Does Religion Play Big Role In Relashionship? by wunmi590(op): 11:58pm On Jan 21, 2015

When I was growing up I happened to crunch on a beautiful Muslim girl, who told me she can't marry me just because am a christian (Catholic) to b precise, but I just believe we are not meant for each other, because their's no religion I can't marry.

But I did a statistical survey on this, I asked many ladies if they can marry an opposite religion, most of their response was no.

Majority of them said they see nothing bad in it, but the problem for them is how to adapt quickly to the new religion, and sometimes it divide children's religion where one may want to practice father's religion and the other mother's religion.

Can you marry an opposite religion?

Honestly, I don't consider religion when going for dates, I can comfortably date a Muslim, Hindu or from whatever religion even.

I feel you my bro, but this days most of the people that rejects that are the female devotee, who believe their husband must come from their religion

I think the fear of our parents reaction has a major role to play in this discussion.

But most people have now turned it to a bad habit to marry your opposite religion

I care about religion a whole lot. I can be friends with any religion but when it comes to relationship, one should really be careful

Yes I have thought of that too, but that though always work for the females, our parent knows that once they ask us of that guys would never concur to such thing

That's predominantly in a religious society, and I understand their sentiments. But, I see people beyond their respective faith. I am more passionate about humanity than religion.

Yes such things happen, it only takes the grace of God for some one to succeed in such a union

I also believe marrying your opposite religion promote culture and every other thing where you would be able to see Muslim, christian, Hindu and every others sharing the same goal to move the nation forward

That's how it's meant to be, religion is suppose to unite us than divides us. I believe with time there would be more inter-faith marriages in Nigeria

If you do marry her, will you allow her to practice her religion with prejudice? Which religion will your kids follow?

I am not sure it could happen in our generation, given how we attach too much importance to religion. Let's hope though!

My kids can follow either religion of both parents and when they grow up they can make their own decision, which includes becoming an atheist. And I will not consider them any less of a human based on whichever religion they decide to adhere to. I am not moved by religion, religion doesn't define people, character does.

I can date a muslim girl( find them attractive btw-especially the Aishas*). But marry, 90% no! What will make me marry a muslim girl, hmm she go set die*

Re: Does Religion Play Big Role In Relashionship? by shitshappen(m): 6:30am On Jan 22, 2015

Yes, yes, for a meaningful relationship the answer is yes. I can't even date you right now if you don't speak the pure language. There is this hot number I like at my branch but she is a Catholic. Though we often catch ourselves gawking. Deep down I know nothing lasting will come out of dating her, why go for her in the first place.

Mingling and marrying from other tribes promotes culture not religion. Religion is a very delicate and sensitive issue.
