Yes! Just to make it legal. And tell her the truth that there are some part in the religion that a I cannot accept it that she must respect it.

No I would not...If they loved me for who I am and what I believe in there is no need to change, but to accept me with my religion and beliefs. If they want to marry you they should take this opportunity to grow and learn about yours as well as theirs.
As well it also depends on how strong you feel about your religion and how your family embraces your religion. You do not want any issues when you are planning to raise your family.
I have many friends that have different religions and they found it to be more of a blessings and maybe you will find the same.

we have family friends with a unique story. This couple met in high school--he is jewish, she a catholic. They fall madly in love with one another, but because of the religious aspect, they break it off. He goes off to college, and she marries a Catholic man and has two kids. He is verbally abusive and she divorces him after 5 years. They happen to see each other again and realize the spark is still there. She decides to convert. They marry, have two more kids and live happily ever after. Sometimes your soul mate isn't of the same religion. These two people have a love for one another that is amazing. We should all be so lucky.

No, but I would not mind attending services of a different religion. My fiance is a different religion than I am and I am getting married at his church. He would also attend services at my church as well if I asked him too - that is how I would prefer it.

I will tell you what a friend of mine told his fiance's dad - Sure I'll convert but I'm not going to be any better at being jewish than I am being at being catholic. I don't practice a religion and I'm not going to start for someone else.

No way! I wouldn't change anything about myself nor would I expect my husband to change for me. If 2 people love each other enough they can find ways around anything. A person shouldn't have to change who they are in order to make someone else happy.

Abosolutely not!!!! If the person you're going to marry loves you
they will accept you for who you are. And if they don't, then it wasn't meant to be. Don't change your religion just to please someone else. Only you can make that decision.

No way. My faith is very important to me and there is no way that I would abandon what I believe in order to marry someone else. We must agree about our faith or our marriage will never be successful.

No, I wouldn't. My faith is intertwined with my culture and traditions, so I would not give that up. I would only want to be with someone who shares my same values and morals, and would want to have a traditional marriage and family.

No. If my religion wasn't a problem when we were dating, why should it be a problem when he pops the question.
