My UNSAID WORDS
HEYY I really have no idea how things are going with you after breakup i hope you find someone new and better than me . i guess now we cant speak to each other...
No. If it doesn’t matter to you two, then it doesn’t matter at all!
I am Muslim and my bf is Hindu. It doesn’t matter between us but matters to the society. We will marry soon.

ReplyIt may come with difficulties if you two argue about beliefs, but if it is respectful, go for it. God gives better advice on this, but it can come to an issue if one person is an non-believer. As usually comes with that non-believer not understanding the believer on their spiritual walk in life. You know your person best though, just trust God (or whoever you believe in) to guide your marriage together. It'll be okay.
ReplyIt matters if you think it does. Other than that, not really. It's like a vegetarian and vegan getting married.
ReplyReligion in marriage should NOT matter. God is love, and love is what matters (hate fills the world, is obviously the opposite of love, and we all know who is the prince of hate and darkness). Religion is man-made, although with good intentions, easily corruptible and can be hijacked by authoritarian tyrants. In my humble opinion, religion should be practiced in moderation and not be a way of life. Best of luck.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow, including the teachings of Christ Jesus. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required, although the former and latter are admirable if practiced freely out of one's own free will and without the threat of being beheaded. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Mark 12:28-31
And Christ Jesus said the 2 greatest commandments are:
Love God first and foremost.
Love your fellow-being as you love yourself.
From following or not following these, all good or evil cascades, respectively.
Love...that powerful, invisible force that cannot be denied; even atheists live and die by it.
ReplyYES. YES. YES. It does matter in marriage! Religion represents each person's core beliefs. So, if you both don't even have the same foundation, then a marriage, let alone a relationship, can't work. If you two decide to have children, then there will also be a split because you both follow your different religions, and it will bring a hard time on not only your children but the whole family. God bless you ^__^
