Love conquers all, faith is important but if you truley love him you need to have faith in him and that you two will eventually end up in the same place. Religion may be a huge part of your life, but your happiness should come first live while you can because we leave this world to quickly. enjoy every minute with him and embrace your love let it empower you.

Religion can be a VERY big deal for some couples. Many a war has been started in the name of religion. If you are Both VERY strong in your religion and neither are willing to bend or change then you do have a problem. Personally I don't think that ANY religion is right or wrong...its what you are comfortable with. I think god does not really care as long as you believe and you are a good person. But as I said that is me personally. Maybe if you guys are open to it....try going to each others Church's together...he may find that your religion suites his needs...or you may find his suites yours...you will never know unless you try. What ever you do do not let outside pressures build walls for you....like his family or yours saying Oh you cant do that etc. Bottom line is its YOURS and HIS life.
Best of Luck

Your question didn't give enough details for me to completely understand with certainty what the problem is, but am I to conclude that he wants you to become Catholic? If you are a UCC member, then settling down into a more traditional approach to religion might be difficult. Below are some sites that might help you consider how to reach an acceptable understanding between you and your partner. Good luck!

I feel for you so much! I have been married to my best friend and soul mate for 10 years. We have totally different religious views though. I thought that as time went on he'd come to my way of thinking but he hasn't. He's Catholic. He doesn't go to church though, doesn't care to. I'm the opposite, i'd love to be able to go to church with him and take our kids with us. We are in a stale mate. This is what you have to look forward to. If you love him, marry him. Religion is man made, spirituality is Divine made. As long as you're both spiritual who cares about the religious part!

Religion differences shouldn't stop you!
You can both be from different religions, or you can both change to one religion. There will be some complications, but that comes with love.
Don't worry bout it! Just go ahead with your life, settle down with your man, and feel good about your decisions.
Good Luck!

is he from a theocratic society? In that case religion can be one step above what a person in a representative government has experianced. This can be a huge deal. Use caution.

well u knew about his religion before you started dating so what's the problem. If you started dating him it was because it didn't bother you so why change your mind now. I'm a catholic and my husband is christian, nothing wrong with that. I respect his religion he respects mine

For me religion is the most important thing in a family life, I can't think if me and my husband different religion. For me, being ingage with a man whose religion different from me, is totally wasting time..trust me..

What are your religions? Anyway GOD should be at the foundation of every marriage. it is very sacred. God institued marriage at the beginning of time with Adam and Eve. So many marriages end in divorce because the Lord is not the foundation of the relationship
