do you think intereligious marriages work?

Answer 1

I think it usually doesn't, especially if both religions are completely opposite. Besides for it being hard on the spouses and their parents/siblings, any children they may have are caught right in the middle. (For example, according to Judaism, if the mother is Jewish the child is, while Christianity says the exact opposite.)
The couple, of course, can still make it work through a lot of compromising, commitment, and working very hard to make their marriage succeed. But then again...it depends on the couple.

Answer 2

Sometimes but at other times no because two religions can be very conflicting and if you dont believe the same way on issues it will cause division and fighting and dischord in the marriage. I feel you both should have the same beliefs when you marry. If you are already married however then try to compromise a little by visiting each others churches on a take turns basis.... Talk to you pastors ot leaders as well and see what they recommend or say about this!

Answer 3

I know a decent number of people in people in intereligious marriages that have worked out just fine. I think It all depends how open minded the people involved are, and if they believe that others, even those the closest to them have the right and the freedom to make their own personal decisions. I think if you truley love someone you will let them be free to make their own religious choices, and that person will treat you the same. I am sure there are plenty of times religion does cause friction in marriages, but I would think that the differences would pose more of a problem BEFORE the couple decided to get married.

Answer 4

It works if both husband and wife respect each others religion.
If either of them convert them self to other region by force before marriage then it does not work sometime.
Marriage is between two individuals not between two religions.

Answer 5

You put "religion" first in this question, so appears it means something. If religion is this important, HOW can you go to different churches and LIVE a life of 2 religions? Your going for a feather for your cap? or make a God Blessed marriage?

hmmmmmmmmmm. ever hear of "unequally yoked together".

it's a old saying......in The NEW Testament.

Answer 6

It can. But that depends on how strong the beliefs of the individuals are. If they have children, how will they be raised?
Are they concerned about how the families will look on this?
Marriage is always grounded by comprimise, love, and trust.
Those are the most important things.

Answer 7

hmm... i guess it depends on both partners and how strong thier faith is as well as thier tolerance. They both should be respectful of eachother and have an understanding of one an anothers core beliefs. Its also difficult in many aspects... kids,family, names, etc. All these factors play into it and one should think things through before entering a "serious" relationship or marriage with someone of another faith.

Answer 8

it has possibilities ......but mostly nope........

more than religions..... i think it depends more on the partners u know.......if they can be more open minded or if they can be the adjusting type....

definitely both the families wud have problems after marriage b coz of the culture differences and also the superstitions.....

on the other side.....if the bride and groom love each other very much and tries to work on it ..it should be fine....

Answer 9

Only with a lot of effort because different religions usually lead to different views of life. If that is not a case and if you two really love each other it will work. Just be careful not to lose yourself.

Answer 10

Perhaps, as long as both persons are honest, willing, and openminded. On the other hand, it is much better to just be spiritual since the only thing religion is good for is dividing the people of this planet.
