If you were asked by this question: "If you would have to change your religious beliefs, would you marry the man you love?" How are you going to answer? What's your stand regarding this?

hmm tough one i think it depends on how you feel you can not just simply switch your faith unless you truly do not belive what you say you belive. If that is the case i see no problem with changing

I see. My boyfriend and I are of different religion too. And sometimes, it's an issue. My parents always tell me to find a guy with the same beliefs as I have.

Actually i think i will just let him decide if what religion he want to join because what important for me is i believe in God and i'm following his words. Even i'm a sinner i just always trying to be a good person and good follower of Him. I'am married now, and what happened is my husband choose to join in my religion. But if he also ask me to join in his religion,it will be okay for me because all important for me is i really have a faith in God.

of course I wouldn't. if he would ask that of me, then I know that he doesn't love me, and he wouldn't be worth marrying anyway. my Gods, and my spiritual path are a very large part of my life. it's not just something I pay lip service to, it's a way of life. it shapes how I see the universe. without my beliefs, I would be a very different person, and it expecting me to turn my back on all that, they would be wanting me to become someone else. and that would prove that they don't love the real me.

An individual's religious beliefs is what makes the individual who they are especially if they are serious about their beliefs. If this person is expected to marry and their partner wants them to change then the partner does not care for what he has...or is it that without the religious belief that would make the person the perfect wife...if that is the case then there is a very important part of you that he does not want....your beliefs are what makes you who you are and what attracted him initially....people of different faiths can marry and be very happy without having to lose ones identity/beliefs. Tolerance is the key.

I will not marry the man I love if I would have to change my religious belief. It only shows that he is not worth marrying for. For me, God should come first above everything else and if he is so narrow minded and want to control me by asking me to change my religious beliefs then I think the man I love does not not truly love me for he has no respect with regards to my belief. This will only show his true colors that he just want to control my life and I don't want to commit my life to a person who wants to change me to suit his needs. That will only break a relationship.

To marry the man I love, he would have to understand that I'm ME. So, no, I wouldn't change my religion beliefs just to be married to him. My religion beliefs is an individual aspect of myself and if I were to change that for him, then I wouldn't be happy at all and if he really loves me, then he has to respect my choices and for who I am.
