Is your relationship preference based on Religion or Love?

Like this discussion catcai! There are probably many ways of looking at this but my personal opinion is that love conquers all! As long as a couple from different religions can respect the others beliefs and compromise on issues then there shouldn't be any major problems!

personally, not being overly religious, but still spiritual, relationships are based on love with me. if i love someone i can accept things that they believe that are different from what i believe, granted they dont try to force their beliefs on me. i would never be able to live with that no matter how much i cared for the person.

You know what, I've tried doing that. But I find that it doesn't work for me. I refused to change, and so does the guy. In the end, our religion became a big hurdle for us. It was ok when things aren't that serious, but after a while, when talks of wedding comes up, our future looked doomed. So we just let each other go. Now I'm with a man of the same religion as mine.

i don't prefer a relationship based on religion as long as you respect with each others view or beliefs...for me love is more important in relationship :)

For me, Love has a big point when it comes to a relationship. But we cant disagree with those people who really need to have a relationship with the same religion. Like Chinese, they really need to marry with the same person. or Muslims or other religion that has this policy when it becomes to have relationship. We also need to respect their rules. But for me, i prefer to marry with someone with the same faith or religion and of course, we love each other. But if when i will love a person with different religion, i will accept him because i love him.

Same faith and religion wouldn't matter I guess if both of you respects each other's opinion. Of course I would want a relationship based on love, I think it's in it that makes you understand each other. Feelings for each other might not be called old fashioned coz it's the way it has been until now. We might see a different picture now because people in our advance generation try to think things differently.

The two are so inextricably intertwined that they may as well be the same thing. At least they are to me.

Religion matters not at all with me - it's love all the way, and whatever makes the universe tick is OK with me. I go with the flow......... Nevertheless, I always respect my wife's beliefs, and would never put them down, or ridicule them.

My first girlfriend was a member of Church of Christ and I am a Catholic. Our relationship lasted for more than a year. We broke up with happy memories and we're still friends today. Actually, I am a godfather to her eldest child.

Religion is an important part of the relationship for me. It is important to have the same morals and way of life. I do believe that people of different faiths can get along just fine, but I want love and the same religios beliefs for me.
