I greatly believe that anyone, Catholic, Jewish, Atheist, ect... should take a class like that. Mine was called World Religions. It was a required class taught in my CATHOLIC high school and the teacher taught it for what it was…"
Kyle Wilkins replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"You have all colors of the spectrum in any religion or lack of religion. From extreme will degrade you for your beliefs to can look past a persons religion for who they are. I personally hate the extreme weather he/she is an extreme Catholic, Jewish…"

I was brought up really strict evangelical... 'The Brethren' for the first 14 years of my life before I discovered girls and decided that I was more…"

To answer your question - my kids are as follows:
Kris (female, 20yrs old) - married, 1 kid. She is like her mother - spiritual in a sense, but definitely not xian. Her husband, BTW, is an…"
Rocky Oliver (LotusGeek) replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"I have been married over 26 years, and we have five kids. I made it very clear, from the early part of our relationship, that I was an atheist, and we discussed where she was with religion. She was raised in a very strict Catholic household, so…"
Lewal replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"The "extreme" part is what defines them as incompatible. Fundamentalism is inherently dividing; if there's no middle way, there's no peace (*cough*Buddhism, just saying)"
Michael R replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'""They both turn into extreme. Believer and non-believer." I guess I can't get pass the 'extreme' part of this. To me that means non-accomodating. My wife and I have been married for over 32 years. She is a believer and I am…"
Eric Chase replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"things only stop working when one decides to impose their opinions and beliefs on the other... Relationship management involves respect and acknowledgement regardless of the differences... Easy in principal, hard in practise! "
Galen replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"I've been married for over 10 years to a devout Catholic woman. We have a great relationship because we respect each others' right to believe something that the other things is bullshit. I've never understood the idea that people have…"
Seymour Eliot replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"Contradictory fundamental values between two persons who will pretend their whole life it's not there = shallow relationship. Sadly, people DO believe love is stronger than X and Y (hence the 50% divorce rate), but they don't realize X and…"
Sara replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"I could never be disrespectful of others' beliefs and opinions but deep inside I would never EVER be able to take seriously a person who talks about and strongly believes in an existing god.
Religion just isn't a part of my existence and…"
Logan Jancek replied to laila's discussion 'Can believer and non-believer be married for life?'"I never get along with any girl that believes hardcore, because they always talk about church and praying and, to be honest, it gets really irritating. That would be my guess. "He" got irritated."

Say two people get married. Woman is from non-religious background and man is raised hard core Muslim.They both don't care about religion. Woman believes in some form of God but she is not part of any particular religion. Man does not want to be a Muslim and that was never an issue between them.Now two things happen!First woman gets pregnant to have a child against all odds. Starts to believe even more in blessing.Man stumbles to a group of men who claim to be ex-Muslims, agnostics and…See More
