If so, what about a guy who would change his religion for the sake of his girl? Is that a rash decision or deep love?

Love = Sacrifice. I know a lot of people who converted religions for the one they love.

Sometimes sacrifice is made for love, more often compromise...however those both also apply to love of family and friends, not just romantic love.
If someone changes his (or her) religion for love, then that just shows the person didn't have very strong feelings about their religion to begin with. Quite often it's not really a "change" at all (nothing happens in their heart) but a claim of change so they can be with that other person if religion was standing in the way. Rarely have I known such changes of religion to end up that the person who switched turns out to be an avid follower of the religion they switched to.
Is it a rash decision? Depends on how seriously they take religion.
Is it deep love? It's some level of love or dependance...I mean, they likely wouldn't do it for someone they didn't care anything about, would they?

Yeah, love is about making sacrifices. But then you can't expect them to change everything and sacrifice the things that are dear to there heart. If that what love is, then why can't the girl change her religion for the guy. The relationship is equals, you both have to compromise and come up with things that work for the both of you.

I believe when you truly love, and really want to be with someone no matter how different they are, what differences you may have you wont even hesitate to change something about yourself, or what you are into for the other peron, but I also think that if you love them that much when it comes to certain things like religion it shouldnt matter unless its what they really want. there is always going to be changes in relationships, and its not about sacrtifice, its about how much you care for eachother, and yes sometimes you do things that may seem like a sacrifice to some, but its really not. Nothing can ever be considered a sacrifice if your doing it to better the relationship, and you both agree its for the best.

Love can mean sacrifice; however, I think that it shouldn't be necessary. But if someone is truly ready to change his/her religion for someone, I think it's both rash and deep; it means person is serious, despite the fact that it could be desperation. I'd want to spend more time with that person to be sure.

love- hmmmm gotta love LOVE! love is not sacrifice The definition of love is the subject of considerable debate, enduring speculation, and thoughtful introspection. Some tackle the difficulty of finding a universal definition for love by classifying it into types, such as passionate love, romantic love, and committed love. However, some of these types of love can be generalized into the category of sexual attraction. In ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself. therefore the guy just wants to make the peace with his woman and he probably doesnt care about his religion that much but on the other hand if he did care about his religion and he changed it for her that isnt love that is compromise to make the peace.

Love means compromise about all important decisions. If a person is willing to change his/her religion for their significant other, that's a huge compromise, and yes, I believe a deep love too.

Depends on the situation. If they have been together for some time and there is a deep bound, then it's love.
If they have only been together for a few weeks, then it is just a rash move.

He isn't very devoted to his religion and may not stay devoted to the girl. Love is full of sacrifice, but sometimes it is agreeing to disagree and that would be more appropriate in the case of religion.

Love isn't about sacrificing. It's all about compromise. You need to find the common ground that will make you both happy when you disagree about something.
I don't think that people need to change their religion to be together when they believe in different things. If they chose to change for themselves, then that's fine. But they shouldn't change for their significant other.
