Good day everyone, and thanks samostically@samostically for bringing us together again.

When talking about inter-faith marriage generally I don't think any of the religion or religious leader will support such no matter the love between those involved.

So in response to this week set of questions;

Can a marriage work with Different religion work?

I won't want to write-off the possibility of such marriage from working, since obviously we're first human before religion comes in, so both parties as a role to play in making such relationship work.
But it's a major red flag when;

  • Both still maintain their former religion, it's mostly expected for women to do things their husbands way, and religion diff while spring up constant misunderstanding.
  • When the lady or man made any mistake, the in-laws immediately jump in always looking for reasons why they've always felt it's wrong to marry him/her.

If you happen to be in that scenario, will you give up on love?

Firstly I'll like to say there are 99% assurance that I won't be in such scenario, but in response to your question.

I'm the kind of person who once fell in love, always give my all, and I'm not a preacher of falling out of love, the reasons why I fell in love with such person will regular plays out and that'll will serve as a reminder to always strive to make sure things work out.

So no matter the religion's such bride get involved in, I believe there must have been a mutual agreement between us before Marriage about if she'll move to my religion or not, and for me to agree that if she doesn't want to, she shouldn't, then it'll never been an issue.

do you actually look down on people with a different religion?

The difference we portray in different aspects of life is what makes us unique, and I believe without this uniqueness and individual differences, life might be boring.

And I've never looked down on people from the other religions, even though most of our preachers talks about how they're on the wrong parts and the likes, but I'm aware that's the same this their preacher told them as well.
I don't look down on them, instead I strive to understand them and their religion believes.
And in my few research I've come to the conclusion that no religion preacher anything other than peace, it's the human in it that preachers violence due to their own experience and the likes.

Can you marry someone that doesn't believe in God?

That's a no no for me, if you don't believe in God, then I believe there are high likeliness that we don't share anything in common.

I believe in supreme being, and the believe that they're about making this happen for me as kept me going and so someone who doesn't feel such way, can never be my wife.
