Would you change your religion in order to marry the person you love?

I'd marry someone who's religious, provided we love each other, but only if we previously agree on not trying to convert/deconvert each other.

That’s a really hard thing to do. I don’t think I could.

My take on it is if religious belief is more powerful than love to where it dictates whether you marry someone or not. there may just be other and possibly even bigger issues lurking. I knew a family growing up where the husband and wife went to different churches and had different beliefs, yet they managed to have a great family. They decided to compromise and still go to separate churches, and the kids were decided to be raised in one of the churches but still often visited the other. Religion was never an issue in that family. My parents didn't think much of that idea...then again they were members of yet another church and didn't think their churches were right anyway, so their mixing it up in their marriage and with the kids was just "another wrong" that they couldn't do anything about anyway so they just overlooked it. (Now you know why I'm not religious...). It's nice and great if you share the same or similar religious/spiritual beliefs, but it shouldn't be a deterrent to love, marriage, and happiness if you don't.

I mean sure. I'm an atheist though so I'd lie and tell everyone I'm converted but I'm not gonna go to church or anything. If they loved me I assume the only reason they'd ask me to do that is because of their family so they wouldn't care if I was earnest in my conversion.

Yes, i would. Love is beyond religion and boundaries. If i really love them, religion or such things don’t matter to me.

I wouldn't wanna marry someone who doesn't question obviously questionable things, but then nothing is determined perfectly in advance
Jibby · 56-60, C
Of course I would and of course I would be lying but it doesn't bother me to have to do that to get someone special.

It’s a little late in the game for that but probably not even in my younger years.

If a religion considers love as higher than the hate. I already follow that religion.

And if this is a precondition for marriage, it is not true love if it doesn't accept your faith.
Mahaq · F
I think thts not a need if you have love and understanding
You should follow ur own religion
Religion shouldn’t be a barrier in love
AngelKrish · 26-30, M
Depends on my mind! What i decide according situation!
SW-User

It was not possible at all, ☠☠☠
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
I would if it meant being with your true love

I don't have religion... I have Dharma (righteousness) in Hinduism! Hinduism is a way of living life!
Sanatana Dharma, which means eternal faith, or the eternal way things are (truth).

Foreigner called 'religion' to Hinduism but in our spiritual scripture there Dharma is not equal to Religion!

We use to live on Hind land so they started calling us Hindu!

So, i can't leave my Dharma (Righteousness) as it is part of my life, my soul, my heart, my culture!

I don't have one but yeah I would
AlmostAnAngel · 100+, F
Since I don't follow a religion no...I would not become a member of a religion .

Good question. I don't know how people do it at first place. No one can change them self it the change doesn't comes from with in. The reason why such relationships ends drastically. Why don't they seek like minded people rather than trying to be like minded.

no, as I am an Atheist and I think religion, what ever view, has a big influence on how you see the world and connect to people, especially someone you are going to marry

also changing from Baptist to Catholic, to me Isn't changing Religion, they are both sects of Christianity
in10RjFox · M
I will make changes to my religion to accommodate or create a new religion, but transiting to another is such a shame.

As long as the planets line up, they are a leprechaun and a Capricorn, they live at no 1212 on 12th street, everything should be good! A rabbit's foot and chicken blood is essential during the ceremony! 😁

I wonder people convert to islam to marry their lover
SW-User
I don't have one so it would be lies and pretence if I followed any religion.
JBird · F
If someone truly loved me, he would never ask me to accept his religion
TacoCat · 26-30, M
I don't have a religion so we good
Penny · 46-50, F
depends on which religion
Petlover04 · 36-40, F
@Penny which religion you do not want to go?
Penny · 46-50, F
@Petlover04 any religion that tells you what kind of clothes to wear.. bahai, no, jehova's witnesses no, any form of islam, no, satanism, no. i think i am open to all other religions, at least that i can think of right now. he'd have to be extra special for me to convert to wiccanism though it would probably be fun.
No. It doesn't work that way. Hbu?
Jibby · 56-60, C
@juiceyangel333 of course you will get used to being Roman Catholic. And you will also be putting money in the basket every Sunday for me as well so start saving sister
juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F

Jibby · 56-60, C
@juiceyangel333 I'll give you 333 reasons that's why
