people have always
been asking questions
whether age,distance,height e.t.c
are important issues in
a relationship.But i will
like members to look at
religion.Should religion be
a determinant factor in
a relationship? if
so,what and how do
we see destiny?what
kind of future are we
creating for our unborn
children.Remember,that
in the past it was used
to be tribe(i.e an ijebu
man not allowed to
marry an egba,a lady
from imo not allowed to marry from anambra
e.t.c) i am talking of
same yoruba,igbo and
hausa either from same state or diff state but from same geo-political area.Thank God that gone are those days. What happen to the religion aspect? Do we think whatever religion we practise is by our making/ choosing? do we have the power
to ..........................?

Any religion we practice is our choice... Religion should not be d deciding factor in relationship.

In actuality religions aren't choices, you were indoctrinated(instilled from birth) into one that's why you think they are choices, you're either convinced or not convinced in a belief....So you can't be in a belief that you're not convinced about.

hmmm, nice post, thanks for your contribution

To me religion is not decisive in a relationship.
However, the reality is that often norms and values are defined by our vision on life (and probably our religion). It can make people differ so much that becoming a unity as a couple becomes impossible or at least problematic.

It is often said: if your love is big enough, you can make it work. That's probably true but love can be lived and defined in so many different ways...influenced by our culture, our family values, our religion, our society, our tribe, our personal heart's capacities etc.

Also the way we express love, live it...the level of love we aspire to develop in a relationship can differ a lot.
Only a very strong commitment and willingness to travel and explore the road of love together can bridge the gap between two people coming from different breeding grounds.

~ the universal voice of the heart can still make everything possible ...together..if you manage both to reach that voice and let is speak ~
