How do you deal with TRULY loving someone that is a different religion and both parents don't agree with the relationship just due to religion...and the one you love wouldn't convert and you wouldn't as well?

I prefer not to mention the religions because something I do not want now is unnecessary negative religious criticism.

Well I would not marry some one of a different religion. You are just asking for problems. How will you rasie your kids- Oh I know you will let them decide how to live, because after all, children know best. How will you explain God? Death? You will have one answer your spouse will have another. What happens when one of you wants to honor the traditions of you religion and the other does not believe in those traditions. Like say that in you believe that boating on Sunday is wrong, but your spouse sees no problem with it, so they plan boating trip on Sunday? These situations rarely work out.
Remember you can't change the other person, they are who they are. You can't expect them to come over to your beliefs after you are married and they can't expect that of you either.
You really need to think of the situation and what effect it will have on your future children.
I would not do it. But I can say that with certainty, because, I only date people who are of the saem faith as me, then I will only marry a man who's level of commitment to our religion matches my level of commtitment.

If both ur parents are really religious concious.. may be she should convert or you should because you'll really love each other. If not, try explaining it to both your parents, convince them that your partner is your soulmate.
But i must warn you, i hv known many people of different religions who got married and it isnt a smooth sailing, but still it could work, anything is possible, stay positive!! Good luck!!

It's a really tough question and I'm not sure if there is a correct answer. If you're young, you may try to date other people with whom you share a common religion, particularly if you and your family are fairly religious. It is a form of glue that helps to bind a relationship. It is also easier to relate to someone who is already well versed in similar moral codes and conduct that are taught with each religion. There are exceptions to this, of course, but it could be difficult to align yourself with someone with whom you have built in turmoil. Life presents enough hurdles without that difference, so you may be well served to find someone of your religion or someone willing to convert to yours, or vice versa. Good luck in love and in life.

If you TRULY love each other, than the religion differences don't matter. My best friends parents are catholic and the other is jewish. They are completely happy althoguh neither of them would convert for the other. And if you truly love each other, eventually your paretns will see that and not focus as much on the religion aspect... or if they dont come asround you will still love that person enough to nto care what your parents think. I dont think you personally are at the spot of truly loveing that person... not yet you arent

If neither of you are able to just except the fact that your religious beliefs are different from eachother then it will never work. If you TRUELY love someone, it shouldn't matter what their religious beliefs are, you would find a way to work out your differences. As for your parents. If you are both grown adults then what your parents think is just that.. an opinion.

Why wouldn't you convert? did you ever watch seventh hevan? Matt ( whos dad is a minister or something and matt himself is really religious as weel) falls in love and marries a jewish girl (whos father is a rabbi) Matt converts to judisim for her because he loves her so much.
If one of you doesnt convert it will never work. what would you teach your children? what would you tell your parents?

This is a tough one! I know from experiance that parents can have a huge affect on your relationship which is tough cuz you want to respect them(hopefully) and stay good terms....but is it making you ruin the life you'd have with the person you love? I don't know, i guess it depends on what you feel is right, there is no set right or wrong but i feel for you, it sucks. good luck

there is in effortless words one God, and that God is Allah. Islam is the in effortless words genuine faith, and Muhammad is Allah's prophet. Jesus replaced right into a prophet as well, yet Christians are polytheistic heretics - he isn't any God. there is in effortless words one God, and by technique of turning a prophet right into a God you Christians have neglected the genuine faith. You shall all burn forever in hell on your heresy. That stated, Love is magnificent. Too undesirable you'll journey none...IN HELL.

ignore the religion. it doesn't matter what religion you are if you're in love. parents can get in the way but they can't stop you from loving each other.
