My sister inlaw is a Jehovah's wittness. She became one just before her and my brother got married and she refused to live with him or have sex with him til they were wed. And they were already living together for a year and had an 8 month old son before this all happened. So she moved out til their wedding day. My brother thought it was just a phase and didn't see a problem with it. (By the way..my family is catholic) So to make a long story short, his life is miserable. They have 3 kids now. She won't acknowledge the kids birthdays, Christmas, or any other holiday. He loves her but they argue all the time because of their differences. She wants the kids to be Jehovah's and My brother doesn't. I don't see them lasting to much longer. But that's just my story. Im sure if you love her you can make it work... Goodluck

Be very careful with this difficulty. i'm incredibly certain you want this woman, yet this faith of hers is loopy. those human beings could properly be tremendous, yet they have some incredibly weird and wonderful rules which think ofyou've got to abide by ability of lots once you're married and in case you do not then you'll have a depressing afflicted marriage. there is continuously going to be something. I surely have hardship-free a pair of those human beings by ability of artwork and that i only couldn't believe the failings I surely have heard, I surely have one of those troublesome time believing it truly is a faith, it really isn't any longer incredibly a faith, i believe it truly is better of a cult. They get you and also you do not have the right to settle on for your self anymore, they make all of your alternatives, alternatives that incredibly could no longer be any of their organisation. Now they are making the rules on once you are able to and can't get married. perhaps as a change of her supplying you with and ultimatum, you need to offer her one and make her make a call from you and this undesirable faith. a chum of mine died and his sister changed into Jehovah's Witness and they instructed her she could no longer visit his funeral till the funeral changed into performed by ability of the Jehovah's Witness and at the position they chosen it to be. i could no longer believe this. This changed into no longer his faith, yet he had to be buried the way they reported it had to be carried out. I worked with yet another woman who had a birthday and on account that i did not have an comprehend-how about their beliefs about birthdays, I gave this woman a birthday modern-day and her mom discovered out and punished her because she well-known the present and then made her give up her interest. it truly is the most dictating faith I surely have ever hardship-free. Please evaluate your self warned about this and make a better knowledgeable decision on what you incredibly want on your existence and your little ones existence. reliable success, your going to wish it and your going to need an outstanding style of prayer too. i'm scared for every person who receives stuck up in this.

Such 'uneven yokings' are frowned upon by Jehovah's Witnesses.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers

I dont think anything should stand in your way if 2 people love each other. I know religion is a difficult subject and that it can cause conflict., but if you are open and speak about each other feel then it shouldnt get in the way. Besides it doesnt matter what other people think. Its like age - its just a number, when people look at a couple in love they dont see their age - they see 2 people in love. If you have found someone truley special hold onto them and dont let peoples views come in the way.
Good luck.

I'm curious to know how come she is going out with you? How long have you two been dating? If she's a baptized Jehovah's Witness then she should only be dating (and marry) a Jehovah's Witness.

You guys can have a future, I mean people learn to accept each other's beliefs without actually converting to them. The only problem is that she may not have a future with her church if you decide to marry because they are very strict about these sort of things(well at least my cousins church is, they are jehovah's witness's also). They will not let you guys marry in her church, and if you dont marry in her church then they will not reconize(sp?) that you guys are married.

Honestly think it through before marriage or children. My father was a church goer and my mother was not when they married and she was unhappy, but proceeded to have 4 children with him before divorcing him 13 years later because she couldn't take it anymore, nor did she want that life for her children. Religion is a big deal breaker if two people see it as differently as the two of you. Good luck.

Read the book "Draw Close to Jehovah" It has alot of good info in it. And alot of it is scientific facts and so on. It helps you appreciate God from a new point of view. You can learn alot from it. I did. If you really love her, just try reading and see what you think. Couldn't hurt, right?

There is nothing harder than mixing religions. Even if you think you can handle it now, down the line you will have your beliefs come up in many situations. This is difficult. I ran into this with my ex husband. I am Christian and he is basically not religious at all. We could not agree on decisions concerning our lives, child rearing etc.

You guys might have a future together as long as you both except eachothers choice in religion. But if either of you start to question your partners choice in relgion, it won't end up good.
