SSpeter:
I don't want a scenario when am praying my rosary setting up an Altar placing the statue of Mary and jesus...My wife will just be looking at me like someone wasting His time. I will love her to take charge but when she does not believe in those practices, It will dwindle my enthusiasm now you know why it's good to stick with ur denomination.

I really don't get what is wrong with her not praying the way you pray. Let her pray the way she's comfortable with praying. at the end of the day , we're all praying to the same God, through Jesus Christ.

For me christianity is not a religion it is a culture, tradition and way of live. Only fools go back to a burning house after being rescued.

I am a Muslim, my lovely wife is a Christian. We are happier than Pastor Chris Okotie and his two ex-wives, we are also happier than Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and Anita Oyakhilome who are still married purely for business purpose. We are indeed happier than Alhaji Adamu and his three wives. If you think I am lying, just look at Alhaji Bola Tinubu and Pastor Remi Tinubu. Also look at Alhaji Tunde Fashola and Dame Emmanuella Fashola.

If marriage is all about religion, there wouldn't have been over 80% divorce rate in Europe and America because most of the couples are Christians.

I can tolerate whatever my partner believes in...makes for more diversity, as far as he tolerates mine.

Love is greater than religion

Love is greater than religion

Really!

Simpleseyi, you are right, i am a muslim and my husband is a christian, we are still so much in love and we are each other's best friend. Most people deceive themselves and end up being unhappy because of religious differences. as for both of us, we didn't marry to convert each other but we love ourselves the way we are.

The question is....how and what will the children be raised to believe in?

donTbone:
If it came down to love would you change your religion? A lot of people face this issue in their relationship, and it’s such a touchy subject so most people sweep it under the rug. The most difficult thing to do while in love is to leave your love for what you love.

When we’re born we don’t know what we believe in, our parents teach us and raise us to believe in what they think we should believe in so its natural for us to follow this same path once we grow up.

I have a friend that is in a relationship with someone that has a different religion then her, she doesn’t want their future children to believe in what he believes in so she’s faced with the decision to stay or leave.

What would you do if this were you? If this was me I don’t know what I would do, do I leave the love of my life because we have different views or do I stay and live a different lifestyle from him.

Very easy for SW people but almost impossible for a SEner.

This is a tough one. I am an atheist, but I have strongly been considering the option of turning (or just faking it) Christian for the sake of marriage and my future children.

first time I am quoting an Atheist.

laff

Pastor Tunde Bakare was raised a Muslim, today he is a Christian. Bishop Oyedepo was raised a Muslim, today he is a Christian.

On a unanimous forum like this, the truth and nothing but the truth wont cost me anything. If you cannot say the truth on a unanimous forum then you can never say the truth anywhere.

Marriage as an institution has been existing before religion, so religion should not define marriage, if at all any one of the two should define the other, then marriage should define religion and not religion defining marriage. I am Muslim today, but we all know that I may become a Christian tomorrow, afterall many Muslims have converted. If I reject love for the sake of religion, what happens when I convert to the religion I once rejected.

personally, i allow my kids follow their father to church, though they had both islamic naming and baptism, this is to make their path easy later in life should they decide to do either.

cornoil:
Ur mum was a Muslim b4 she converted. So ur xtian gf should also expect to to do like ur mum in future? Y can't u convert also since u are not a strong muslim?

I wont force my christian gf to convert because my Dad didnt force my mum. She converted willingly. I have lots of problems and questions for the christian faith so cant even think of it. I am a skeptic.

kimond101:


My brother may Allah strengthen your faith in him. My advice is before you think of marrying someone of another faith as a man you have to ensure you are strong in your faith.
Love is blindeed and love flunctuates. You may love someone today and notomorrow love the person tomorrow.
The life of this world is temporary and whatever you want you offspringshould to be is the kind of spouse you should look for. God forbid Allah take your soul early during the marriage, and your wide is still a christian, she would automatically make your children church goers.
I'll advice that you should marry someone who share the same believe as you do. That would make the religious aspect of your life easy atleast since you would pray together as a family and raise your children on the same believe.
I'm not saying your christian lady may not revert later on but the question is if she doesn't what would you do?

Actually sir, I was born into the muslim family but I have problems with Religion (both Christianity and Islam) and whenever I try to be strong in my faith, my curiosity, skepticism makes me disbelieve all these religions as a agent of chaos and confusion in this world. Bro, it is a long story. But it'll take a miracle before one can make me start practicing a faith religiously.

I have no problem with what my kids decide to choose. In my family, there are christians and muslims. I have male and female relatives who have turned from Christians to Muslims and vice versa. I believe that'll explain my indifference towards choice of religion. we are an open family that embrace any faith. celebrates sallah, christmas etc.

If she doesnt become a Muslim when we marry, no problem. Love overrules everything sir.

May God guide us all to the straight path and make life easy for us.
Autocorrect made me have some mistakes in my earlier post, pardon me.

fenway4u:
what. I belief about religion is that we are all victim of circumstance simply because we practice d religion of our parent and share d same faith wt them, if shade is born by a idol worshipper she might also be an idol worshipper, it's scarce to see a pastor's son practising Islam neither imam daughter going to church, what is d assurance dat our parent made d right decision? but u should all remember that both books(Quran and Bibble preaches love). I don't see big deal in marriage outside my religion as far as our ideology and understanding are intact.

u ve said it all, imo u made the most sensible comment.

Religion as made the world a fallacy!

I'm a free person, I don't judge you based on your religion cause it doesn't exist! I judge you based on your humanity,conscience, morals.

We need to find common ground... Mayb become an atheist n then later choose 4rm objective perspective which religion 2 follow.... Bt if I luv her I'd stick with her until I can't stick anymore coz d religous barrier will bore hole in d relationship n it will spread lik depletion of Ozone layer.

What do you mean "free?"

So being an atheist are you saying Christianity would positively influence your marriage and your future children?

I meant I have no religion
