Would you rather choose a partner with the same affiliation or religion as you are or it doesn't matter?

♡It doesn't matter TO ME as long as we have respect for each other and can communicate our feelings about it. But in some cases, such as raising children, it can be a big issue for some couples and families.♡

i dont think it depends on the religion, but rather the person and the level of intimacy and love in the relationship.

are you closer with one of them? do you have similar beliefs, temperaments, etc? Its hard to say which person you should choose, not knowing much about either one.

That's up to the individual.\n\nI prefer spiritual.  I feel that finding a link between man and many faiths has lead me in a very positive direction.\n\nYet, I feel that religion has become a weapon for society.  However, I have met people that found that a particular religion saved their lives, and they genuinely became better people.  For them, being religious was the way to go.\n\nIn the end, it's up to each person to decide for themselves.

Naturally, the choice is yours.  But, whichever you choose, you will have to live with the consequences of your choice.  If you were to choose the unsaved guy, you will be unequally yoked, a direct violation of a Scriptural command.  There will be consequences.  This is especially true if you later get married.  I can't begin to count the number of unequally yoked spouses that have been counselled because their marriage is in disarray.   Why?  Because the husband objects to the wife's standards or commitments.  (Or vice versa)\n\nIf you go with the saved guy, it is a better choice, Scripturally speaking, but he may not be the one that God wants for you.  I recommend that you pray for the Lord's will, and have Him make plain to you who He wants for you.

I don't think it matters. As long as you are happy with who you are.

If two people can find each other and connect, that's what really matters.  I always tell my kids, I'd rather have them be with someone of a different race they love that loves them and treats them well, than someone of the same race that doesn't.  Love doesn't know color.

I'm looking for a person to date who shares my values.  I'd like my relationship to be something that helps me out in my life and I'd like a partner who can complement my strengths and weaknesses.  If the guy that I'm dating and I aren't moving towards the same goal, I don't think I'm interested.  I'm sure you're a nice person, but I want somebody that I can grow with.\n\nAlso, if I'm dating someone and I really care about him, why wouldn't I want him to experience the happiness I feel from following the teachings of Jesus Christ?

If I was truly involved and falling for someone, I highly doubt their immigration status would mean anything to me.  It's just a piece of paper.  I would certainly continue dating.

That would make you unequally yolked, and I don't believe God intends for you to marry someone who isn't a Christian.\n\n*EDIT*\n\nIf you two are deeply in love, then if she is the one, she will get saved.  If not, then she's not the one for you, and you should ask God for help with moving on.

If I didn't know the person then it wouldn't matter. At first I would trust them both the same. I find it doesn't matter what sex you are, but what kind of person you are inside.

Jews and Catholics do not favor this because they know the other party may influence the one they care about. No one who believes their religion is correct wants to lose someone they care about. Also many find out as I did that this can lead to much hardship later in the relationship. Think about your future -church?, kids? family get together, or you may fall deeply in love only to lose out to these differences.

I believe what you believe is the best.\n\nShouldn't allow any one, including boyfriend/husband force you in to a religion.\n\nIf your bf was a Scientolgy Religion type, would you embrace that religion too ?  Make your own mind up like you appear to be doing. :)

I would do that if I know my partner is the one for me to live together for the rest of my life. The colour of the skin? It's just an outlook only. You can have fair & white skin but the heart inside is as evil as a demon. It's the character of a person matter the most when you choose a life partner. You can choose the most handsome/gorgeus person to be your wife/husband but you can't guarantee that inside the handsome/gorgeus looks have included a heart that will truly love & care for you in the time when you needed them the most?

If I truely love someone, there religion or lack thereof is not going to stop me from marrying them. I wouldn't let there lack of faith influence or change me.

No. Absolutely not. The fact that I have a strong faith is a personal decision. What anyone else chooses to believe in is entirely up to them, and I do respect that. I wouldn't be living the way my faith requires if I were to push it onto someone else. I respect their beliefs the same way that I would want someone to respect mine. (Lutheran)
