What is your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife's religious beliefs?

Answer 1

My girlfriend was an agnostic for a long time, and didn't like organized religion. She only comes to my church if I'm doing something special musically (I work with the church music, and occasionally do special numbers). She'll come just long enough to hear the music, and immediately afterward walk out the door and leave. But then, she got interested in a religious movement called Eckankar [http://www.eckankar.org] and sometimes attends their meetings. She told me from the beginning that she'd never join my church, and if I didn't like it, tough. Anyway, I completely respect her right to pursue her spirituality as she wishes, and she has no problem with my being religious, as long as I don't ask her to convert. I've attended meetings with her in several different spiritual groups so I could learn more about what she's into and understand it better. I need to support her and show interest in what she believes spiritually, whether or not it matches my own religious preferences.

merely my opinion = first question - why do you think of that one has something in any respect to do with the different??

Answer 3

He was raised a Christian (his father is a Methodist Minister) but his beliefs are much closer to Buddhism than Christianity. Especially given that he agrees with me there is no god. His dad isn't too happy but accepts it.

Answer 4

i've vowed to try to dating Christian's and leaving the athiests to help. dating a non believer always puts a gap in the relationship that ends up bringing the Christian down on their beliefs. like a game you can play: a Christian stands on a chair, and a nonbeliever stands on the ground. no matter how hard the Christian tries to pull the athiest up on the chair with them, its always easier for the non believers to pull them down.
