would you........
...give up your beliefs or religion for someone you love ? or would you hope they would join you in yours ?This is a question for both religious and non religious alike.
If you would not then why not ?

A very interesting question and I had a similar dilemna almost a decade ago with an ex-boyfriend. I am Christian and he is Hindu. It was one we had to discuss as he wasn't willing to change his religion and neither was I. It would have been a question of which faith would you raise any children we had to together in and how do you celebrate holidays etc.
We broke up soon after so the question/discussion was moot.
Have a great weekend.
Why should he/ she? We both knew from the beginning, what each other belief were. So! Why change it! Just to please someone. When personally. One is thinking different on the inside.
Ian. Interesting blog!
I married a Muslim but still went to church from time to time.
I put up Christmas Tree and celebrate Christmas and he usually bring us Christmas presents.
We celebrate Eid and enjoy with our family with lots of foods and gift-givings.
We are teaching our son to respect all religions and beliefs.
I don't see religions or beliefs as a problem in a relationship, it's how two people respect, accept and love each other.
Sure we did talked and argued about it from time to time but we have a red line and simply know when to stop.
That is something we see a lot amongst our colored (not black) population. A Christian woman will marry a Muslim man (or the other way around) and she will almost always convert to his religion. When they get divorced after a few years, the woman turn back to her previous religion.
Amongst the white population, you will find the same thing (to a lesser degree) when Protestant and Catholic marry.
I think people should marry within their own religion.
so are you saying that neither can respect each others faith, and live together ?..love conquers all right ?
Reason
Religion is a fairytale
you two..you stop it! why do you always argue about me?
Your believes are a part of who you are and what you represent, to give them up is giving up part of who you are.
People have to change their believe because it is something they desire to do for themselves not for someone else.
I have had people ask me about my believes and said they would change for me... BUT I said ABSOLUTELY NOT! That is not how it works.
I believe you have to be true to yourself...also I do think it could breed resentment at some later date.
Have a GREAT Friday everyone...
