Should you marry someone of a different relion then you?

I think it is ok but when it comes to tellling your kids about relion which one are you going to teach.,Yours or your husband/wife?
I mean if one parent was jewish and the other was christen what are you going to tell your kid when he wants to decide on what relion he is going to follow?
Anyone have any thoughts or suggustions on this?And yes I am on a roll!JM

I dont see any problem with marrying someone of a different religion as long as they dont try to convert me. You teach your children both religions, they can choose for themselves. Then you have to respect your childs choice. The only issue is where to hold the wedding!

If you love them, yes.

Should you marry somebody of a different race? Ethnic backround?

It should not matter.

if religion is a problem to you, don't come outside the house then ...
and under normal circumstances, you love the person you marry, if you can't bring up to look past that... stay in your house even longer

I don't see a problem. You marry a person because you love them. Not because your religion tells you. My brother in law is Orthodox Greek Christian and my sister is Catholic and they got married. No one had a problem not even the priests.

Religion shouldn't matter if you love the person enough to want to marry them.

it shouldnt but it does- there are a lot of parents out there who would disown their children if they married someone from a diff religion. my bf's parents wud disown him if they knew i wasnt jewish.

OK, everyone's pretty much stuck to the idea that if you love somebody then their religion shouldn't be a factor. But I noticed the part in Jackie's post where she asked what religion do you teach any children you may have. As far as I am concerned, said children should be taught enough information on most religions to be able to make up their own mind. I'm ever grateful that my parents didn't shove religion down my throat as a child, I am an atheist now and I made that choice myself. But I also opted to take Religious Education in school so I would be well informed about worldly religion and culture. Not because I believe in any certain faith, but because it interested me, and I had that choice.

I agree with Sy, educate the child and then let them decide for themselves.

no, not I

nothing wrong in other people doing it though

Religious differences should be of no more significance than variations in masturbatory techniques naughty

significance than variations in masturbatory techniques
yeah and when you get cream in your pipes you can give it a try

It doesn't actually matter IMHO, because each person is an individual and has their own religious beliefs. Religion is a set of rules that people follow because they believe it will lead to happiness, if your partner is of another faith it should have no noticeable effect on your personal relationship, if both of you are satisfied with what you each believe in then there really shouldn't be problems in the aforementioned relationship.

Anyway, rules are there to be broken right? Flexibility is a human virtue 😉

1. I dont think it really matters if you marry someone outside of your religion... just as long as you two can get along.

2. I'm going to tell my children that they can decide for themselves what they want to believe. I was told that, and I wish to do the same for my children.

well not everyone have a religion.........

Ok, should you? No.
Can you? yes.

And here is why i think that. My mother has a female friend, who was 16 when she got married to a Pentecostal (sp?) preacher (who was 29). So she had to wear dresses and never cut her hair, do what he says, not where make up, etc. Now, obviously she wasn't pentecostal when they met but "she loved him". Now, 3 years later, the have one daughter, another on the way, she cheated on him, left him, cut her hair and has become a ****. And her excuse? I don't like wearing dresses all the time.

marry someone you love their religion should not matter, your kids will find out in time which religion(s) feel(s) right for them.
