Would you marry someone who isn't of your religion? (40)
SouthernLass: I don't believe that people of two different faiths can make a good marriage if they are both devout in their faith. On the other hand, there are some religions/philosophies that are compatible with others, so this may not be true for all belief systems.
As a Christian, I have learned over the years that I'm best paired with one who thinks similarly. It's just too difficult to attempt to live my life with someone who's not on the same page with me, religiously-speaking.
For me, God is a constant in my life. I seek God's will in how I live my life and many of the decisions I make are made with His will in mind. I prefer to find a partner who feels the same, whom I can pray with, go to church with, and basically share my love of God with.
I am not so sure that i like the termonolgy of quote religiously speaking;But i can tell you that Christ said; How can two walk together accept they aggree?The word (religion) is what is wrong with todays world anyway for my God is not ,and will not accept anyone who refers to him as (Religion) In fact on countless ocasions in the teachings of Christ'Our Lord ,and savior condemms such things as religion if you read from the same Bible you can clearly see that he made such mention of these Charcters as being condemed allready for they follow after the things of the Law,and the Laws of God can not save anyone.As a Christian, I have learned over the years that I'm best paired with one who thinks similarly.

Yes I would marry someone outside my religion as long as nothing was forced on me.

I expect quite a lot of people have the capacity to appreciate another's religious beliefs, and I suspect there are plenty who have interest in other religions. As long as two people can agree to respect each other's personal beliefs, I don't see any problems with two different religious backgrounds living together harmoniously.
I am going to marry a muslim...if you place your faith is more important to you than the person you love...I think something is wrong and you might should exsamen your believe and what it does to you..
I've been reading over some of the posts here and I have to say there are some great viewpoints on here. This is one of the best forum/polls I've seen yet.
morgan5: Yes, but only if he respected it was not my faith and it works both ways
I would add that I would be comfrtable sharing things fro mmy faith with him and have no expectations to convert him. I would also like to share things of his faith with the same consideration from him.
I have stated this in previous posts as follows and I still stand by it:
I respect all religions.
I have close friends that I met at college from all over the world. I have worshiped with them, in their religions and vice a versa.
Did I feel prejudiced? No, I was honored, my friends were comfortable with me to invite me to worship with them and to worship with me when I invited them.
My Father said that in general, all religions are different methods/ways of paying homage/respect/worship to the same G-d, with the exception of non-belief and any form of evil worship. That was his opinion. I tend to share it.
I really do not consider myself Religious but Spiritual
Do I beleive there is only one religion for all? No, I don't. I feel that to each their own.
I feel strongly in this, as well:
Freedom to Practice the Religion of ones choice, yes. Does "A" Religion give freedom over all others, No I don't think so.
I don't see marriage as being sacred. Its a contract- thats all it ever was and shall remain so.
I'm not religious. I'm spiritual- in fact, I'm a tree-loving, earth worshipping Pagan and proud. Could I marry a Christian? No. Muslim? No etc etc.
My religion is not a religion, it is my belief and my faith. My rock and my water It is part of who I am and who I have been and will be- and for me to marry a person of religion would be to deny part of myself.
