Humanity first before anything. If you both love each other, respect each other and have high level of tolerance then you are good to go.

Even the religious books asked its followers/disciples to put humanity first. If we all can put that first then the world would be a better place.

Ever wondered why a particular religion is against marrying from the same faith? Yet they worship the same son and father.

See, before you tie the knot, both of you should sit and discuss how you will handle the religion differences. If your view align then no hassle.

Religion is a big issue in Nigeria. Differences in denominations could even cause a serious rift in a marriage if not properly handled, let alone differences in religion.

Trust me, it matters a great deal, because whether we accept it or not, religion affects our general perspective to life.

However, if both of you can agree to disagree, no qualms. Las las, it's your decision.

Why would you be asking this, Yes it's important. It doesn't matter how nice he is, as long as he is an unbeliever, he is disqualified. The bible say don't be equally yoked ( marriage ) with unbelievers
sir, the bible said don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. it clearly means that the relationship is not equal.
but if it's what you're quoting 'equally yoked", it means the relationship is an equal one.
a Christian to Christian relationship is an equally yoked. but a Christian to another relationship is an unequally yoked.
thank you sir

Christian should marry Christian,while the Muslim should marry their own Muslim,and the traditional should marry their traditions and let there be Ballance,it's very comprehensive other way round.

Just so you know, a Muslim man is encouraged to marry non muslim Ladies to propagate islam but they are ready to kill their own daughter if she dares bring a Christian man home for marriage.


The question is are you ready to wear hijab and slam your head six times a day on the floor? Cos you and your children cannot escape it.

How can someone be this stupidly insensitive as to denegrating other people's mode if worship as "slam your head"!
And these are t he first sect of people to attack others for being intolerant...

Religion is never a problem, but it worths taken into consideration when choosing a partner.

When I was searching for a partner then, I always asked two vital things from the beginning; 1) your genotype. 2) religion.

If we are on the same page religiously, and compatible in the genotype aspect, then we are good to go.

If we are compatible in genotype but different in religion, I would withdraw.

I used to consider religion for the sake of my children.

Consider religion, pls.


Thanks.

OP you’re a fool

I see you stylishly hating on Muslims... keep wailing with you and your fellow Christians

The British brought Christianity to Nigeria, look at how they are living their life with Tolerance be it religiously and other people view/opinions

Don’t call anybody “unbeliever” they have their own religion and that’s what cause hatred

OP marry who you wan marry and don’t in your life come here to spark religious hatred.

If you’re a MuMu Muslim girl wey Carry religious for head then don’t marry “Otedola” when you find one likewise any Christian girl should marry “Dangote” at any given chance

To us as Christians, Muslims are unbelievers. So also to them as Muslims, we Christians are unbelievers. So we are all guilty
You people's ignorance about Islam is just sickening

Yet, you people are proud to display that very ignorance

Re: Does Religious Differences Matter In Marriage? by Haywiz1122: 11:27pm On Mar 13, 2021
I’ve gone deeper into both religious talk find the holes.

The Christians are always low key frustrating other religious be it Muslims and traditional but they will play victim card once they are given back the hate.


And I also found out that some Muslims can be so stupid that they don’t even question their religious teachings, the world is changing.

Why carry religious for head. It’s not only Nigeria Christians that will go to heaven. people in India, China and rest of the words believe in other religion so start to respect them...

even the Israelites are Jews not Christians

The Bible was edited by King James of England when nobody believed it “king James version” but they use it to colonize us

Go deeper into religious root then you’ll find out both Muslim and Christian be mumu. Believe in God and respect other people faith as long as they don’t fit the devil explained to you in your teachings.

No.

So long as none of you have any fanatical view about his/her religion
You took the words out of my mouth. Some religions like JW and Islam are down right fanatical. However, many christian based faiths have taints of fanaticism to such an extent that Daddy G.O. calls the shots even in the matrimonial homes of their followers. In my opinion, it is hard to remove the stain of fanaticism from religion and when you get married to a devout of a religion who shares contradictory views with yours, your marriage bond will crack at some point. Best to marry someone from your own religion. For the non religious like me, i will naturally settle for a non religious person too.

Life is govern by Believe and Faith which ultimately effects and affects ones thinking which is what we call mindset.

Religious tolerance must always be accommodated in any society and this is my stand.

As regards marriage the Christian faith has certain standards in choosing suitors or spinsters so also does Islam.

If memory serves me right both religion disagree as regards this matter owing to what they stand for in choosing a life partner and what follows afterwards.

To answer your question - yes religious background matters in choosing a life partner.
In Islam, it is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian or a Jew woman but a Muslim woman marrying a man other than a Muslim is not permissible

They will start pretending like they hate only the extremists
LIES, they hate all Muslims just for being Muslims

Particularly the ibo Christians

One pastor came to my office one day to thank me for a favor
The pastor so convinced himself that am a Christian
When he got to know my tribe which has a good percentage of both religions, he started attacking Muslims and Islam.
When true caller brought out my name after he collected my phone number, he then enquired about my religion and found out that am Muslim
The hypocrite started to apologise
But I didn't let his vituperation deter me at all

The fact that there are so many religions all explaining God in different lights is enough reason to convince me that God is far from religion. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west all day everyday. If the sun is such a certainty, then the one who made it shouldn't be muddled in so much contradictions. Except of course he doesn't even want to found by over zealous peeps.lol cheesy
