Your relationship with God are between you and the higher power you believe in. Converting to please another "human being" wouldn't be putting the spirtual relationship as a priority but the earthly one. No One can make you convert. In the end you will not stick with it. Do what makes you happy and what your conscience can deal with.

No. I will not stop believing in the religion which I believe is the right one for me just for a loved one. They will have to accept my religion and I will accept and respect theirs. What if you had 3 loves in your lifetime? That means you changed your religion 3 times. That's crazy. Pick a religion that works for you. If my religion was not working out for me and I was looking for a new one then I would change.

No, my husband knew the day he married that I would never change religion's. He loved me enough to respect that and he married me knowing that. We have changed a lot of other little things, but not that.

No, nor would I date/marry anyone who expected me to. Religion is a deeply personal thing, not something to change like dirty socks to impress a mate. I certainly would think less of any man who would change his religion for that reason. It speaks to me of loyalty and morals.
To me, a person should only convert to another religion if that religion suits their spiritual beliefs.

I did change churches when my husband and I decided to marry. That was right for me. Our religions were not that different and it was very important to him. If changing means going against your beliefs, then no. I wouldn't do that. For instance changing from Catholicism to Judaism or vice versa would be very difficult, but many people have done it. Follow your heart, and good luck to you.
After reading your additional info...never mind, you don't believe in anything anyway. Please don't try to change your partner's mind and heart!

Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, if I was considering marrying someone, a different religion would be an excluding factor. Unless of course you are one who enjoys debate.

What does the old poem say? Goes something like this: "I would not love thee half as much had I loved not honor more." Of course my answer is heck no! I would never give up a deeply held belief to please anyone. That would be lying to them and to myself, and I don't believe in compromising ethics. Also, that would not be showing love for myself.

If I had a particular religion I would not.I would not marry an unbeliever either because that's conflict i don't need.so called loved ones come and go but your beliefs stay with you for life.

Please closely examine this before you do. Although my husband and I are both Christian, I changed to his church (Presbyterian) before our wedding. I was raised Roman Catholic. So now after 23 years when I want to go back to my childhood church my marriage is not recognized and my husband has no interest in having a Catholic ceremony. Best of luck and God's blessing whatever you decide.
