No~ I think its best to date someone with your own faith. If you ever have children whose church will they attend? What will be their religion? It has nothing to do with not being tolerant to other religions, I just feel like religion to some people is a major part of their life and if you don't share the same views on religion it will make your marriage and raising children difficult.

If your religious faith is strong why would you date out of your religion,we date at first to see if two people are compatible.Then if everything seem OK we move to the next step marriage under what faith do you think each person will want to be married?This is just the beginning of the impact having a partner with a different faith will have it just rolls up hill from this point on! If they or you are not willing to give up and convert it looks like a long beginning to a short end,I would not change my religion for anything! Good Luck!

No. It's natural to want to be married to someone that shares your beliefs and devotion. Even if you were to fall in love with someone of a different religion, that doesn't mean he/she can't change or that you can't. The key is finding someone who accepts you for who and what you are and supports your right to have a religion you are comfortable with. At the same time, it is a wise man who also accepts the beliefs of another and allows that amount of freedom for the other person to believe as he/she chooses.

I think religion has a lot to deal with your worldview. If you don't have the same worldview as your partner it could lead to problems down the road. It's like wanting to date someone that has the same interests as you. You need to have stuff in common. Religion is just another one of those things.

it would be difficult if you fell for a muslim I think. but any christian or even an athiest if you love them could work out. you must use your own heart. of course it is more likely you will meet catholics but I understood catholic was part of the christian faith, not a seperate religion, although reading many answers on here I wonder if most catholics know that.

What would you do if you were in a church that was really small? Good to go over stuff before you get married!

"wrong"... what a loaded word.
"wrong" all depends on whether you think you need to follow what your church tells you or if you should make up your own mind.
you don't want your S.O. to "feel strange in a catholic church".. so that means you want them to go to your church with you, will you go to theirs with them? Is it wrong to expect one and not the other?
"wrong"... yes, your church leaders would probably tell you it is "wrong"... churches are the deciders of truth, if you let them be.

What is right and what is wrong these days? Who knows! If you want someone to be a specific religion you are going to miss out, but that's your choice. Don't settle for something you don't want.

No there nothing wrong with that. You need to find someone that you can spend the rest of your life with, religion is part of that. Just don't let that stop you from finding someone special! Good luck!

No its not that is a huge thing! and if you want a peaceful relationship then stick in the same boundaries as one another. and also if you are not a devout cathothlc then it doesnt matter who you date.. but if you dont stand for something then you will wind up falling for their religion if they stabd for it.. which if its the truth that its a good thing
