I'm 45, my husband is 29 and we've been together 7 years. He is from another race and culture. I had been married before and had 3 kids. He had never been married and wanted kids. When we met, I told him he was too young, but he persisted. I finally got over the age difference, race etc. It's my life but I did talk with my kids before we married and got their blessing. I have never regretted my decision. Stand up for what makes you happy. It's your life.

Strength comes from within not muscles, although it helps! You are asking for trouble to handle a marriage with a person of a different, religion, caste or creed. These are all man made beliefs not spiritual, so strong love can conquer all these difficulties. If you want to go this way make sure he /she feels the same way for the road would be full of social obstacles and if both of you are not fully committed, then it's like building a house on sands as soon as the rough waters comes it will wash away.

Well love can go beyond anythig I beleive a true love will never fail. Take the forever example of love rome and juliet no religions but still taken appart by society the end is not good you don't want that but If you truly beleive in your love and if she accept to love you as much there is no way religion will take you appart. Love can be stronger than life. You just have to find it !

It depends on whether that person was in love with me. It also depends on what the other religion/caste/creed was. I would not get involved with a person if his family was in the mob (just an example) but if they were buddhist or something (I am christian), I would definitely go for it. If you fear for your or their life in this process, I might consider letting them go.
Also, if the other person is close with their family, and doesn't want to lose them (and the family is threatening it) you might consider letting them go then too.

I'm not sure.It would be very easy to say "yes, i will".But, i know that reality is different.I love my parents very,very much and it would hurt me a lot to hurt them.
But, if i loved the guy, i would also want to be with him.
I know one thing for sure, if the guy is genuinely good, my parents will not let caste or creed matter. They may be shocked, but they will finally agree.
I don't give a damn abt the rest of the society.

If you're in love you're in love. To let anything at all damper that is ridiculous. You love a person for their soul and their religion and race and such shouldn't deter you. F*ck everyone else, you do what makes you happy. The person you're in love with is the one who's going to be there for you and stand by you and try to make you happy and help you through difficult times, not the nay-sayers.
Love is grand

i say stand up for him/her. if you are in love, you're in love. i'm not really a religious person, but i wouldn't let the rules of some religion ruin a relationship with the man or woman of my dreams ya know? You have to do what you feel is right, and if you feel like being with this person is right,then doo itt!!!!!

In America you don't see this as such a big problem as say in the 1960's so it is no longer such a big deal. But yes I stand up for what I believe in and there is nothing bigger to believe in then love!!!! So yes I would have the strength to stand up for my love against ALL opposing forces.

If I loved somebody that has a different religion, nothing could tear my love apart. I would fight and stand up for my love for that person. I wouldn't care about what everybody else thought.

It would be very difficult, I think everyone has the right to be themselves. But I think I would not be able to stay with someone who did not have the same beliefs as me. I want to raise my children Christian and it can be confusing to them if they have to learn more then one religion. Now I'm just a normal white girl, but my Fiance is Korean. The religion thing is my issue.
