Do you find it harder to marry outside of religion or race?

Question

Just saying because if I like someone who is Muslim and I'm not Muslim, It wouldn't work because I'm use to my ways and I don't think I could convert.

I don't date interracially or anything but I was just wondering because I think religion is harder than race

I know a girl who is (stricken) Muslim and she liked a Christian guy but it wouldn't work because her family would disown her unless he converted, they are both black.

sorry I meant "strict muslim"

True, I'm not saying DATING I'm saying MARRAIGE.
Think about it, if you REALLY believe in God(like I do) you couldn't even consider marrying someone of strict Hindu, Buddhist religion even if they are same race as me.

Whereas with different races you may have EVERYTHING in common BUT RACE.

Answer 1

it is much harder to marry "outside of your religion."it will always be an issue esp. for the believer.

Race is no big deal....it doesnt affect the way you lead your life. religion has everything to do with how you lead your life....how you eat, when you worship, what holidays you celebrate, how you raise your children..everything.

im atheist and i always will be...there is no converting me...however im not interested in converting anyone to atheism. i date interracially...my last bf was brazilian....thaat was sooooo much easier than dating this guy(he was never my bf...thank goodness) who was a baptist christian. he really started to irritate me...i mean he just would not stfu about god, the bilbe and everything.

my bf however was catholic but like he never imposed it on me, he really didnt go to church. it more like his family was catholic but they didnt worship and pray if ya know what i mean...

so from my experience dating outside of my race was way easier than dating outside of my religion..

Answer 2

Yes in general it is harder to marry outside of religion or race.
Most harmonious family can be reached ,if the husband and wife have the same race or at least the same religion with different race.They want to marry with the same religion,same language and same culture.But if I read in the news paper especially the chinese people want to marry the same race although their religion are different such as confusiu,buddha with christianity. or vice versa.In Indonesia there is a marriage law which prohibites the marriage between the 2 religions such as a christian with a muslim..

Answer 3

If people see only the difficulties in marrying outside their religion or race, then their challenges will most likely prevent their relationship or end it should it begin.

Neither has to stop a flourishing relationship from developing, it depends on the understanding of the two people.

Answer 4

It depends upon the circumstances. Some people have so many racial hang ups [or face so much racism] that they find it harder to marry outside of their race. But with others it's religion.
You don't have to marry certain people just because you believe in God. That's a personal choice. Who are you to tell someone they can't marry certain people if they really believe in God? That's twisted, sister.

Answer 5

I find it harder to marry inside of religion or race. Because i like varieties of people. Not the same old CRAP.

Answer 6

Outside of my race; I don't even have a religion

Answer 7

depends on the commitment to the religion or race

Answer 8

well, i am muslim and i think it can work for you to marry a muslim man, but from a religious point of view a muslim women shouldn't marry a non muslim man. but i think it can work, just depending on how religious you two are

Answer 9

You can't see religion. Race can be seen.

Answer 10
