Do u believe it is ok for people from 2 religions to date?

Answer 1

People do it. And people from different religions marry. I think it makes things a bit more difficult, especially if both are very serious about their beliefs. But there are alot of successful interfaith marriages.

Answer 2

Eventually, you will marry someone that you date, right. It's all but certain to work out that way. What sort of conflicts would an interfaith marriage cause for you in a marriage? How would you raise the children? What would you do about circumcision? These are serious questions, but if you date someone of another religion, you may have to answer them someday.

Also, even if you try to work these things out before marriage, it may not succeed. My wife is Jewish and I am not. Before we married, we had numerous conversations about how we would deal with the issues I mentioned above. And, we reach agreements. After the children were born, she decided suddenly that Judaism was more important to her and our agreements were out the window.

Lastly, if you are a non-Muslim woman and he is a Muslim man, just walk away. Unless he is completely non-practicing, it will be very difficult for you two to agree on anything about the rearing of a daughter.

Note: BTW, some people use the term "religion" when they really mean "sect". Christianity is a religion. Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Presbyterianism are sects of Christanity. Judaism is a religion. The Orthodox, Conservative, and Reformed movements are sects

Answer 3

I am going to say no.

Here's why -

It really makes for a rough time down the road. Dating is basically checking someone out for marriage. The lovey dovey stuff wears off and then the core values or what drives each individual person comes out. Later on, this leads into arguments and if you have had children by the time this happens, well they are pulled into both directions.

Each person you date is a potential spouse, it is a lot wiser to eliminate the foreseeable trouble down the road now, before you get emotionally attached!

Answer 4

1) it would depend on the religion

2) it would depend on you

3) it would depend on your partner

Every religion is it's own. However, inside each religion is it's followers. Every single follower is different. We're all human so we think differently - even when it comes to the rules of our religions.

I myself? Yes, I think it's perfectly ok for people from two different walks of life to date - and even do (what most churches think of as wrong) the sinful thing of getting married outside of their religion.

My wife is Catholic. I have no denomination. We got married by the State. Lucky we talked about this early on. Because now her church doesn't allow her as a practitioner because she was married outside of the church. But they also would not wed us in the church because I was not Catholic.

So you see how it COULD cause a problem. And not everybody could possibly work through it all. It depends on the two people involved.

I wish people would realize (if they believe in God) that there is only one God. I doubt it's possible to have all these divisions. It just doesn't make sense.

Answer 5

faith ameliorations could reason some issues in marriage. yet once you're the two prepared to settle for this and able to understand your ameliorations than you're extra useful off than maximum marriages of the same faith. My husband is Muslim, i'm catholic and our little ones have all got here upon their very own course alongside numerous faiths (one is jewish, yet another orthodox, 2 atheists). some stressful circumstances that arise are issues which contain the thank you to enhance your little ones. We raised them in the two our faiths alongside with awareness as many religions as we ought to coach them. Frankly all subject concerns in marriage come all the way down to love and recognize. as quickly as you could prepare those with a honest volume of ability, no remember if dating or married any dating will grow to be gratifying.

Answer 6

As an atheist, I think that it probably could be problematic if you have substantially different codes for behaviour. If you are the woman, does his religion support equality for women, what are your positions on choice for abortion?

If you are going to date seriously, you will have to get to know each other very well before considering a long-term relationship.

Answer 7

Depends on the religions

Answer 8

It all depends. Love isn't always enough sometimes and when you throw differences like that in you'll have to work extra hard to make it work. It can be done, but its not a basket of peaches. The most you can do is ask your most high for guidance through it...it will all work out.

Answer 9

The bible asks how can two walk together unless they agree. If they feel they can answer that question in a way that will not compromise their indivudual faiths, then they have the answer to a mystery. If not, someone will need to convert or there will be conflicts.

Answer 10

sure, i think so, as long as you're both aware of it and are ok with that situation. the only thing that may cause a problem, possibly, is in terms of a long term relationship and marriage, simply because families may disagree with it at first, but i dont think it sould be a deal breaker.
