Religeous Differences

'C'mere, babe- yer gonna get BLASPHEMED tonite!!!"

Without naming names let me say that I'm thoroughly relieved that I'm not in a committed relationship with some unspecified reviewers on here.

If the religion is more important than the marriage to cause the breakdown, then you should marry God, not your current spouse.

I dunno I really wouldnt see it as an issue because I believe in god but dont have a set religion and could care less what my hypothetical spouse worships or whatever. But some people take religion too far being fanatical and everything and i wouldnt want my hypothetical kids growing up into fanatics.

This is something people should figure out before tieing the knot.

I would have imagined this would have been something worth dealing with BEFORE marriage became a part of the picture.

You knew what they believed before you got married or you should have if it was that big of deal to you. I think if you keep an open mind, you can learn a lot from the different views/opinions of others. Nobody actually knows that what they believe is RIGHT! This is a stupid reason to get divorced. Communicate folks & keep an open mind.

Although(if practicing oppossing beliefs)it will begin with equivocal ecumenism but,conflicting principles and values if christian and non-christian will take it's toll.Unless one converts to the other's(belief) there will always be discomfort and debatable issues which makes married life that much harder,when alreadly it is clothed with much sacrifice.Ultimately,if one practices strict observance of their belief/religion/or creed then one must not commit to a contract of union if the other party refuses acceptance of your"ideal world"if you will. Love causes much delusion and one needs prudence to see the unfolding of hidden future events.Example:FR.BEAUMONT"JMJ,it is better that you marry your own,"...JMJ"yes,I know Father"...FR.BEAUMONT"because it will (interuption)"...JMJ"YES!I KNOW FATHER"...So against the wisdom of the priest I fall in love with a muslim...we marry(with flexible conditions) 18 months later JMJ"Father,everything's going wrong"...FR.BEAUMONT"what's wrong my son"......

If you are merely religious , then yeah, it doesn't really matter what form of piety you and your spouse take on (or off) as the situation dictates. You should get along just fine, as far as that goes, in your lukewarm environment. If you've never faced the Devil head-on, its because you are probably going in the same direction that he is. To be blood-bought , born again children of God is , by FAR, the most important trait that a couple can share

Religion is a personal thing, we absolutely don't need to agree with someone else, spouse or not, about our personal beliefs.

It dudn't matter. I'm a Roman Catholic and if my spouse were a Buddhist, it wouldn't bother me a bit.

Well a lot of us have married young, perhaps before we knew that we might someday decide to become religious. Especially after you have kids, religion sometimes takes on a larger role. Or as you get older. Its difficult being with someone who has no faith at all or no belief system. Its actually disheartening. Not a good thing.

I can agree with Goneaway about this. Know what you're getting into before you take the plunge. :)

This can be tricky.If both partners are spiritually advanced,it can be a blessing:you each have the opportunity to expand your spiritual knowledge through sharing your unique insights.But if one or both partners are narrow minded and dogmatic-trouble is brewing!All religions,in essence,teach the same thing:to LOVE others,not to be deceptive and selfish,and to live in PEACE.So,it shouldn't really be so hard.However,humans have twisted many of these divine messages:and feel that their way is the only way.That's Fundamentalism in a nutshell:Intolerance-and it can destroy the world as well as a relationship.

This is similar to couples with extreme political differences. Sometimes there would be just no way to bridge the gap between opposing belief systems. If my husband became religious, it would be my duty as a non-religious person to divorce him. I can't live with a crazy! (p.s. Aw shucks, folks, I'm just kidding. As long as he wasn't proseletyzing me, I'd hang onto the marriage.)

marriage takes faithfullness, no selfishness and communications. The biggest servant in a marriage is the true master. the would be master is servant of the whole household.

This depends on how well you understood each other when you got married. If you can respect each other's religeon and have everything worked out about which religeon the kids will grow up in or even raising them in both then you shouldn't have any problems. If one of you were to say that you're cool with the other's beliefs before you are married and then change their mind after the knot is tied where all you do is fight then give them the boot.

Just like political differences, as long as he isn't a jerk about it, I don't care.
