No, I wouldn't. Religion is a personal thing that you shouldn't be forced to change. I'd rather find another person to love than pretend to believe something I don't. If the person really loved me, they wouldn't care what religion I was and would deal with the fact that we have differences.

this may well be a factor of rivalry while one tries to alter the different or substitute who they're to healthy the different companion until now you're married or have little ones. it is often ultimate to marry interior of ones faith. there is no longer something extra significant than ones faith in God. the guy who needs to alter you won't be your soul mate. purely God can substitute hearts and lead human beings into the single real faith and way of worshiping Him in Spirit and actuality. i think of leaving in the back of ones faith in the call of affection is the two an admission which you under no circumstances rather had that theory in the 1st place or you like a individual extra desirable than your God. The Muslim ideals are rapidly adversarial to the Catholic ideals. How might you enhance your little ones? Grandmas and Grandpas on one ingredient coaching the single and on the different ingredient coaching the different so as which you would be able to besides provide all of it up for the single international faith which would be ruled by the anti-Christ and to try this you will could desire to reject the elementary tenants of the Christian faith; Jesus became into the Messiah, Jesus became into Deity, God in the flesh, Jesus died on the go the desirable sinless sacrificial Lamb of God to make amends for the sins of the international, He rose returned the 0.33 day and there is no different call given decrease than Heaven wherein we could desire to be saved. devoid of that, you have no commencing up of religion upon which to construct that's no longer a sandy one. build on the Rock.

No. If someone insisted that I become their religion I would take it as a sign that I should consider getting out of the relationship. They really don't want you to have your own mind.

No. I didn't convert when I married my christian husband. If one loves you that much they will accept you as you are without asking you to change.

No, I would pray for them to convert to Christianity.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there for righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion is there for light with darkness? 15 And what agreement is there for Christ with Belial? Or what part is there for a believer with an infidel? 16 And what union is there for the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, just as God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 17 Therefore "Come out from the midst of them and be separated," says the Lord. "Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you." 18 "I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty."

No.
Reason ?
a Christian should not date or marry an unbeliever:
"Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?" (2 Cor. 6:14-15).
Unfortunately, some Christians hope that they can convert the person he/she is dating or marrying. They often think that their spirituality is strong enough and that they can witness to, or motivate the other person to convert through their patience and love. Why do they think this? Three reasons: They love the person and are emotionally blinded, they are naive, and they do not know God's word.
This may sound harsh, but something as serious as marrying an unbeliever needs to be dealt with properly and to-the-point. We are not to compromise the will of God and endanger our spiritual well being. All we need to do is look in the Old Testament to see why God says not to marry unbelievers. This is what God said to the Israelites.
“When the Lord your God shall bring you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and shall clear away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you, 2 and when the Lord your God shall deliver them before you, and you shall defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. 3 “Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. 4 “For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods," (Deut. 7:1-4).
The reason not to marry an unbeliever is that he/she can influence you away from the Lord. Don't be so naive to think that "you" will never fall. It happens all the time.
Children
If you marry an unbeliever and have children, how will it effect their spirituality to have the parents divided over spiritual things? Is it a help or a hindrance to their spiritual health? Obviously, it is a hindrance.
Unfortunately, too many people do not take into account the extremely serious situation of children and their eternal destiny. Yet, because of "love" and because they listen to the hearts over the word of God, many people marry unbelievers anyway...and often suffer dire consequences.
What if you are already married to an unbeliever?
If you are already married to an unbeliever then you need to love him/her as best you can, set a good example of being a Christian as you can, and pray for your spouse's salvation. You cannot leave your spouse (unless there is physical abuse, adultery, or if you are abandoned). You need to stick it out. Seek the Lord.

That's a good question.
Probably not.
My reasons? I love my husband despite our differences in beliefs and as long as there is no conflict between you and your mate, there is no reason why anyone should have to convert to another faith just because their mate asks them to.
If you love someone, that means you accept them, no matter what their beliefs are.

Not me!
Because in this case, I would actually be worshiping the person I’m in love with & want to marry, not her God. & to me God is more superior than anything & deserves higher priority than anything!

No, why should it be necessary??? In some religions, it would be very good, if you were of the same faith, but in most, it would matter little. It sounds like you are going with a Catholic?
