depends on how strong you feel about your religion, how much you willing to do so, how your family accpets this and how important doing this for him and etc.....you weigh these questions in your heart and decide. good luck!

I am in the same situation except his parents are the ones who would like me to be Jewish. I am not a particularly active in the Catholic community, but I still have my beliefs. I don't think I should have to change and you shouldn't have to either. He fell in love with you and not your religion.
Hope this helps.. its the first time I've answered anyones question.

My wife and I do not share the same religious beliefs. It isn't a problem because part of love is respecting each others beliefs and opinions. We each have too much respect for the other to expect a change.
In any close relationship, it could be just friendship, it is unreasonable to expect the other to do what you are not prepared to do yourself. If he expects you to change religion but will not consider changing himself, this is really rather one sided and intolerant, which is, of course, the mark of any good religion.

only if you feel that you becoming Jewish will better your spirituality. If you feel strong to Catholic church, don't change it. Your finance should be able to understand how you feel and ask him what you asked him to change from Judaism to Catholicism. If you don't practice Catholicism too seriously, start going to Temple with him and see if it's something that you can start believing in.

You can't change religions like changing your socks, ya know? If you're raised in one religion, you'll probably always have that in the back of your mind. I don't think this is a good thing, especially since he's so adamant. Why do you have to change? Would he consider changing? Is he saying that his religion is right and your's is wrong?

No , I would not. And how could you deny Christ. Don't you know that Jewish people don't believe in Christ as gods son. They are still waiting for the Messiah.Better yet , make him convert . or you both find someone else in your own religion.

absolutely, without a doubt, positively NO WAY!!!!!!
Don't do it, if he cannot accept your differences when it comes to religion, don't fool yourself into believing it will end there......
People should marry when they are on the same page to begin with, changing for anyone other than yourself is hopeless and a waste of time, someone is gonna be resentful down the road if you go through with this hun...

If your open to changing religions I don't see a problem, if not, why not be both. For example, some times you both go to mass and other times you go to the synagogue. That's called compromise, anything else is just selfish. What else is he going to ask you to change ????

yes don't do that . sorry but Jewish people although the chosen people of god still must accept Christ as there Savior or they will not go to heaven . would you really prefer hell and a few moments on earth with him or Christ and eternity in heaven

It depends on how you look at religion. I am a Christian and I believe with all my heart and soul that when i die i will be in heaven with Jesus. I know the bible is true and it isn't something i believe in because my parents did... It is something that defines me and why i live and for whom i live, and it is not something i would change for anyone... I wouldn't even date a guy who didn't love Jesus the way I do... Because it would compromise your faith in someway or his...
