You dont have too. before i got married i made it very clear to my husband that i had my own belives and i respected his too. And that i would be attending my church and i didnt expect him to go, so not to expect me to go to his. The only thing is that if i do something wrong he will tell me "i thought that is againt your religion" so there is a downside.... when im in church ALONE i sometimes feel bad that he doesnt believe what i belive in.... it could get hard in you..... but dont change your faith just because of marriage.

I'm Catholic and got married to another Catholic in the Church. Later he divorced me. (I tried everything to make it work) I am now open to marrying someone of a different Christian faith because I refuse to go through the Catholic annulment process. I do not want to relive all of the hurt and humiliation that occured. So to answer the question I am not ready to change my religion, but I am much more open-minded about my faith than I was before.

Nope. Religion and Politics aren't negotiable. Marrying a smoker isn't either, and if the guy is supporting a raft of kids by another marriage, is a drunk, addicted to drugs, computer porn, he as well would be eliminated. If he weren't educated, he wouldn't qualify...
Hon, pick a guy with your head as well as your heart.... by eliminating obvious items you cannot agree with, you increase the chances that your relationship will survive to be long and happy.... If you make stupid mistakes, look at all these questions on here.... they could be you.

IF you'd be willing to "change your religion".. then you aren't a true believer of your religion in the first place, so I guess it just wouldn't matter anyway.
But...
If you ARE a true believer of all your religion professes, then marrying someone who doesn't believe as you do would be a DEFINATE mistake.
Once the children come along, your conflict will be humongous.

If you are to change your "religion" then you probably never actually believed in what you believed in to begin with. That is the danger with religion.

well, i converted from one religion to another, 10 years before i married my ex. that didn't work, religion notwithstanding. i'm now with someone else, who treats me like a queen, but, he's a different religion. he had converted for his ex, which also didn't work out, religion notwithstanding. he's not interested in changing for me, and i'm not interested in changing for him, so - each of us respects each other, and our beliefs and practices. and, we're together 6 years now, no major arguments, no major disagreements, no fights - heaven!!!

I would imagine not. I was not a practicing Catholic so it didn't matter that my wife was with an Anglo Church.
If your family is devoted to their faith and you switch to another, you risk offending the whole family and they will view the wife as culprit.

I wouldn't marry someone who did not have similar beliefs as I do. This would be discussed LONG before marriage was discussed.

Organized religion is the root of all evil. Believe what you want, but respect other people's beliefs too.

Only if they happen to be a rich and famous artist. Other than that anyone else can go to hell.
That is of course if that happens to be a place of eternal damnation in their religion.
