Although I Am not a perfect man I do have a strong stance on spirituality. I believe that when it comes to relationships the two participants should have the same views when it comes to this topic. I've had experience in being in a relationship in which the young lady I was dealing with didn't believe in what I did simply put she believed in nothing. To be perfectly clear here I'm not saying u have to be spiritual(even though i should) I'm just saying be on the same page.
Different sects of religion can divide a relationship. The obvious mix match are different beliefs like Christianity to Catholics to buddhaism etc. I found it strange when me and a past girlfriend had conflicting views within the same religion: Christianity. Her church practiced rituals i didn't believe in and my church simply wasn't hers eventually the differences lead to be one of the dividing factors in our relationship.
If your thinking about taking your relationship to something serious this topic should be discussed. Lol with my past experience I want to know asap. After all this is a make or break for me....share your thoughts
I definitely Agree that you should be on the same page. But , I do think there are cases where the two people can respect each others beliefs systems. Organized religion has many different rituals that are practiced that often time do fall into cultural practices and there is where its gets funky. When you have been taught your whole life that this is how this should go then its hard to change that perspective for the average person. You just have to to have a liked minded person...Because If you can accept her beliefs then in turn she should accept yours and all the fuzzy areas you too can work out within your relationship.
ReplyDeleteWith that being sad, I my self want a man of faith , who believe s in Jesus and all those wonderful things. It would bother me if he had no faith in anything. But If he were catholic or Muslim we would have to have a serious talk about expectations. Before we could move further.
I would reason to say that religion shouldn't get in the way of two people who love each other. I believe two people of different faiths could easily make it work as long as they RESPECT the other's religion. Of course it might be EASIER if they were on the same page faith wise, but most faiths are a means to the same end.
