A religious conversion should be based on something internal, not an external pressure like trying to please a future spouse.
It would be a good idea to find out about your future spouse's religion since, like it or not, it will probably be a part of your life for a very long time.

Relationships and raising a family are hard enough. Families where two spouses have different religious beliefs either end with one side subjugating or with the children raised with nothing at all.
I would rather avoid the situation entirely. As such I only date those with similar religious beliefs.

I personally wouldn't. I'm not going to convert to a religion that I don't believe in.

No, I would only convert my religion if I felt that I was led to convert by God. I would not convert just because it would make a marriage easier. When we decide to marry someone we should make sure that we are equally yoked.

No. Religion is a highly personal matter. If you are willing to convert on your own free will, go ahead, but no one should ask you to convert; nor should you feel you are obligated to convert.

Nope, I'm gonna marry a Baptist. I want to marry someone who believes the same as me, and if he only converted to make me happy, then it wouldn't be cause he believes it too.

My husband is Christian, and I tried to follow him. I went to his church, actually, sometimes I go with him, more to please him, than to please myself. My religion is Spiritism. I have asked him to do the same for me, come to my meetings, and he never did. So, I didn't change my religion, but I am more flexible than he is. I am more able to make him happy, than he is...
It is OK. we had problems before, but things have been better lately. He has respected the way I think a little bit more. Especially after my daughter saw spirits around here. Which is a natural phenomenon in my point of view.
Peace!

No, because the bible says that anyone who places their spouse or personal feelings above God is not worthy of him.

No, I could not do that. And I would not marry someone who expected me to convert or who did not respect my faith.
