should i really take consider religion between us?

according to the Word of God we r not to be unequally yoked together. 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbeleivers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" a christain should only date another christian that is of the same faith as u r. and should not marry someone unless they r born again christians & of the same faith. because, beleive me. if u don't heed to the living Word of God, u will suffer. especially when the children come along. one parent will want them raised one way & the other parent the other way. God's word is true & everyman a liar: Psalm 116: 11, " I said in my haste, All men are liars." if we do not obey the Word of God we will suffer the onquences. the choice is ours. beleive me dear, u marry who u date. get in the Bible & search out what it has to say about marriage. ask God to send u the mate that He wants u to have, then u have a chance of a sucessful marriage. it is wonderful to be married to someone that is genuinely saved & serving God with all of their heart, going to church together & worshiping God together, praying together, it is awsome!!!!!!!!!!! having a home with God as the Head of it is God's plan. it is up to us to follow it.

I met my husband years ago also and we started out as friends. He really did not claim a religion even though he was raised in a somwhat religious environment. He took on my religion before we got married. It worked out.

before this relations progresses any further, I think you should discuss the topic of religion between both of you. At least I believe that religion is an integral part of our identity and culture and most people are either loathe to change their religion post marriage or they want their spouse to convert to their own religion. Harmonious relation after marriage would depend a lot on what you both choose…whether to remain in your own religion or to convert to your spouse’s religion. Be clear on this point before you plunge into romanticism.

Biblically speaking it would be deemed sinful to pursue this type of relationship. Realistically speaking if you both have significantly different viewpoints a romantic relationship would probably not work out. The media and movies tend to portray "good" relationships as being two individuals with opposite views and enjoyments coming together to "complete" each other. In the real world this is not how things tend to work. We find people who are similar to us. Not necessarily in every way, but as a whole. It is how a relationship can function. Its common ground. Continuing on in terms of realism, you would have to see how different he is relative to your view. Is he an atheist/agnostic, but open to religion? Does he hate your deity or just not believe in it? To a degree different beliefs and religions can coexist in terms of a relationship, but so many views are going to be different. Even examining sexuality (as it is part of a romantic relationship) you both may have different opinions and likewise needs that need fulfilling. If your only open to a few things, its not really fair to take away every thing he would be interested in on account of your religious beliefs. The truth is your religion is a big part of your life (or should be). It really defines the core of your beliefs and what not. If you don't consider your religious perspective, then what are you considering at all? Nothing else really matters. Politics? It doesn't really matter, especially if you don't consider your religion (because politics and religion go hand in hand these days). What your left with is simple and relatively useless things to define your relationship, like hobbies. It would be like, "I play basketball, he doesn't; should I take this into consideration?" It just has no meaning when it comes to determining who you want to be with. Personal beliefs do have a meaning, because they (should) govern your life in many ways. I mean, the Bible is a compilation of laws and ways to live. If you disregard its perspective, than your not really living up to calling yourself a Christian by any means.
