Well, some people said that religious beliefs don'y play a part in relationship... And I feel that the most impt thing is both of you being comfortable in a relatioship whereby u has beliefs and the other party has none... Me and my ex were together for 2 yrs before we finally called it off.. We are still in love with each other even during the break up cos he said he doesn't want to hurt me longer... We have different faiths and religious beliefs.... Even though we did talked it out before we actually start the relationship, we thought that things will worked out at the end.. But thruout the relationship I had always reminded him that should he want to believe in my faiths, it had to be of his own free will and interest and not because of his love for me.... Cos I know it might not last... And I know that he love his religion too... At the end of the day, he called it quits cos he said he can't face the stress of having 2 different faiths in the family should we get married... Yes we were together to the point where we thought of getting married... And remember if he ever want to start believing in yr faiths, it has to be of his own interest and not because of being coerced....
Remember, even if u guys had different faiths and believe in the same religion, remember that you guys can still be close and build a bond.. However, you had to consider how comfortable u are.... And if u both had different religious beliefs or no religious beliefs, u guys had to attend any functions that is part of yr religious beliefs such as attending Sunday mass alone... without the companion of yr loved ones... Although it might be fine after a while, u begin to think and ponder whether if u had make the right choice...
Talk to your significant other and have a discussion and then ponder on it.. Remember at the end of the day its yr own happiness and knowing what u want.... Mine had to ended tragically, but still I had no regrets of being with him... You yourself has to know what you want from the relationship.... Gd luck!!!

Hi Shoe. This is a really difficult question and I encourage you to talk to qualified people you can trust. But for what it is worth: yes, I might. But not if it was because my own spiritual beliefs were intolerant. People can believe in different ways and still be wonderful partners in life. The real issue is values and behaviour. Focus on the "outward and visible signs" more than the "inward invisible" beliefs. That's where the rubber hits the road on a daily basis. That's where the relationship will either continue in friction or find smooth roads ahead.

Living in a world where definitions have no definite meaning, maybe one should be perfectly clear on "religious beliefs." I am not religious, but i do allow "The Supreme Creator" to speak to me. A person should ask questions to see where a person is "spiritually," then base their decision on that. Maybe the significant other was sent to you to be enlightened.... the choice is yours, Peace

Well, didn't you know his beliefs from the beginning? That's what people do before actually "having" a relationship: they talk, so they should know each other's mentalities, views and beliefs to know if they r compatible and if they can consider a relationship. If the girl/guy didn't know about the other person's beliefs, then what did they do till that moment? Jumped to bed directly and thought "we'll come to know about our views once we are at the altar"????

Yes, but if you love the person you should try to stick it out. But this is something you should find out in the beginning of a relationship so that you dont get so attached that you cant make sound choices.

Well, here's the thing; I wouldn't start a relationship with someone who had no religious beliefs.

Depends on how long you've been seeing this person and whether you believe that people should share the same viewpoint as you do. I personally opt for a diverse world with freedom of choice, but to each his own.

If its just a relationship and the issue is a frequent cause of friction then yes... but if the relationship is marriage and kids are also involved then the answer is no.
