No. Nothing of the sort.

Yes, with regard to a romantic relationship, I do think similar spiritual beliefs are important. With my friends, though, whatever they believe is fine. Live and let live.

Being spiritual is a characterstic that changes the way one views anything, if you are going to find a mate who will stay with you till you die, it would be best to match in something as important as that :P. Of course it can be done but It would go better.. if you found a spiritual person over a non-spiritual and you are spiritual, and vice versa.

I think it actually works a little better if the two have SIMILAR spiritual beliefs, but it is not a "must". I had a very good relationship with someone that had NO spiritual beliefs. But, she loved me anyway. I broke off that relationship, (and it had nothing to do with either of our beliefs). But, I've seen quite a few LONG-term relationships, where one partner was spiritual, and the other was not. So, in my opinion, it is not a "must". I just think, with all the other obstacles that come up, it would be better if both had similar spiritual beliefs.

Yea, being evenly yoked is a good rule of thumb regardless of your beliefs. It will hold you together when moral issues arise.

I would prefer to have them believe. This is where the Bible says a believer should not marry a non believer, but if he/she does, and the non believer does not try turning the believer from the LORD , stay with them, because the believer may , by example, one day bring them to God. It also teaches about another "mixed marriage", and that is, of Jews and Catholics , Pentecost and Baptist,( for examples only), marrying(confusing for the children) and their beliefs are VERY DIFFERENT and will be a disruptive life and GOD is HARMONY

i am spiritual and it is a big part of my life, yet this guy that i am attracted to is a trainee doctor/surgeon who is very scientific and what not. I actually prefer it that way as long as they have an open mind its fun to have disscussions and gives us things to talk about. im not going to try and push spiritualism onto him just like he isnt going to push his scientific - in this case almost atheist views on me.

the relationship will be healthier if the two are into spirituality
