No.

You are lovable as your self, that's why he/she wants to marry you. If you pretend to be and believe something else, you lose that precious something, and become angry underneath.

Even differences within a religion, such as Catholic-Protestant can cause problems. Babies come, and what beliefs do you teach the kids?

if somebody loves, should love u the way you're , love is beyond religion, plus all religion speak of love first. So it shouldn't matter , he doesnt love u if he's asking u to change ur religion for marrying him. How does it matter what religion anyway when u love each other?

When a person does not know all the facts then sometimes they do things that are not necessary. Example: If one were actually to read the Holy Qur'an they would find out that conversion is not necessary for a woman of a different religion to marry a Muslim man. It is necessary for a man in order to marry a Muslim woman.

But unfortunately many Muslim men force conversion upon unknowing unsuspecting women. Which is totally wrong.

Judaism prefers both persons to be of the same religion.
Christianity if one were to read the letters of Paul, he suggests that one marries of the same religion.

In my view, Love does not require religion but all religions require love. Conversion should be a personal decision for salvation not for marriage. To me if one forces another to convert for the sake of marriage then I do not believe that there is love between the two people. Sometimes, I think people do things because of fear more than true desire.

I would suggest to anyone to seek unbiased information regarding what is or is not required before making such a strong decision to change everything in their lives for someone. Information about culture, RELIGION, etc.

Now the other side of the coin is that sometimes conversion makes life easier because the two people can relation to customs and lifestyles.

Example in Saudi Arabia, women are required to completely cover themselves when outside the home. They are not allowed to leave home without man's permission.

These rules are based on religion but enforced for all regardless of religion

See...Religion is an outward coating...all of us have been painted with... it does not have much to do with compatability.If love is genuine i don't mind making some compromises.....
As far as food is concernced... I don' know..... a non vegetarian can cope up with vegetarian food,but vice versa is quite difficult...

Unless the person doesn't have any solid belief, they probably would. However, for me, I can't imagine being without my Beliefs.
If I gave up my religion, I would probably be insane or suicidal and dangerous person. What keeps me sane is my religion, my God and my solid beliefs. Without them, I am not me anymore, but a monster.
haha

I don't think anyone would want me to change my religion or give it up completely. I would probably drive them insane as well. The the world would have two more crazy people who would be monsters. grin

No thanks, I will stick to my religion and the other person doesn't like it, they don't have to date me.

cool
