Will you marry one having a different faith than yours? - Page 5

skysoldier · 09-11-2007, 10:22 AM

For me the difference in faith is not a problem, as long as you respect each others beliefs.

Difference in faith is never been a big deal to me.. What matters is how you love and respect each other.. and how you two make work things out despite of your differences..

No way on this earth i will marry someone outside my faith. I can fall in love with her but never marry her.

if i were to ask, i couldnt marry someone with different religion because, that would be a burden for both of you if you dont have a the same religion..

I almost did marry a Christian woman. But she could not accept me as I was. I was born into Islam and choose not to change it -only to enlighten it. By learning as much good as I can from other religions.

Anyhow, she wanted me to convert to Christianity. Thinking it was the only true way and everyone else was hell bound. I told her that I couldn't but I would attend her church out of love, but the relationship still ended.

same goes here, I've been with the man of a different religion before, honestly there is no problem between us, the only problem is their church that they have to force me to attend their mass and I couldn't help it co'z I am attending our mass too...you know my ex-hubby travels south and I am traveling north. it's kinda hard.

No. Marriage seems too complicated for me.

Marriage is not a crime so go for it.

I'm too chicken.

Yes. I'm afraid I'm too selfish and would spoil the relationship.

you're lucky indeed because you know where to stand, you predict what will happen to your relationship, most of the person didn't admit that they are afraid of commitment, but anyway if you feel that way nobody can blame you, you can sustain relationship even without marriage...

Keith, put it this way, when i believe in something i go all the way. Im 40 and im not gonna even have sex till i get married. My friends know this and respect it. I have friends from all different faiths and beliefs( even atheists, so please no rebuttal rankenstein lol), and yes i can have a friendship with her
but i could never get married to her. When i get married it will be in a church to a woman of the same faith as mine because i see it as putting god first, then my marriage second, meaning her being second only to god.

Its funny to see how people think its close minded, but first of all they wouldnt understand it because in my religion marriage is a sacrament of teh church(this is not argueable for me), second of all i see alot of atheists judging people that believe in god every day and moreso than other beliefs.

I respect all people, but i truely believe as teh song says, you got to stand for something or youll fall for anything.

Krahmann, im catholic yet i dont believe when or if i make it to heaven that i will only see catholics there. I believe that the god i believe in is an understanding god, and he knows our life experiences, and is less judgmental then most people in this world today

Yes. However, the thought of a serious relationship scares me just as much and for the same reason.

I'm just plain chicken. I'm the type of guy that dreams of the perfect woman falling right in his lap and knowing it'll probably never happen if I don't try hard enough. So I don't even try. Kind of pathetic really. Oh well ...

Jesse Vlasveld · 10-09-2007, 02:27 AM

I'd marry someone with a different faith then mine (not that I have one, but..), as long as they wouldn't try to force they're faith onto me.

ezhel · 10-09-2007, 11:21 AM

hahaha!nobody can blame you for feeling that way. as I've said marriage life is not easy is a long way to go, just like marathon, so I think maybe you are just afraid of commitment because you tend to enjoy things for a moment and after that you will jump to another one..hehehe
let me ask you something aren't you tired of roaming around with different girls?without looking or finding to have a stable one to take care of you for the rest of your life?
