We get enamoured by the physical beauty of a member of the opposite sex only to discover their religious beliefs are different from ours! We sometimes go ahead with the relationship despite this differences. But will you be willing to take it up to the level of getting married?

Im not so much into labels as I know people with similar religious labels still have different interpretations of their religious book

I will not be unevenly yoked again though, as far as what my actual beliefs/values/ and morals are,, I would not marry someone who doesnt share them

As long as they don't shove their beliefs down my throat & don't expect me to believe the way they do. We will be all good....bigsmile :thumbsup:

It would depend what the religion was, and what effect it would have on me an my children.
Would it effect how we lived and dressed or would we still be free to be ourselves.

Anything that was controlling I would say no, I wouldnt.
Otherwise, yes I would.

Nope. Never. Their direction, faith, knowledge, surrenderedness to God and maturity plays a mammoth part also.

Personally id consider being in a relationship with someone with a differant faith. Religion is not what defines a person'character. Some who profess a faith often live contrary to it. Besides, respect is important in any relationship, if one is fortunate enough to find the true love that so many sing about, write wonderfull poems about, then their faith comes with it. I would not expect anyone to adhere to my beliefs. All people of conscience will adhere to the fundamental human beliefs, those beliefs have little to do with religion. We all know them regardless of the faith one adheres to. I doubt one needs a faith to confirm that no one wants to be betrayed by infidelity, disrespect, abuse, nor untruthfullness.

Do you love your god unconditionally? In other words, is there anything that your god could do to make you love him/her less or not at all?

Do you think that the way you love your god is what love is supposed to be?

Does your god love you unconditionally - is there anyting you could do that would make your god love you less or not at all?

Is the love you exchange with your god what you think love is suppose to be?

Now think - based on your answers to the other questions:

What kind of love do you think your god expects you to give to others?

Has your god demonstrated how you should love and be loved or has your god given you mixed messages about love?

You might want to ask these same questions of the girl you love too. That might tell you how you can expect to be loved by her too.

I want someone of same faith/belief as my own. I will not be put down or joked about by my partner over religious matters which usually ends up the case when you mix match beliefs.

marriage is more than just love

I can love unconditionally a drunk, a thug, an adulterer

but I can not necessarily commit to become ONE with them, as it causes me to be one with their actions, words, and other choices,,,,

I can love them only in Jesus name.

It is unlikely I will marry in my faith. As long as core values are there, and not used to berate or beat someone over the head with, yes.
