Would You End A Beautiful Relationship Over Religious Differences?

We've been dating for over a year now and everything was perfect but one: religious incompatibility. we knew this was a problem from the start but we probably thought one of us would be willing to change to the other's religion, I did the much I could, attended her church for close to a year but i wasn't comfortable because what i believe does not go with the teachings in her church. It was difficult but we had to agree to end the relationship if no one was willing to bend.

What would you have done in this situation?

thanks for your contribution, you are very correct but guess what? the relationship actually started as casual but at a stage we felt like it can be taken to another level because everything was just too perfect. thanks all the same.

I don't think I can

As for me i will not end the relationship over religiuos differences if u guys truly love each other as u say and want to move to de next level that shuldn't b a barrier cus really u both need to understand each other and tolerate.Inrespective of whatever religion u both belong, to get along fine i feel u shuld just respect one another.

thumbs up for u kufre u just said my mind

It feels really good to love and be loved. However, some level of maturity and balance
should go hand in hand with the love so professed. This is so because whether we like
it or not, there will come a time when "that love" will be put to a test. It could be from
parents, siblings, relations, friends, co-workers, our cultures, principles,  you name it!

For Zheroes, it is religion. And going from what he's shared with us, i don't think they
handled it badly. Mutual respect is key!!

Its not easy but the truth is indeed bitter; in essence you took the right decision.

I’l end it, people tend to ski over these issues, say it doesn’t matter, when they get married they find out that it does, marriage is serious business, the most trivial things matter

Very well said!

Tolerance and Ignorance!!

whether we like it or not, religion is a major issue. it is the most sensitive issue, followed closely by race and then gender.

as for me, i wont even go into a r/ship like that in the first place,  some religions just don't click, even though we all profess to worshipping the same God.

imagine if i, a christian, were to marry a buddhist or hari krishna,  and i love the guy but don't want to join his religion,  much as i hate to admit it, i wouldnt like it if my kids were to prefer their dad's religion or worse, incline towards atheism,  lailai, i no go gree ooo.

common sense should prevail
why are some adults foolish?!
why go into a relationship without thinking of the differences in the first place and then only to start causing heartbreaks by ending it,
fu*king hell i have had enough of this shit, don't GO INTO A RELATIONSHIP IF YOU can't TOLERATE THE DIFFERENCES, even if it means waiting till thy kingdom come to find a RELATIONSHIP WITH A RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE!


I hate threads like this, we stick our hands in fire when we know it may hurt!!

Hello no!
Stick to your religion and I'll stick to mine if we can't comprise giving up either of ours.

Religion is politcs, hyprocricy and fanaticism. Some claims they are christians. Some claims they are moslems and some claims they are rastafarians. All of us are one. We are all one people. Why should a moslem man be fighting a christian man? Why should Yoruba be fighting Hausa? Why should the Ijaw man fighting the Itshekiri? Why should the Irish man fighting the English man? Why should Palestine man should be fighting an Israeli? This is all common sense and i don't blame us because we have been brain washed and blind folded from generation to generation.

SAY NO TO RACISM AND LET'S UNITE AND BUILD THE WORLD!!!

No! No! and a Resounding NO!

I am a product of mixed religion

Mother - Christian
Father - M u s l i m

And it worked perfectlyboth learnt to make accommodations for the other's religious beliefs. Not onceat least not that I've ever heard, did one tried to convert the other.

Sallah comes, All the children with mom and Dad are there to celebrate.
Easter Comes, All the children with mom and dad are there to celebrate.
Ramadan, my mother wakes up with my dad and whichever of us wants to fast to help prepare food.
Our naming ceremony was done in both Christian and M u s l i m rites. All of us have M u s l i m and Christian names.
A couple of my siblings go by their M u s l i m names and the rest go by their Christian names.
My father has entered into a church and thunder did not strike him down,
My mother has entered a mosque and the floor did not open up and swallow her.
Never once did they make us kids choose a side but as we grew olderwe all sort of gravitated to which religion suited us.
Despite  the religious differences (and if you really look at it, aren't that different) they both believe in the fundamental beliefs of raising children who

A) Believe in God
B) Study & Obey His words
C) Treat others with kindness
D) Live a life acceptable in the eyes of God
E) Obey their parents
F) Don't murder
G) Commit Adultery
F) Don't Lie and Cheat
G) Are Tolerant of others

What more can you ask for? I can't imagine what life would be like if one of them had decided to give up because of religious differences. If two people from opposite religions can make it workI fail to see the problem here.
