As long as the person is open minded and does not try to convert me, I really could not care less.
-
Not that important. ITs okay honey i believe in god and you dont i still ove you (i just wont see you in heaven hahahahah)
-
not very important, religion has nothing to do with who i love.
-
Not at all important. I keep religion as a private matter and don't share them. I would share a theological belief since this is general and will tend not to upset someone on such a wide scale as a particular faith or denomination would tend to.
-
Not important at all as long as he doesn't try to stop me and my beliefs I don't care what he believes.
-
Very important to me. My soon to be husband and I share the same beliefs. I don't care if we don't share them with anyone else but we have to be 1 together!
-
OK, I was bitch. My former husband was never christened, but before we got married he did. I just was so afraid that if something happened to him, he wouldn't go to Heaven. Looking back, I was lust young & stupid
-
I think if one of you is deeply religious and one of you is not religious at all, it could be a problem. But I think someone of the Jewish faith and someone of the Christian faith would have no problem. That should be ironed out before two people become a couple. To me the single most important commonality is..do you believe in a higher power, whatever the name, or not? :)
-
Somewhat. If he's going to insist on xianity, then it's a problem.
-
To me it is not a major crisis if they don't share my beliefs so long as they are not cirtical of them.
-
Luckily my partner and i share a lack of religious beliefs and that's pretty important to me!
-
it is very important. for one, if u always have a beliefe that if you were to marry someone who is not of that same religion, thinking yhou could change their thinking and beliefs, in the end you would be the one that is changed. it is important cause the views you have and share to other people as an individual is important not only to some people but to God himself.
-
Not very.
-
To me , it's extremely important !
-
I personally feel that it's very important, others may disagree.
-
It's one of them most important things to me. I just don't think I could give my life to someone who didn't share my core values and beliefs. It's way too important an issue with me.
-
YES! I think that if you swear your life to someone and in your mind you say, "I can live with them" or "I can change them" It'll be harder than you think
-
As a Christian married to a Muslim I would have to say that in the beginning it was not important at all, but as time goes on it is definately testing our relationship. It is very hard on both of us. We discuss and respect the other's religion but it is extremely frustrating at times. We both hope our love will carry us through - that is all we can hope for - and I think it will be enough.
-
Well i lack any religious beliefs so i probably wouldn't mesh well with someone who takes their religion very seriously.
-
i would only date men with the same religious beliefs... when i married my husband we made an agreement if either one ever decided to leave the faith they we would not give the believer any resistence to continue with the faith....
-
I don't really care as long as she is accepting of mine.
-
Very important. If the relationship progressed to marriage and children I would like no confusion over what to teach the child. It also avoids a lot of tension this way.
-
It's very important, honestly. Religion is the main cause of war, world wide. I can't have a war going on in my relationships.
-
I've learned not to pursue a relationship with any religous person, not because I have problem with it but because they have a problem with me.
-
A deal breaker, so that would be extremely important.
-
the 2nd. important thing, the 1st. of course is the Gender.
-
I feel like it is important, but especially if you are going to try to raise children together. My boyfriend is Catholic and I'm Church of Christ, and I think it would be hard to fight to raise our kids as one or the other.
-
Yes if he starts "bible thumping" me I would have to dump him. I'm not a believer.
-
We are both anti religious
-
That wouldn't be to hard for me to find, since I don't have a clue what they are anymore...
-
it is important that she believes in God, but she doesn't have to be the same denomination
-
It's all important. I wouldn't have dated anyone not holding the same beliefs or values. So we have a common ground and one place to go as our guide and to help solve any problems. It keeps us both on the same path and goals. The Bible speaks of two strands together being a strong cord but that a three-fold cord (meaning God is that 3rd strand) is so strong it's unbreakable. And that is how we feel about our marriage.
-
not very, the love of my life is atheist and i have my own beliefs not tied down to a specific church or religion. If she doesn't believe thats fine i still love her with all my heart. I wont say hey i love you but your religion or lack of one makes me not want you... thats just @$% if you ask me.
