can a couple with different religious beliefs survive?

Question

pro-choice, gay marriage, gay rising children

Answer 1

OK first, if they are in a homosexual relationship don't they have same belief?

Oh wait do u mean man & wife who beliefs about other people being homosexual?

Only if they can agree to disagree, if not the I doubt it.

I think people who get married forget that marriage is about compromise. Not just about religious beliefs but about daily life. If a couple is have problems that would cause them to divorce over religious believe it is most like spread into daily life as well.

About pro-choice
Because this is something that if the wife got pregnant could easily, i believe rip she a marriage apart if one party insisted on something being done. But, if is does not directly have to deal with them, the same as above.

Answer 2

If these two people are very strong in their beliefs and they both refuse to listen to the others reasoning or change their views or compromise, probably not. (It's more of a power struggle)
Religion is another reason that marriages break up, sometimes the beliefs are stronger than the love on another. When children get involved and then pick sides, it is a stab at the other parents religion and their heart (or ego).
The issues you've stated are more of moral upbringing and what is acceptable in today's society (the bible does not have a clear cut answer about this). A Religion, is more in depth than those issues stated and although important, it's just not the same.

Answer 3

Well it depends. Yes people with two different religions can get married if they have the same moral beliefs. The difficult part about it is raising children. When raising children couples must act and decide as one; if this is impossible with two different religions...no! I do not quite get the gay, pro-choice, gay raising children thing. Those topics are so sensitive and controversial that it would cause far too many arguments. How do you raise your children? saying its OK to be gay if one parent does not believe it? you can't. If the question is regarding morality...no the marriage will not work with out same morals!

Answer 4

Well, it depends. If both people are willing to be open-minded and accepting of each other's beliefs, or simply leave religion out of the relationship, then yes. However, if they are not willing to leave religion out of the picture, than it isn't worth it.

My dad is a devoted Catholic, and my mother left the Catholic Church when I was eleven. He has accused my mother of violating her marriage vows, supporting gay rights (surprise here...), among other "liberal" ideas, and has failed to respect her beliefs. They are still married, but I can't bring my partner over to their house, for example. They fight often, and I, personally, don't like being around them. My dad is often verbally abusive and doesn't treat me, an atheist, or my mother with respect. I don't recomend seeking this type of environment. Its hard enough to maintain a relationship without sacrificing religious beliefs or adding contradicting religious ideas to the mix.

As for the topics you listed. If people don't believe in "raising" gay kids, then first of all, they must realize that they can't decide what sexuality their kids will develop. Second of all, if they don't want their kid to be gay, then they better not have kids, because every child has the chance of being gay. Next, the idea of "pro-choice," I am assuming that this is either in reference to the idea that person chooses to be gay, as your other topics revolve around being gay, or it has to do with abortion. Primarily, I know I didn't choose to be gay, and I have very little control over that matter. So, if a person is gay or has gay kids, then they really need to get over that one without integrating religion. If you are referencing abortion, then I don't know what to tell you. If you support it or oppose it, don't try to bring it into the relationship unless it is necesssary, if you or your partner was to have an abortion.

Lastly, gay marriage, if you are gay, and don't support gay marriage than I don't know what to say to you. If you aren't gay, then it really doesn't matter. I believe you should support gay marriage, and I don't think it is worthwhile for you to waste your time undermining a minority. Support gay marriage, I want to be married someday :) ! If your partner doesn't, again, don't discuss it, its not worth getting divorced over.

Answer 5

the final alerts for relationship fulfillment are having comparable religious and/or political viewpoints. Race has no longer something to do with it, yet a Buddhist and a Christian would have problems getting alongside (nonetheless the training of the Buddha "ought to" be nicely matched with the training of Christ, this does not tend to artwork out relatively.)

Answer 6

I would say yes if they love each other and respect the others beliefs

Answer 7

if they can genuinely respect each other's differences, and agree on how to present each sets of views to the children, yes.

Answer 8

Sure. As long as love is understood & faith is strong. Any obstacles can be overcame

Answer 9

are you gay? What about men with pre-op trannies.

Answer 10
