different from you? Was it difficult to maintain the romantic relationship?

Does the religious difference make you: love him/her -more/less - or give him/her up?

Thanks.
It's all about: Can love be enough to bridge even religious differences between two people who are so passionate about what they believe in?
Wow, some people are spiritually romantic! Awesome... =D!

When two beings and souls find each other amidst the mass populace - find enough reason to be with each other despite the hardships and whatnots - it's called Love!
High-strung-guitarist: You didn't give up, you just simply have to let go... Letting go of somebody doesn't mean you love her less, in fact - you loved her so much that you're willing to sacrifice the very thing that makes you happy - for her sake.

Awww, ='( ! Spiritual connections with people are hard to find these days.

 

Yeah, I already tried that, and look where it got me: one furious evangelist father trying to protect his daughter from the "evil plight of bisexual relationships". Ultimately, that ended in a restraining order... for little reason whatsoever, but to satisfy the cruelties and very restricted lifestyles of a very pro-Christian-law township...
Hell, I did love her for who she was, but apparently that was wrong and out of order.

I can say that I seek people for their personalities, but alas; do they seek my personality, instead of my religious/lifestyle stance? Or do they judge by limits such as the condemning of a harmless sexual orientation? I wish they could have set aside those differences... but they didn't. Thus, a conclusion arises: No, I cannot lightly consider a relationship with spiritual and religious differences.

 

If she is good looking enough...

 

But everyone's different from me, even if we are of the same faith. What do I do?!

 

Yes this is possible.

There are thousands of such marriages that happend in india,
but it needs very deep love and commitment to fight all odds.

 

It is possible but there has to be compromises...

Either ones religion cannot be absolute or it will never work.

 

It depends upon the degree of difference and if the other person expects you to engage in the religious activities. I have no issues with other belief systems but I have zero tolerance for someone trying to convert me.

 

My wife was something of an enigma when we met. I couldn't tell if she was a believer in God or something else. She had some strange ideas about spiritual things, but she never really articulated any idea of faith or belief in a god or God.

It's been 26 years since then, and she does believe in God. We just don't discuss it too much. When she has a question about something she doesn't understand in the bible, I'll either explain it or tell her "I don't know; let me find out the answer for you"

We haven't had any problems concerning religion at all.

 

Never!!! It would be like pairing the gunpowder with a flame. It's goona go up in smokes.

 

Unless, both understood one should not interfered with the others religion or believes, then it is OK to get involved.

But if one hide the insidious motive to first capture the other person, then try to convert the them after, may lead to a big problem.

At times, it could also become successfully convert the other person, but there will internal strides, until all dusts settled.
