Do you think religion will affect relationship?

Religion or the lack thereof will affect a relationship. Even one who think their religion is unimportant when they are young is likely to change later.

For me I have different view with this matter. Because I prefer to marry a woman that we are in the same religion. This is one of my principles in life...my belief is that if you are in the same religion you know each other and you sure he/she is trusted because he/she have good relationship with God...

There are times when one of the parteners converts to the other's belief, there are times when both plan from the start to wich religion will the kid embrace, even when each keeps their own religion, and there are times when such couples become outcasts and rejected by the society... So I think such marriages require more plans and thought then normal ones, but are more and more common these days, and most seem to work out.

Why do people always make divisions??? All these denomanations are man made. The family should seek out the teachings of the Bible. Not of the churches. Study the scriptures. Seek the truth.

That's a hard one to answer because on one side if you truly love someone enough then you should be willing to do anything to be with them but on the other side you need to stand up for what you believe in. So I guess it would all depend on what religion you were in and how faithful you were to it. But despite your religion I think that we should all really analyze how much we love and care for each other before we rush into breaking each other's hearts and end up regretting it.

It depends on the two people concerned. How understanding are they of their different religeons and the right to worship the diety you believe in. If even before marriage the two concerned are arguing about religion, then you have to be careful, becoz you can be sure they will definitely be arguing about it after marriage. As for children, the parents should come to an understanding before the children are born. I know of couples who decide and agree that the children should follow either the mothers' or fathers religion; mostly the mothers' since its the mother who's mostly with the children when they are very young. I also know of parents who have decided that if its a boy, he should follow the fathers religion and if its a girl, she will follow the mothers religion. One should not be blind just because you are in love.

that's would be problem on your later together life with the different religion if you can't get a common idea about something. i'd like to live with someone who have the same religion and belief with me so we can do almost everthing togher without any argurement.

I wouldn't marry someone who wasn't of the same religion. There would be too many contradictory beliefs, and I wouldn't want any children I might have to be confused as to what they should and shouldn't believe. Mixed marriage is a big no-no for me.

It's a complicated marriage to have two conflicting religion. It would take maturity and great love to reconcile or compromise the issue of religion. If love is that strong I would probably go for it. I believe love conquers all.

It all depends on yourself. Do you want o live by your faith ? If yes, then maybe there shall be different norms between you and your partner. For instance, Christian believe in 1 partner but moslems allow 4 wives. And then what about both of your big families ? If they leave you alone with your choice, it's ok, but if not, there maybe trouble later in life. In Indonesia, this problem is non-stop. Even if the couple didn't mind, sometimes it's their aunts and uncles who create the problems.

Hi. I'm glad that I've never been into this situation. I could not imagine my family going their separate ways at church service time because the mother and father of the family have different religion. I believe this would cause confusion to the children as well. Personally, I believe that religion would significantly affect any love and family relationships.

I think so. Marrying someone of different religion is okay since you have somehow dealt with it before you decide to get married. But sharing these religious beliefs with your children wouldn't be easy, they will be confused of the opposing practices and of which is better to be followed. Some are really strict to their faith, even to the kind of food they should not eat. Some couples sacrifice, one converts to the other religion out of love for his or her partner.

I don't mind to married with someone wich is other religion that mine.... If i love her is no problem for me...But in the world are som religions that are stricted...adn they alow marriage only with person of the same religion

in my opinion, i think i wouldn't care if i would like to marry someone from another religion. the problem would be that the culture and beliefs in the relationship and of course the in-laws. that would be the problem. people would not approve of your relationship. if you are meant for each other then you two would come two would come to terms.

I am not sure it really depends on the people involved. I know sometimes its said to never do that. Marry people who are unequally yolked. Or that carry a different belief than you. I think things work better if you do have the same religion. Or at least if the beliefs are very similar so that they don't collide with what each persons goals and aspirations are.

If two people have decided to marry, isn't it a given that they will have discussed issues like this and others? Would they not tell each other where they stand with their religion and how each other of them fit into the scheme of things? In fact, would they not have made plans regarding children and when to have them and how they will be raised. Certainly it's a wonderful thing to be in love and to want to marry but I think couples don't discuss issues and make plans before marriage and when their expectations are not being met problems arise. I think if either both or one persons in the relationship are religious then of course there must be some understanding reached. Taking things for granted only leads to problems down the road.

i dont think that differnt religion will affect relationship.even we have same religon,but i still talk about it with them.i think that everybody have his owned mind,so their way of expression is differnt.it is not regard with love.if i love someone who have different religion with me.i pay attention to his character and his moral,not religion quetion.

I don't know but well maybe it depends on the both person. But for me I am very loyal with my religion and no plan in shifting another religion. And for instance I am still single and fell in love in a guy with different religion we should have to discuss about our situation and have to deal something so that in a long run it wont create a problem.

I think if you love someone that should not be a issue. I know about this situation. I could not even get married in my own church because I was saved and my husband was not. I do respect my church though for standing up for what they believe in withour changing their views because my dad is a long time friend of the church and even taught a class that my pastor had in college. My husband got more upset then me but that is because he does not understand the scripture in this essence. It all went down beautifully though. I got married in another church in which alot of members from my church attended and even the pastor. So it was all good. I was even strict on a few things myself at the time I went forward in church I was living with my current husband. The pastor asked me about joining the church to become a member. I told him I did not want to join and get baptized until I was married to my now husband. He really respected me for that and told me so. Again I did not want to put anyone in a awkward position. I went before the church in January and got baptized in march after my wedding in February.

I think that it shouldn't matter if you love each other. I don't mind different beliefs but it is easier for me to say that because I don't subscribe to any particular denomination. Religion is very complicated so if you are both religious but differently so, you have to find a comprimise before you decide before marriage.
