Yeah, it does. Different religions usually mean fights later after marriage, right? Can't decide which religion to follow... the husband's or the wife's?

it can but there is a way 2 get over that, let the child choose! I basically meant before you get married, even the ceremony would start a fight because the other church would not let you in because they sometimes see pagans as devil worshippers, we are not, we are people to

i think it depends on how good you are with compromising something with your partner. if you`re up to it or you`re not. as for me i`m catholic and my boyfriend is buddhist and sometimes we get into lil arguements about things but we work it out or just drop it so no one gets offended. but if you really love someone i don`t think religion or anything would get in between it.

To me, your question is kind of confusing so I'll answer it best I can. I think you're talking about a relationship before marriage and yes it could change your chances. Of course when you find someone you really like or even love, you'll have to learn how to compromise and learn how to sacrifice some things. So if the emotions and relationship is strong then everything should be okay, not smooth sailing, but workable. But if you both are stuck in your ways then you probably won't be able to have a relationship with that person.

me too but, if you love the person enough, and you are willing to compromise, then it will not be an issue. date who you want. if they dont want you for your religinn, they aren;t worth your time |

 All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream Group: Member Posts: 196 Joined: Mar 2005 Member No: 115,956 |
Well, religion caused a huge issue in my relationship over the past while. I've been with the guy almost 3 years..and he beleived fairly similar to me through most of it. But he's Christian..and strong into the bible. And I was/am spiritualist..psychic..all that..even a bit wiccan. And he didnt mind that, but the problem was that because I believed 'against' a lot of what the bible said I'd get into heaven for..It would mean I was technically sinning and wouldn't get in at the end. And he said he loved me so much, but he couldnt deal with the idea of losing me in the end in heaven. o.o'
'That' is a good example of how religion can cause problems in relationships. Other than the obvious fighting. |

Religion can cause problems, but I think most of them can be worked through.
It really depends though. For example, I wouldn't marry someone if they weren't Christian because the Bible says not to be 'yoked together with an unbeliever'. That is just me though. |

Okay, >_>...I'm not trying to be all bible quoting here and stuff..But I just wanted to clear that up. It doesnt say not to be with someone who doesn't believe. |
