have you ever been in a mixed faith relationship where confronting your partner lead you to doubt yours ?

Question

have you ever been in a mixed religion relationship where confronting your partner about things that are important to you in your belief, and the impossibility from the other partner to make compromise in that field lead you to doubt about your own faith and get you to try to accept his point of view to save the relationship ...and then if you breakup in the middle of the process you find yourself balancing between the 2 faiths and unable to retrieve your spiritual identity for a while ..?

Answer 1

I the idea of confronting someone about my faith. I try to be open to exchanging ideas, and be as knowledgeable about my own. I've never had that happen to me.

Answer 2

You are supposed to be equally yoked with your partner. Mixing religions in a relationship is a recipe for disaster, there is no compromise when it comes to your faith. If you believe in Allah, you better keep believing in Allah. In different religions we are taught that ALL other beliefs are wrong therefore a non believer of your religion is going to have some very convincing arguments to get you to question your own faith. There are some contradictory things in every religion which is where FAITH comes in to begin with.

You will find your way again and God will direct your path. Its probably a good thing you broke up though because if this relationship had resulted in a marriage, the next fight would've been how to raise the kids. Its just not worth it.

Remember, you and your partner must be equally yoked.

Answer 3

Must be a complicated situation to be in really. I view my faith as just that. I believe in God, I walk in faith as best I can but it is a personal relationship that I have. It goes way beyond religion its a loving relationship. I think everyone would benefit from remembering that more.
