiritual connection between two people that were brought to get coincidentally on purpose (oxymoron I know)
