We only have one God and religion is just a way of having practices and beliefs that would glorify the man above. It is important to both partners that love and communication must be in the middle of their relationship. However, some conflicts might happen in the future such as the religion of their child, where to baptize them, or even where will be the church you will have your marriage. But still a good communication and also a mutual relationship can solve those conflicts.

Sometimes things may be more complicated. Especially as a woman, may her hunsband's parents forbid her original belief and ask her to become his religion.

Yes there are some religions that don't allow marriage with a different religion. So the partner needs to be converted first before they proceed with the marriage, if that will be the problem, any of them could be converted as long as they will do it not because for the marriage but because he/she agrees with the religions practices and beliefs. Because if the relationship fails, there will be no regrets that you converted because of marriage.

I cant agree to the point that one has to give up their belief of God.They can ofcourse marry people of different religion.Thats a good thing to bring in unity.But I dint think that one has to stop believing or respecting their God and start believing in the other's God.I would say that its just mere pretending.
If one can do that,it means that he/she does not believe in God at all.If two persons truly love each other,one should not interfere and force the other to change their own belief.Thay should allow the other to continue with their oe=wn..

I think so.
and for it to work, I think it's very important that neither person should give up their own belief.
that can only lead to resentment. why should one person pretend to change what they believe in in order to please the person that claims to love them. (pretending, as I know I couldn't just DECIDE to change my religion. you can't just think, oh, I'll stop believing in my Gods, and start believing in Jesus instead. wouldn't happen)
if you love someone, then you don't want them to change their deep seated beliefs. it's a part of them.

Maybe somentimes we should learn how to respect the other's belief.

well i dont see why they cannot.. religion is just a way of reaching god.. aint we all taught that Gods are all the same entity.. religion are just different ways to reach the same God.. Anyways people belonging to different religions can have a successful marriage if they can adjust a little and tolerate a little and not try ti impose each other belief on their other half.

Actually i didnt think people with different believes can get marriage,but now i changes my mind,may be they will get frustrated or something really hard,only love can help them out and get a happy life =] And no one suppose to give up his own belief,thats not fair though!

It can be done.....I am proof.
growing up, my parents never really enforced church or any religon on us at all...and my husband grew up as a Jehovas Witness....LOL, needless to say when it is christmas around here we always butt heads on the issue, but we figure for the one or two holidays that drives him nuts a year, we still love each other and want to be together the rest of the year.
