marry someone with a different religion ^^

Religion is not a barrier when it comes to love. Yes, it is important that if you both love each other, you will be okay but the most important factor that we need to consider is to have the RESPECT. Respect will make your relationship bloom. Though you have different belief, for as long as you know how to respect each others tradition and culture or maybe your own saints or gods, it will never be a hindrance. Respect also goes for those couple who has the same religion. To all my readers, there is no barrier in love. RESPECT matters most. Good luck to your love life! :)

it is very hard to believe this is still an issue. all over the world people with different religions do get married. Mostly women do not care and give up their own religion for their husband's his (although this makes me wonder how sincere or how religious you were if you can do that so easily, also I doubt if any god would care about that since the bottom line of religion is the same!). There are also plenty of marriages where people don't give up their religion (believes) because of their partner although many are just religious by name. I find it strange one give up what he truly believes in or one is asking his/her partner to change his/her religion. Are you asking your partner too to change the colour of his/her hair? The colour of his/her skin? To change his/her culture, parents, family? Marriage means love = loving the other what he/she is and this includes his/her religion as well.

Randy and I are two different religions and we love each other. Randy is Mormon and I am Catholic. His parents and my parents are very supportive of us and never interfere. Randy's family is kind of split about us being two different religions and there are some members of his family do not like me because of this. I figure that if Randy and I love each other that all that matters.

In my views, religion can't interrupt in a relationship. Somehow I can see that many people like to make it a big issue. I have friends that insist to convert the religion of their partner, and I think this is kinda pathetic. You're right, the most matter is both party love each other...

That is hard I think. I knew some people who did that. They were okay until the time they have children. Both parents want to discipline their kids according to their beliefs, and it was hard not only for the parents but also the kids. I will not do such things. If I really love the man I might change religion myself. Good thing hubby and I shared the same beliefs.

Well I certainly would if I loved them as long as they respected my beliefs. I think this is one of those questions were you're liable to get a diverse set of answers from people of different cultures. I've dated several people of a different religion. The only problem I've ever had was one guys family was constantly trying to either tell me I was going to hell or convert me. It was annoying and sometimes uncomfortable but if I loved him I would of married him regardless. I believe we should follow our hearts. Also while I wouldn't necessarily expect him to I've had a few family members that have married in and converted. I do however feel that one should want to make a decision like that for themselves and not to appease your lover or their family.

I tried the interfaith thing with my boyfriend. I found that I preferred his side to mine--understandable since it pre-dates the religion in which I had been raised. So, I ended up changing religions. I have not officially converted yet, since that does take time. However, I follow the faith.

For me, there is no religious rule that guides me to choose someone to love. As long as she is not an atheist, its OK. You know, it would be hard if we would have to argue about it. Just an important note, choose someone regardless of religion but you also have to choose the one who will respect your religion too.

"All religions are Buddhism"---at least, that's what Buddhism says But they really are, because Buddhism's all about 'following your mentor and so becoming a mentor yourself. I stand by your side if we get married. If that means we must walk through Hell, it doesn't matter; we'll be side-by-side, so I'll be in paradise (and hope you will be too.)

I am not religious in the least,but I am a seeker of the truth.Someone religious who is attached to rituals and formulas no way.Someone nominally belonging to religion,no problem.So my answer is yes as long as she is not too religious..

Other than in matters of salvation, religion should not matter in love and marriage. Even the Bible condones inter-marry of a man and woman of different religious affiliations. "To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy." -- 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 Nonetheless, I should forewarn you of religions that purport to be holy yet teaches people to kill and be killed for their so called "sent messenger" who claims to be an angel.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i know in love there is no religion or caste but if it involves resentment of parents from both the sides then there is no value in going ahead with that relationship as without the consent and blessings of the elders no relationship on this earth has existed till the end. If my parents are OK with me falling in love with a girl of different religion then i will go on to marry her. What say?

My fiance is claims he's Catholic, but he also claims to have a very weak, broken faith. I am a non-denomination Christian. I do not agree with a lot of things in the Catholic church. And because of his weak, broken Catholic faith, we do occasionally get into arguments, mostly brought on through issues with our lives and the military. We are also of different ethnicity. I am Caucasian, he is Mexican. That has never been a problem, aside from his racial comments about African Americans, despite him having African American friends..... stupid boys. Ha. But as far as the religion issue, I think I could make a relationship work with anyone of any gender, ethnicity, religion, etc, so long as we were in love and willing to work together on our relationship. Me and my fiance have a wonderful, strong relationship, despite the constant struggles we have and will continue to have.

For me religion is not important.If someone loves by hole heartily that's is important nothing likes that to live hole life.religion is important for some area ,i don't tell its wrong may be some reason is there .

I agree with you, religion isn't the most important, love and respect are the most important in a relationship. If i am single and had a good relationship with a person who had a different religion than me then i will marry him as long as he could accept my religion and accepted who I am. Religion was not a big deal with me because i believe all of us are the same and equal no matter what kind of religion we have.

There are some country that marrying someone should be in the same doctrines. In my country, it is a choice for them either to convert themselves to another religion or no need to make a deal on their beliefs. If they really love each other, they just need to compromise to each other.

Yes,same with you, I will not take religion as a big deal in our relationship.And if that's the case that we have a different religion,if he really loves me he will respect mine and I'll gonna respect him too. And if he will asks me to be converted or will join on their religion, I'll gonna learn first their beliefs and if there is no against with mine then there will be no problem.

I would marry someone with a different belief system than me as long as he respects my views.

Religion is nothing today, when interests come first. If you like the same things, you smile on the same pleasures, you cry on the same tragedies, love is there and religion becomes nothing. Like Kurt Cobain said: Love, Peace, Empathy

My boyfriend is catholic and I belong to a different religion. I was so scared to ask him about this but he asked me the question, if what we will do if our religion will start to become an issue like if we're about to get married. That time I was so scared to disappoint him so I said that I'm willing to give up my religion if needed. But now that our relationship has gone stronger, I think it doesn't really matter. I'm thinking that if we end up in marriage someday and still having different religion, it's probably best to have ceremonies on both religion. Anyway, I'm once a Catholic.
