Religion and Marriage
They go hand in hand. No matter what you do.
So you start dreaming of marching to the altar with a long veil and white gown then suddenly you wake up one day realizing that your mate doesn’t have the same visions as yours. You’re a Catholic. He’s a Protestant.
I haven’t thought much about religion until this circumstance happened to my friends. A happy couple of 5 years suddenly broke up because nobody wants conversion. They’re not getting any younger. Sooner or later they have to decide. They need to get married.
My friend asked me if I would also make the relationship last that long knowing that we came from different religious background. I said no. Maybe it's on my top list. They never had the chance to talk about it. One factor that couples must really consider. And it’s so sad that they need to part ways.
In some cases, there wouldn’t be any problems if both parties compromise. Perhaps, very inricate negotiations await the couple.
So you get to survive the marriage, then what happens to your children? What values should they consider? What kind of school are they going to attend? What beliefs should they follow?
A lot of issues will arise about religion and marriage but the answers will still up to the couples. How far would you go in terms of love?
