No. It will be my daughters' choices what they want to believe and who they want to be with.
The only time I would intervene would be if I truly thought the boy would harm one of them.

Depending on the religion.
Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian,Methodist or any religion that believes in the trinity and the Holy Bible would be fine.
Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Muslims or any cults would DEFINATELY get my blood boiling a bit lol.
However, I would hope that we raised them to know the truth and be a bible believing Christian. But that is a personal choice, and IF they chose another religion I would love them just the same. And I would pray VERY hard that they see the truth and the truth would set them free.
I am not saying that any people within this group that belong to any of the religions I mentioned are bad people. They are good people, I just disagree with the doctrine. So nothing personal, and I am not attacking anyone. Just answering the question above.

Only if that person was a rabid fundie for their religion...
I don't have kids yet, but I hope to encourage diversity in my future household.
I don't like the idea of sharing the dinner table with someone who is intolerant or cruel... but aside from that, I have open ears.
I am Buddhist, but if my kid wanted to practice another religion it would be ok with me... after all - the concepts of peace, karma, non-violence and right thinking transcend religious dogma.
So my child will be prepared to be the best person they can be no matter what path they take to get there.

I would not be upset, but as people grow older, religious things can become more important. This can cause difficulty when it comes to "what religion will we raise our child in?"
I would just try to make them aware of the issues to come.

I would worry if he pressured her into his way of thinking, whether it be about religion, politics, culture, brand names, etc. That would be a trait of an abuser.
I have taught her to think for herself and I would be happy if she found happiness in someone with different beliefs than her own. I would just hope that she knows the boundary between compromise and getting walked on.

One obvious agreement you should have before marrying is the church your children will go to. It is preferable that you settle this issue well in advance. The catholic believes in ecumenism, that is being open to all religion, there is no need for anyone to change religion, the religious practice of each of the couple can continue, although it is preferable if they can have unity in the practice of faith as this will benefit the children.

If they're serious about it and they care about the person, no problem. Most modern day religions have at least one thing in common: they recognize love as love despite the two people sharing it.

I wouldn't like the situation that much if the person didn't celebrate Christmas but I certainly would always make them feel welcome and I'd never get upset about it unless they tried to take Christmas away from their children. I celebrate Christmas as a time with my family. We are not religious at all.

I wouldn't want my child dating someone from a religion that officially classifies them as a 2nd class citizen. For example, I wouldn't want my daughter to date a Muslim. Other than that sort of thing, I wouldn't care.

If it involved a cult I would worry otherwise relax . Just because you have chosen your religion doesn't mean it is right for your child. Let them explore and make the decision for themselves.

I am now 20 years old and I love a man from Cairo, though I am from Russia - Moscow..Of course all my relatives would be against marriage and so on..And I'll have to make a serious decision..
Frankly speaking, if I were a mother it will be shock for me
