Answer 2

All these people have given you pretty interesting answers, and there have been some dumb ones too. But I'm going to break this down for you. From experience.

If you (assuming you are the Christian) want to marry a someone that was raised Catholic, then you should probably think about a few things.

First, if you were raised in a full Gospel family/church, you have in your head an image of marriage. You have imagined your mate to be a certain person and that you will do certain things and you've probably imagined what kind of 'follower' he would be. Now, you have really got to be 100% honest with yourself, because it is very important to identify your deepest desires, bring them to the surface and consider them.

Secondly, how devout is he/she? This matters greatly, because, often it isn't until after the wedding that a spouse will take their faith seriously. Also, does your potential mate understand your faith or is it a point of contention? If you can answer those two questions then you may have a pretty good idea of the faith path your family will walk. Serious differenes can potentially create a deeper conflict. You also have to consider where you are in your faith. If you, yourself don't know, then I would explore what your beliefs are before you engage in a permanent situation.

Thirdly, if your beau isn't devout, but his/her family is, you must take into consideration the pressures that may come from the 'in-laws'. Becasue that is inevidible. Often, they might pressure you or your mate to do things because it is expected, especially when it comes to children. You will want to consider the positives and negatives in this area.

I was raised in a full Gospel Family/Church. I married a Catholic. He isn't a 'spiritual' person, but he does acknowledge his upbringing and his convictions. However, he is not a practicing Catholic. He has, since we've been together, leaned towards the more carismatic faith that I have been surrounded in. He find it more personal and fulfilling to his outgoing personality. Granted, there are certain things he still believes and certain things he does not understand.

You must remember, that Catholics, unless they were REALLY devout, don't often recall the stories and time lines from the Bible and of course, they were in and out in an hour once a week, so really what kind of community did they have in their faith? That's been the issue here. There is so much he didn't know, Sunday School and consentrated Bible studies are more detailed if you have been raised in a charismatic Christain household. I find that I have to read him the stories that I've known all my life because he doesn't recall them.. or believe them, becasue he didn't know they existed.

I know I have the spiritual leader position in our household, and I didn't want that to be. I always imagined that my husband would fill that role. Now I know one day, at least I hope, that he will fill those shoes and I can go back into the passenger's seat. But none the less, I wish I would have had these conversations before we got married, that way the expectation level would've been set and a 'plan' laid out.

The most important thing, is that you are pleasing to God in your marriage. If you are both following God sincerely, then God will bring the two of you closer together.

I know I've gone on long enough, but these words come from me, a person who has asked the very same question you asked. Six and a half years later, we're still working on our faith.. and we'll always be. But, I don't regret it.

Answer 3

no because wen u do get married u will have differnt perspectives on alot of things and god made us to marry the same religion as ourselves...that way u get to see both of u in heaven.....but if u do marry a catholic guy then well its not very good cause im a christian and its basically kinda like a law to get married to another chritsian not catholic so yea

Answer 4

yes of course. its just that if they marry in the catholic church they have to raise the children with the catholic faith but i dont know what will happen with the christian tradition.

Answer 5

Its not a question about gospel or catholic its question about how you couples lead the life., if your life be in smooth why would afraid of your gospel society.,

We are human beings afterall.

Answer 6

Anything is possible. And, there is even Full Gospel Catholics.

Answer 7

Anyone can marry who they choose. Its the quality of the marriage and the problems that WILL come up as time goes on that are the real things to think about. Your family and their beliefs will not magically go away. Nor will the others. You marry them, you marry their families, cultures, religions and beliefs.

Answer 8

Do you really have to ask ,,,are you evenly YOKED? I know it is somewhere in the BIBLE ...I can't say word for word but I thought it is best to be evenly yoked...Are you willing to convert into catholic ways? What religion will the children follow? The boys catholic and the girls holy rollers? You pray on this and fast and wait for the LORD to give you an ANSWER...because we really can't do that for you..

Answer 9

Before they marry, they must make sure they are on the same page when it comes to church and how they are going to raise their children or else it could be a huge fight that could potentially end the marriage.

Answer 10

you can marry anyone of any faith.... the problem you may face is what is called conversion to religion, meaning, ok, I happen to be Jewish and my lover is Catholic(yes we fight like cats and dogs about the religions) but we can be together just like any 2 persons.... yes my friend, anyone can marry anyone
