No one should follow either one. It should be two equals coming into a relationship where they don't need the other to complete themselves. They are already complete and want to live a life with another complete person. If the religion of either one is such that the dogma and belief system define their personality and they can't see that different beliefs and religions can express the same thing, then there needs to be more spiritual growth until each sees that belief systems shouldn't matter. Children need to be allowed to be open to any belief system and not be brainwashed; otherwise, we get situations were religious dogma (and not real spirituality) become the issue between people.

You should both follow your convictions, and each worship who you know is God. You may have to decide which is more important, your relationship with God, or your girlfriend! She may have to make a similiar decision. This is especially true if you are from two opposing religions, ie Muslim and Christianity, or Jewish and Wiccan, etc.
Sometimes faiths JUST...DON'T...BLEND.
Hopefully you already have a lot in common: ie you are both Muslim, and one is a Sunni other is Shiite; or Christian, but from different denominations. Those are differences that CAN be worked out.
Good luck.

no need to decide on what religion each should follow. but observing each other's faith is. respecting each other's way of practicing the religion. your only worry would sprung up when you're committed to marry. that's the crisis.... the repercussions is too many. but love will find a way, specially with two people longing to be with one another.
the notion of a relationship must be decided by both, not by an individual. and for that matter, not those surrounding you. love is between both individuals, two. it isn't an issue of faith, but of trust. it isn't an issue of belief, but of respect. thus, whoever should hold the reins must be both.... not a mere one.

Why don't the two of you explore the others religion and then talk about it. Better yet read your holy books together and se if you think your religion is following their own scripture. I'd say pick the one closest to scriptural guidelines

you should respect each others beleifs. I am a Christian and my husband is an atheist. we have been married for 29 years. the only time this was a problem was when my son quit going to church and my husband would not support my wanting to bring him back to church. we didn't speak to each other for a week. then my assistant pastor of my church gave me the best advice ever. he said never to let my religion come between my husband and me. he was 100% right. you have to respect the other person and let them beleive or not beleive.as for my son her eventually came back to church on his own. not my church but a friend invited him to his church. i realized that he too had to make his own decision about religion.

Neither of you should have to convert. What are the differences? There has to be some type of middle ground to settle your differences, especially if you have children some day.

You are both human beings, therefore you are equal to each other. Compromise and live in harmony.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
