do you consider entering in a relationship with someone who have different religion or beliefs from you?
or anybody of you have an experience already that you might want to share with us.

It would be fine to be in a relationship with different religion. For as long as both of you are spiritually growing. However, in my opinion, it would be best if both of you have the same religion. In that case, both of you are growing together with the same belief. How about you? Which one would you prefer, the same or different religion?

Well, I don't belong to any religion, but my previous partner was Christian. I didn't mind being with him as I respect everyone's preferences regardless of my own beliefs. He was the same as well and never tried to impose his beliefs on me. My current husband is just like me, doesn't belong to any religion. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, whether it's the same set of beliefs or not, as long as we love someone, we take them as a whole and their preferences has no bearing on our relationship as long as the love is present.

I would be totally fine with being with someone who doesn't have the same religion as me. I'm not a very religious person, but as long as they don't try to force theirs down my throat then all is good

I think there is nothing wrong with that. For me, religion doesn't matter for as long as we respect each others beliefs. I believe we worship the same God. In your case, would you give up your religion for him/her?

I would never change my beliefs for someone else. I think that would be very disrespectful of them to ever even ask me to do such a thing. I feel, things like that are what make us individuals and if you take that away, then we're just becoming the other person and that wouldn't be very fair

Some religions are diametrically opposed so that living together would be difficult at best. If you are in a dating relationship your religion may not be as much of an issue. However, if you have children together it could cause problems for the child. Some people decide to expose the children to both religions and let the child make the decision.

I have followed many religious sects.
I believe a person should take religion after researching. So I am always doing research & making changes as I feel are right for no religion exist in true form now I think. I might be wrong.

But essence is alive & there might be true followers.

I would prefer someone who have same religion as me especially if I have plans of marrying the guy. There are some religions that exist that don't allow marriage to other religion.

It would be best if couples have the same beliefs. Of course, there is nothing wrong if both of you have different religion. For as long as you accept, respect and understand each other, nothing else matter. The very important thing in a relationship is that God is the center of everything. Do you agree?

You guys brought up a good point. I bet it would be extremely difficult to have parents who have different beliefs! For me, growing up, my mom just pretty much tagged along with my stepfather and so we were Mormon, but then, she didn't have a religion really at all once they broke up. It was confusing for me..

yes I agree with this. The important thing is that a personal relationship with God.

but sometimes in our place, common argument with the family would be religion.

I would not want someone of a different religion because my faith is important to me, and I want to see eye-to-eye on things with my partner. If you are serious about your faith, then everything matters. I mean, think about it. How can you get along with someone who thinks premarital sex is a must while you believe it is wrong? That's just one small example.

I think being of the same religion just makes things easier. You'll have similar if not the same beliefs, but you shouldn't make religion the reason why you decide that you don't want to be with a person. Maybe one will want to convert.

I don't really believe that a person has to be converted because of the love to the other person. It's like deciding so wrongly, what happens if the couple breaks apart. will the other person, convert back to his/her old religion. beig converted to a religion should be a personal decision and not the decision of the partner's who's religion doesn't allow having relationship with other religions.

I think its ok to get together with someone from another religion, but when this comes to marriage it may be difficult for the children and what they should follow. Its more of an issues within Asian families, as there different traditions, languages and so on. Within the couple its ok as its their own understanding in love and being together, but if either one of the couple is very close to their family, a family traditional person then it would or may be slightly difficult for the other one to blend in or learn the traditions and culture.

In India its said that marriage is not just about the couple but about the family too, as weddings in India and not just India but Pakistan are very family orientated.

Of course not. No one should pick / change a religion to please someone else, be with someone else, etc. It is way too important for that. We are talking about God and your eternal soul here. If you are searching and you believe you have found The Truth, it is one thing; but if you just join a church because your boyfriend / girlfriend goes there, it is not the right reason, and such "conversion" probably will not last.
