religion - because people who have religion want people who don't to have it; and people who don't have it want people with it to lose it\n\nsex - because people who don't have it want it and people who do have it don't want to lose it or want to make it better

relationships, and love for that matter, are not supposed to be judged/prejudged based on one event.  love is a decision to commit, not blind faith based on perceived symbolisms.  God has a reason for everything, every time.  It's not just the "ME" and the "NOW."

If you are asking for historys sake, Ronin is right about the mostly Protestant, and Anglican thing. (In England.) If you are asking for now a days... don't worry so much about what church is right, and focus on getting your heart right. Your local pastor isn't going to be your judge, God is. Line up with His rules. Get a relationship with Him. Notice I said relationship, not religion?

Don't obsses over your religions. To me it's not a big deal at all. Just love eachother for who you are. And realize that there is more than just your religion. It takes many different people to shape the world.

Don't go against your religion.  God is more important than your boyfriend.  How long have you been going out with him?  If he has sex with you but there is no commitment, you will be in much worse shape in the end.  Wait until you are married so you don't get hurt.

Religion, maybe. Relationship No!\n\nChristianity is a liberating, horizon widening, life giving relationship. Some would say that Christianity is a list of rules but it is not. If you look ay Jesus' words He said that there are only two rules - 1) Love God. 2) Love each other. Simple, eh!\n\nBecoming a Christian is as simple as taking a pill. Three steps in taking a pill; 1) get the pill, 2) take the pill, 3) have a glass of water. Three steps in becomming a Christian; 1) realise that you are a sinner and need a saviour, that you can't save your self, change your mind about sin 2) Realise that Jesus death on the cross paid the penality for your sin so you don't have to, 3) ask Jesus to forgive your sin

It's a fundamental difference in how the religions are practiced.  For example:  Confession, birth control, and the guy with the funny hat.

"Religion is commonly defined as a group of beliefs concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief." \n\nScience can be your religion if you want it to be. Not all religions believe in a God, it is more about a life style. Religion is something you hold great truth to. It is the most important thing in your life. It is what you live for. That is the way I understand it anyway.

I really don't think God likes religion much at all. He does want us to have a personal relationship with Jesus, though.  As long as that's all we're relying on to make us right with God, nothing else really matters, I suppose.

Your relationship with God are between you and the higher power you believe in. Converting to please another "human being" wouldn't be putting the spirtual relationship as a priority but the earthly one. No One can make you convert. In the end you will not stick with it. Do what makes you happy and what your conscience can deal with.

marriage is a religious and social status.  i've been with my partner for 5 years and we are not married.  our relationship is great. he is always there for me, as i am for him.\ni'm not saying marriage is not a beautiful thing.  or that i don't believe in it.  i'm just saying that some people don't have to have approval from society and the church.  i'm not knocking it, i'm not saying we aren't going to get married.  i am saying that we're happy with our situation right now.

What difference does it make?  Does it impact his relationship to you?  No...so you are just being nosey.  Many people view their religion as a personal experience and have no desire to share it with others.  Respect his privacy.

What is the link between dating and praying ?? I don't understand...\nThere are ways to get a religiously aproved relationship between girls and boys. Islam is a religion that matches all the times. But some narrow minded parents lock their daughters up, so they secretly date...\nI personnally advise father's to losen their rules, but to look after their needs and listen to them. Things would be easier !\nThere are aproved ways to get into a relationship. Let them pray people !! Is it a crim to pray ?? God knows more. He's The One who'll judge and accept or reject our prayers

Religion doesn't mis with relationships. It doesn't matter what your religious believes are. I am not going to say that i agree with you beliefs, but its not my place to judge. The point is that no matter what religion you are, in a relationship both parties must respect each other enough to accept the others religious preferences. I understand it is frusterting, i have had my own relationship problems because of religious differences, and it shouldnt be that way. Religion is a personal decision and your partner needs to respect that the same way you need to respect his. In my situation we decided on a comprimise that we were simply going to leave it alone. He has his and i have mine, and it is not dicussed and all religious practices are done in private and we promised that we weren't going to take crap about the other and not try to convert. Don't ever change your religion for a relationship....in fact don't choose one over the other. It is not something you should have to decide a side on. If you indend to stay with him for good, and have kids with him you might want to dicuss and agree on how the children will be raised, religiously, but besides that, you should both just agree to disagree.

Love is a sacred commitment .Check out if you love him and he loves you.Other details of adjustment can be worked out.True LOVE absorbs every thing because it is sanctified by  GOD.All religions emerge from God and not the vice versa. Forget about his religion if he loves you and you love him.
