What do you think about Inter-religion marriage?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Depends on the religions. Some versions are just not compatible.

How can any belief that thinks other beliefs are an abomination be compatible? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It requires a strong level of respect more and above the basic respect you have for each other in a relationship.

There will be complicated discussions to have, which you need to be open to, you may have to resist community pressure and if you decide to have children that's another landmine.

But it can work out and I know of couples (Taoist/Hindu) who have made it work

Everyone has baggage of some sort or another. As long as two people can live with each others baggage, whatever it is, go for it.

💯 we heal and help each other unpack 🧳 🥰

It’s a personal decision.

A recipe for disaster?

It's fine. I think it takes a humble attitude, and a respect for each other to make it work well and celebrate both like one would with cultural identity.

Otherwise one is always going to be converting the other, or both never talking about religion at all.

If children come along who decides what they are taught?
Umile · 41-45, F
@WrngWlf It would probably be best to let them decide.

And if they're truly religious and good parents they won't push them.

Better off with no religion at all and let people marry who they want to

If you're extremely devout I can't see how it can work, especially if both partners seriously think the other one is destined for hell as a non-believer. How can you love someone who you think is damned because they have a different faith? If it doesn't bother you, then you can't be devout enough, and so religion itself and your faith become irrelevant to the relationship.
Fairydust · F
If too people love each other, it shouldn’t matter.
twistedrope · 26-30, M
Seems fine. Religion doesn't really imo prove a an issue until boundries start being broken. I have boundries and so do others. When we start breaking others boundries to impose our own... That is not a relationship its a hostage situation. It's awful.

I guess having a relationship with someone else usually doesn't need a religion that covers it. Can ruin the mood worst case. So I think, any marriage of two loving people is fine.
sylvsn59 · 61-69, M
It would probably depend on the degree of devoteness of each of the parties, the willingness to stand up to non supportive relatives/friends, an agreement on the children's religion.
nacnud · 31-35, M
Personally I wouldn't. There were people I could of dated when I was younger which I decided not to. Not an easy decision at the time but when I look at life now it was the right decision.

Oh but in your religion its haram. One has to convert if he or she wants to marry outside your religion.

However other religions do not have such strict restrictions I believe.
Lostpoet · M
I think it works as long as you don't fight about Ideology.
@Lostpoet What is the point of religion if you don’t fight for it?

SPOILER: there is no point
Lostpoet · M
@Adeptlinguist I don't understand what you mean. The point of religion is that there is a God(s) that we should all follow.
@Lostpoet If two people believe two different fictions, either those fictions matter to them or they don’t.

If they don’t matter, then there is no point.

They don’t matter (they are fiction) so there is no point.

I have seen those marriages work, but not if both people are serious about their religion. Success depends on compromise.
It's none of my business. Let those who wish to marry make their own decisions and choices.
Any religion marriage is a bad idea!

Why base your life and relationships on mythology?

I don’t think a marriage between a modern Isreali would work with someone who followed the God of the Psalms.
Indianboy · M
It is fine as long as both boy and girl are happy to be together and care less about the society.
It happens. Religion should never come between two people who love and respect each other.
Convivial · 26-30, F
Often not a good idea... The couple may get past it... The in laws? Not so much
in10RjFox · M
Absurd. They must quit their existing religion and form a new religion.
Bleak · 36-40, F
Not a good idea.

But inter caste marriages are easy.
@Bleak are they? In what societies?
Bleak · 36-40, F
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I guess in all societies where both the parties are completely aware of pros and cons of such marriages.
Tonydang · M
I was actually in one it can work sometimes but can be complicated also
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
Depends on many things including how deeply the religions are held
Umile · 41-45, F
Cool. Funny.

Cause one is always gonna try to convert the other.

🤣

A funny explosion about to take place

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Which religions?
Very few are successful
Tracos · 51-55, M
Fine by me
The bigger the devotion, the bigger the problem
Musicman · 61-69, M
A completely terrible idea.
