why religion always matter ??

Answer 1

You cannot walk the path of life together if you are both headed to two different places.

Answer 2

The bible says that two people should be equally yoked in the spirit of God. When people of two religious backgrounds get together conflicts may arise. There is an old saying which states "A family that prays together stays together." For a relationship to truly be blessed and function properly both people must be under one accord. All religions are different. Seventh day Adventists recognize Saturday as the Sabbath Day. Catholics exercise lent and are not allowed to eat meat on certain fridays. Jehovah's witness don't recognzie the Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit as being part of the Trinity or celebrate holidays. It is things and differences such as these that cause problems and conflicts. Peace and God bless.

Answer 3

It does if you take it seriously.

But when religions are at odds with each other and you're zealous what do you do?

Let's take some extremes.

One religion believes in literal hell another doesn't. What do you teach your kids?

One religions speaks in tounges another religion thinks that could be demonic possession. What do you do when your spouse encourages them to speak in tounges.

Worse, what happens when you get divorced due to these differences and then start have arguments over child raising or use the issue in court during custody fights.

The only true love I've ever seen is the love a mother has for her chldren. Every other form of love pales. Why is the divorce rate 40% or more! What happens. You stop loving!

Romantic love is based on some hormonal concept. It's a drug induced state and when that drug wears off you're back in reality.

Answer 4

depends on what religons you havent stated which. christianity preach love but are meant to uphold moral principles(Gods law)
that is, if these principles do not be upheld then its not very loving but harmful to those whom dont. thats why we as christians we speak out in a confronting manner. so to confront those that teach otherwise and sometimes this causes turmoil and not peace.sometimes there is no choice but confrontation to protect
morality and sometimes a few suffer to protect the many. but it is wrong to kill and we as christians should not ever conform to that. unless confronted with the terrible choice of saving more life as a result. when two people of different religons marry there will usually be conflict
because the two would basically say their religion is the true way to god, and cause grief when they have children where they must decide which religion there child must follow. also what is allowed by one is disallowed by another and cause the other to adapt his\her ways which conflict with there own. being so once a couple marry even if of different beliefs they should not divorce because that creates a different world of hurt. people make the mistake of thinking that obeying a specific religion benefits god. but the laws are there to protect us not god. if there was no-one in the world to uphold good moral principles then the world will fall into a very dark place indeed and very quickly. and even people whom enjoy the vilest of evils will even hate that place. i hope these answers are clear and not confusing , i did cover quite a lot of topics in this answer.

Answer 5

Lots of ppl from different religions marry each other. for e.g. Indian celebrities.

Shah Rukh Khan & Ghauri?
Hrithik Roshan & Suzanne? (if you know who these ppl are)

Parents encourage conversion when religion is an important aspect of their lives. Example, which religion will you raise the kids with? Plus, religion is a way of life... so it is an issue. It can cause serious problems in a marriage & it increases the likelihood of a divorce. Parents do not want this happening,do they?

But at the end of the day religion is not a problem if you don't make it a problem.

Answer 6

You should make sure your lifemate is equally yoked. You will have a time when your faiths will be pulled in opposing directions with regards to rituals or customs and rearing of children. It can be done if you talk about all the major differences and get them ironed out before hand. I would recommend counciling with one or both churches first before marriage and see what each has to say . Not that you should base who you marry on what they say, but they may be able to help you negotiate some of the compromises that are going to have to take place for an interdenominational marriage to work.

Answer 7

Parents and children are not always on the same page when it comes to beliefs.

As a couple you need to find the answer of your question by examining how strong your faith is.

If you are both church goers then pray for a solution and inform your parents what you decided,

otherwise change to the faith of the one who feels strongest about it.

If neither of you care then decide which set of parents will be hurt mostly and consider that church.

Ultimately you need to find your own path (or paths).



Also remember that love has different levels.
Possessive love
unconditional love
the love for money and the love for God - you may wish to ponder on love.
Unconditional love is the healing force that resolves all conflict.

Answer 8

Nice question!!!!!!! I think the problem comes, when the person wish to live by the riligion. I explaine better my self. I am christian, and i want to be free for example, to go out,etc.... If i have a man from another religion, mabe would not like something like that. immediately, comes a conflict.
But i thing the parents, sould only talk, and then leave free the persons make their life,not make the rules,of the others........expecialy the christians.I would tell to my sister what i think, but she would be free from me, to make a mistake.Who knows always everything? Nobody............

Answer 9

there are certain problems which must be overcome if these two people are from two extremely different belief systems. however if the belief systems are similar these differences may be resolved easily. depends upon how the two people involved are willing to work out their differences by compromising their free will for the good of the union. the parents need to become involved and aware of the compromises for sake of family peace and harmonious relationships.
