Would you marry someone outside your religion knowing that they were not going to convert to your beliefs?

Answer 1

If I truly loved her, I would accept her as she is without the EXPECTATION of her changing.

If I had that attitude of her changing, it is disrespectful.

It's late, time for bed for me. Nighty nite!

Answer 2

Religion is simply an organized belief system. If you are open-minded enough to accept that someone else believes a different theory than you do and they are open-minded enough to accept that your beliefs are different - then there shouldnt be an issue. I would, however, discuss your child rearing plans before finalizing marriage details.
In my home my children are exposed to ALL types of religious beliefs and when they become adults and decide on a religion to follow (or none at all) it will be thier choice. They will hav gotten an education about them all to make the best decision for themselves as individuals..... we are not sheep why must one do what all the others do?

Answer 3

Its like this if your really into your religion and you feel its wrong to do so don't because whats going to happen is when it comes down to doing religious things such as getting married by church or Baptism's and etc. he wont be there and it will cause problems for both and it will make you unhappy unless you can work them out. Now if you don't care like me then you would be with him for the love you have for him and not religious reasons, I have always felt that your religion should not hold you back from being happy and judging others because of what they believe.

Answer 4

I would religion is a personal belief however it has been know to cause problems within relationships but if the two people involved really love and understand one another than there shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 5

Yes, I would. These days its all about being you. You can love someone and have different beliefs. We'd all be the same wouldnt we and none of know whats really up there till we get there, so do what makes you happy and have who makes you happy. We are a long time gone.
I believe in all kinds of things spiritual, hippy stuff, magic stuff. He was brought up a catholic,,,,,it doesnt even come into our realtionship..... its all good.

Answer 6

This is asking for trouble. As soon as the honeymoon wears off, you will start having religious disagreements. Then when you have kids, what religion will they be? I won't even look the way of a girl who isn't my religion, or at least open minded to converting. It is the smart thing to do, but then again, sometimes love is following your heart and not your brain. Pray and you will find the answer.

Answer 7

I probably would ,when I was younger, but not now and I don't belong to any particular religion,even so different beliefs seep into different attitudes concerning some important issues in this life.I'd prefer someone whose beliefs were similar to mine so we could discuss things together and learn from each others insights.

Answer 8

Everybody is outside my religion. Because I think religion is a bunch of hallaballoo. It's just another system of control that so many feeble minded people willingly submit to.

Answer 9

I' am Baptist and my wife is Catholic, I didn't and would never consider converting to Catholic however, I was open enough to take the classes required to get married in the Catholic church. Compromise is the key, we all need to be more tolerant of others beliefs. It is possible to be married and not share the same religious convictions.

Answer 10

I guess is would depend on what our religious beliefs are and if he or I would try to impose our religions on the other....but my answer is yes...I would marry someone outside my religion.

Answer 11

Of course I would....well as long as she wasn't a pagan or something like that. Love is stronger than any religious beliefs. Before getting married, one must accept the other completely and unconditionally.
