Will you change your religion if your lover ask this to you?

First off, I'd be sure that the man I marry is already Catholic. That solves the problem right there. Hypothetically speaking, however, no, I wouldn't change my religion for anyone. This is one of the rare times when I say that it's either my way or the highway, and if a man can't handle that, then I want nothing to do with him.

i will never change my religion for anybody...i love my religion whatever it may be...and if anyone will love me she should accept me with my religion...i can not say strongly whether my wife will belong to be from the same religion or not because no one can say what happen in future ...but i am not going to change my identity...

No. I think that it's very disrespectful to ask someone to do that. I figure if you like me enough to marry me, you realize I'm an entire package and you don't get to just pick the parts you like. Human beings don't work that way.

No, I wouldn't and I don't think it's right to do so. You should only convert to a religion if you believe in it. There's nothing wrong with taking instruction in the other person's religion and finding out though.

When I dated seriously I would take religion into consideration. Luckily pretty much everyone I dated was a similar denomination Christian as I am. My husband and I have very similar beliefs and were able to agree on a church. I don't think I'd be able to "change religions" for someone because that would require me to change my beliefs and that's not something that I want to do.

Hello Marianna, My ex husband was an Atheist and I respected this. Im Catholic and we got married in a court of law. My priest used to tell me that if it didnt work out with him, I could always get married in Church!! I wouldnt ask anyone to change religion for me. I have NO right to do so. Religion is private and I would respect someone I love too much to have them change. I would expect the same respect back. If not. I wouldnt marry someone who would ask me to change my religion for him. No way. If he can disrespect me for religion, he will for other things as well. Its not a good start either way.

No, I will not change my religion for anyone. Religion can't just be changed like a pair of shoes. My husband did not change his religion for me either. Religion is too personal to change just because of another person.

if i had a religion that i practiced and believed in strongly, then no. however, i don't. therefore, i say i would change my religion to his. i only say this because he doesn't follow any religion faithfully either. just like most people, he was brought up one way, but not practicing anything now. he also wouldn't intentionally lead us into anything crazy or bad. if he got us into a religion that didn't go with the things we BOTH already believe inside ourselves, . for instance, sometimes there are strange cults. he would automatically suggest we remove ourselves from it...waaaay early in the game. he's a good person, so i would see what was up with him. he also wouldn't pressure me, or stop loving me because i wouldn't. this is not what his personality is like.

No. Thats one thing that needs to be discussed right off. If the two religions are not compatible there are going to be too many arguments over it and children might never happen because of it! Seriously, though, a religion is something you believe in and your boyfriend or girlfriend should never attempt to try to change something like that. If the two religions are similar enough, teach the children a mixture of both and let them choose which one they like better.

religion has nothing to do with love/family. Actually I don't have any special religion now.

I would not change my religion if I were in such a situation.I expect my lover to understand that,and if he loves me truly then surely the difference between our religions should not bother him.If it does I shall try to explain to him that it really is a matter of praying to one God that has different names in different religions.Ultimately it is the same universal force to whom we are all offering our prayers and seeking grace.So if we follow different religions,it should make no difference to our love.Because we love and care for each other,we should give more importance to the person rather than the person's religious beliefs.I think a spirit of tolerance and understanding are the bases of a relationship,and if I am fortunate enough to love a human being who is tolerant and broad-minded,I hopefully will not be told to change my religion by him. If I married a person of another religion then I would try and inculcate the positive values of both our religions in my children.I will teach them that love for humanity is the ultimate thing they have to learn to possess and religion is only a path to that,a sort of a guidance for us-both mental and spiritual.

I kind of agree with you- I wouldn't convert to the same religion as my spouse just because. I believe in what I feel I should believe in. I respect other people's beliefs, but I would never MAKE myself, or anyone, believe in something.

I don't really follow any religion. I believe what I choose to believe. I love god and all his creations but I don't know enough about religion to follow one. If I did and my current boyfriend asked me to switch I would in a heartbeat. I love him so much I would do almost anything for him.

Not really. If one can love without thinking of religion as barrier, one can live with that person without changing the religion.

I have heard of many cases like this, where a man should change his religion because the woman's parents wouldn't agree or permit their marriage otherwise or it was the request of the partner, or vice versa, especially in my region because the population is consists of various religions mainly Christianity and Islam. As for me, I don't think I could. I believe that when you truly love somebody, it must be unconditional therefore must not require a forced change of anything at all be it religion or lifestyle. In my experience, it is usually the muslims that require their partner to convert before marriage. I sometimes find that insulting or offensive but then it is the individual's choice so I cannot interfere with their decision.

I think if I have a lover who asks me to change my religion then is he my true lover? I think otherwise. Religion is something that is imbibed in us from childhood so its pretty hard for me to change my religion. I might change it but I won't do justice to the other religion for sure.

I would never change my beliefs for anyone. Turn my back on Jahovah? Never!!!

I think its very important to have a same religion on a family because its a key for unity. If on a sunday morning, two of your family member will go to a catholic church, one will go to a islam church and one will go to a christian church what does it looks like? Religion is very important in uniting a family. If both of you has different religion, you should have a talk and try to participate to one's religion so you can figure out whats the best for the family. Parents should decide on what religion to follow and let them guide their children to the path where they are. Beside, children cannot decise yet for the right religion for them. When the right time comes, they also have the free will to decide on what religion to follow when its time for them to decide for their family.

sure if i think that it will help us have a peaceful life. the said that sometimes one must sacrifice for the one you love just to show them how much you love them. and one must appreciate it. its hard to make decision of course specially if you know that its not the belief you grow up with. so the other partner must also understand. somehow, acceptance still the best and respect one's belief.

No, ma'am. I'll never do that. I'm a Muslim and love my religion more than my life. That's why I'll a Muslim woman to follow the rules of Islam to the fullest as much as possible. Have a nice day.
