May the gods bring you peace.
The question you ask is a difficult one. The situation presents several interesting possibilities. You need only be concerned with one.
Christianity is an evangelical religion; seeking converts is the point of Christianity. Being Hindu means that you realize there is no need for converts. The problem is not one of religion, but rather one of intolerance. Hindu is tolerant. Christian is not.
It is very difficult to struggle against culture or religion.
May I suggest that you simply remain a Hindu and learn to assimilate what you may of Christianity? You should understand that you will be alone in your understanding. You should understand that you will be alone in your compassion. You should understand that the Christian god will accept nothing less than a full acceptance of Jesus Christ as the only Savior of the souls of mankind. You should understand that Christian's have a limited concept of time and an unlimited concept of moral rigidity.
The Great Soul, the Mahatma, once said that he would have been a Christian had it not been for Christians.
Please, carefully consider that you are about to give up your life, your culture, your religion and yourself for a people who will never trust you.
Pray. Consider. Decide.

I think the issue people forget is that the families are not marrying each other it's just these two people getting married. At the end of the day it is your sister and her husband ho have to live with these issues. My personal belief is that people of different religious views should not marry each other, because it becomes a major conflict in the future. As for you, you will not be obligated to deal with these people at all, after the wedding you don't have to ever see them again if you choose not to. You are not marrying into their family, it is only your sister who is.

Just be able to explain yourself intelligently and thoroughly when and if questioned about your beliefs, morals values etc. With luck your husband to be's family will understand that spirituality is a very personal thing, if you're a good person, you'll have no problems. As an Atheist, I've had to really deal with that with my husband's father, he's really into christianity, yet can accept what I believe because I can explain why I believe what I do.

Just go into it with an open mind. Since you're marrying into a Christian family, it seems as though they have raised their son to be open minded as well! View this as an opportunity for them to get to know your religion and culture and I'm sure they will reciprocate. I am a Christian and I've had many friends of many denominations and religions and we all believe there is a higher power and you must treat people as you would treat yourself.
I think that you'll do fine and best wishes to you both!

Most Christians only believe in one God who is one god in three persons. That's one thing I can say. It's pretty damn confusing to me. Oh and the three persons are the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit.

....honestly honestly.....you don't have to adjust....I mean you belive in what you believe and they believe in what they want to believe. You don't need to change what you believe in.....they should accept you for whatever religion it is that you choose. Just as long as you respect their religion and they respect yours you should be fine. You shouln't be forced or feel that you are being forced to adjust to a certain religion. Everyone thinks diferent....but as long as theirs respect your marriage should be fine.
-good luck!

if they are practicing christians,they should be happy, and even eager to share their beliefs with you.. the christian faith is based on unselfish love ,and service to others.it is very nice and thoughtful of you to want to educate yourself about your future families ways of life. just let them know that you respect them and ask questions about their christian beliefs and culture. best wishes

depending what kind of christians they are..they should accept you for who you are, though they will try and make you convert maybe..it all just depends on how deep their faith and believes are.goodluck.
