Is religion part of the argument in your marriage?

Wow...am not sure what I would do if i was in your shoes, but this reminds me to iron out our differences with my partner while still courting

do you live with or near your in-laws? if they don't allow you to take your kids to sunday mass, do you join them when they worship? if you're not allowed to celebrate christmas, do you join them when they have special days to observe or celebrate?

oh ,that's sad. This is the common problem which arises if two different religion people get married. Obviously children are the ones who suffer.

My husband is a Catholic, I am a Protestant. We have no problems. This is mainly because we both don't believe in institutionalised religion.

Sadly religion has divided us as we highlight the differences of the different paths. There is no end if we just argue as god remains unseen but there is only one creator. And children get torn between different faiths of the parents. It is best to practice our faith for our own peace of mind - siva

Religious arguments are common here when their are marriages between religions. In fact, here many people are against such matches, but things are changing for good. I think everyone should respect each other's belief and there won't be any issue.

When I was married my ex-husband and I had disagreements about my faith in Christianity. He considered himself to be atheist. I loved the church I went to and he eventually went with me and my son went when we were still married. My ex-husband never developed the faith I have always had but he liked the church and people.

I think it is not a problem. Religion's beliefs should not be the reason in a marriage. I mean before going to get married the difference in religions should be agreed between the two couples.

No. When choosing my marriage partner I made sure to pick a mate who had the same faith. Only one of my children followed our example. Our other children who married outside the faith are now divorced. Needless there are no arguments. They didn't stay together long enough. How would I deal with religion arguments in my marriage? I wouldn't argue at all. I stand where I stand. The Bible instructs a wife to persuade her unbelieving husband by having a meek and quiet spirit. I Peter 3

I am Catholic and my husband is not, we have no problems at all. We do not believe in religion as an Institution, we have our own believes and we use our brain.

Honestly, that sounds ridiculous. If you are in your own then you should be able to pray and set up whatever you want and it shouldn't matter what your in - laws want if it isn't their house. My boyfriend and I are different religions and even though we aren't married we don't fight about religion because it isn't important or a main thing in our relationship. I don't see any religion as being the reason we are together because I am the one putting in the hard work for it to work out and gave him the second chance when he messed up. He knows that I am not the same religion and he is okay with it. He told me he wished I believed the same but he understands why I don't and that I am free to believe in whatever I want to. He is allowed to go to church or pray or set up stuff in the house whenever he wants just like I am allowed to do as I want concerning religion. Plus the in-laws on both sides stay out of it because it is not their relationship or their business. I would be very unhappy in a marriage like that and probably wouldn't be in it long if I couldn't express my beliefs and feeling equally like he/they can. He and I have also already talked and agreed that when we have kids we are going to teach them about all religion options and let them make their own decisions on what they want to believe. They are their own person and they shouldn't be forced to believe in something they don't agree with or be in fear of what will happen if they don't believe a certain thing.
