no i'd keep my own because if you convert there is a bad chance your family will be angry with you and some people might put shame on you. If you were destined to be that religion from a young age i sujest you keep it because religion is a lifelong dedication and commintment you can't just divorce it like a marrige these days i mean if people will start doing that then people will start viewing it as nothing important just like they do on marrige now. Back then marrige was ment to be life long even through abuse now a days theres marriges that last two days ie. brittany spears. Please let her keep her religion unless she is willing to switch and her family is fine with it. Also you should think hard about what religion you should put your children officialy under. I mean you can teach them both, but they can only have 1.when you make this descision don't stress on it ... religion isn't everything.

Not I. I am attached to my faith.
If kids were likely to be part of the picture, then we would have to have a serious talk because it is a serious issue, but I lean towards my sister's solution (her husband is a different faith)--the kids were baptized the faith of the parent willing to fulfill their religious obligations. My brother-in-law said he would do it (& may possibly regret it now), so the children were baptized into his church--and he keeps up his side of the bargain.
Quite often, it seems to be the husband who "gives in", in my experience. If not on his personal religion, then when the children come along.

not unless I wanted to. as far as the kids, you need to REALLT discuss that before getting married OR having kids as to how the children would be raised.
I have heard of couples agreeing to go to a neutral or non-demoninational church, or of raising the girls in the mothers religion and boys in the fathers religion, or agreeing on one of the religions for all the children if the other parent was not too religious, or even sharing both faiths.
there are a lot of ways to get around this if you are willing to talk about it openly and honeslty BEFORE it becomes a problem

I profess to be a Christian, a Presbyterian, and the first time I got married my husband claimed himself to be "non-religious." It didn't bother me too much even though I had heard all that in church about people being unequally yoked. I just thought he would come around and he did go to church with me, but I always thought he didn't take it too seriously. The second time I got married my husband professed to be Christian, a believer in God. I always thought he was a believer and lived by those standards but he wasn't a churchgoer or talked much about his faith. Now I my boyfriend is someone who claims to be agnostic. I always tell him he will think differently later on in life. I do not think I would want to be married again unless I married someone of the same faith. And I think especially with children, that it is important that both parents have the same faith. There are some people of different faiths that just let their children decide, but to me it would be important that my children shared my faith.

Neither.
I am a Christian and my husband is a Jehovah Witness. My children choose their own Religion when they got old enough to. My oldest girl is a Christian, the middle one is a Witness and my son is a Catholic.
I did not force the children to follow in our religions, let them make up their own minds.

No. Religion is a very personal matter. I wouldn't change my faith for my husband and I wouldn't want him to change for me. Thankfully we agree with other on all matters of religion which makes that an easy subject of conversation for us. We also agree that our daughter will be the one to choose her own path regarding religion. You shouldn't force a certain religion or faith on another.

No, my husband is Catholic and I am an Eclectic Pagan...that wouldn't work, I do not want to be Catholic. As for our children we have let them experience different religions so that when they are older they will be able to choose for themselves what makes the most sense.

-No, a person religion is what they truly believe in. Only if I believe his religion is the true one, then I would take it. -

No, because I would be looking for a man who had the same religious beliefs as I do. That would just eliminate one big argument later.

Depends on the situation. Depends on what religion he belongs to. There are too many variables for me to say one way or the other.
