God centered relationship

How true is the statement that if God or someone you think is the highest persona in your life (cuz I don't want to discuss religion here) is not the center of your relationship, it will never work? I might sound religious but I usually hear that statement. And I feel like, maybe my thoughts about relationship is the same too. I have that stigma if my partner bring me closer to him and not to God he's not a good partner. To be honest, I hate the idea of sex before marriage. I hate the idea of live in. Although I don't like it, I end up doing and end up caught in almost same scenario. It confuse me, that sometimes I feel like I'm losing my own principle. Because my partner does not consider the relationship with the Lord as much as I do. He never ask me to church that is not for a date purposes. Of course I cannot say that he's a bad person but somehow I feel like God is lacking in our relationship. He rarely talk about God. And everytime I'm advising him to lift his stressed life to God he's repulsive. I think somehow it affects our relationship. Do you believe that having same belief and relationship with God is a great factor too in building a relationship?

I think your expectations from a relationship are totally different than his expectations. You both are totally different persons with uncommon interests and hence, u r unsatisfied with your relationship.. U need a religious partner who shares your religious interests and sentiments to have that contentment you are looking for.. May be, this relationship is not for u.. Or if u really love ur partner, let him stay as he is and leave it on God to change him. To believe in him and love him like u do.. Miracles happen even today.

I still believe in miracles. I just hope that I'm not chasing the wrong star. What I mean is, not staying for him then later on regret it. I really need enlightenment when it comes to relationship and religion.

@Sweetsona Maybe we can share common sentiments. I usually feel like his dishonoring me if he doesn't honor my religion and my beliefs. Although he doesn't say anything bad about it, it irritates me whenever he does things seems against my beliefs.

@zaga_cleuth i can totally understand because i am deeply religious too. I cannot think of my partner not honouring my religious sentiments. Take your time and stay with him only if u think that he is the one for u..

That really depends. Having different beliefs could help you both grow. IF that is what each of you want, otherwise it could tear you apart.

You have a point. Differences is ok as long as both acknowledge it and willing to learn from it.
