It does depend on how religious the two people are. If you fall in love and start getting serious, you naturally start talking about marriage and kids. I believe kids should have two parents who believe in the same faith. This shows the child that the parents are both very solid in their faith, and it will motivate she/ he to believe in the religion. Love sometimes isnt enough in this situation because the religion gets between future goals. It creates a wall. I am sorry to say, but it is very hard to go through.

Those that lean towards an organized religion with a more superficial relationship with their beliefs tend to develop many issues with their partners of another faith.

My advice to anyone embarking in a relationship with someone who has (or who's family has) strong religious views would be to set your ground rules from the start and stick to them no matter what.

It really depends on the individuals. My mom is an atheist, and my dad a staunch catholic, but they managed to work it out.Myself, on the flipside, was in a relationship with a very hardcore baptist (i teeter on the agnostic side of things, though i was raised catholic and am well-versed in religion). The relationship was fantastic for a year and a half, and then we got down to discussing religion, and the fact that i even questioned that there was the possibility that God may not exist pretty much ended the relationship. She couldn't handle that i could possibly have a differing view then her (I remember her exact words as "How could someone seemingly so intelligent question God?")Since then, i've made it a policy to insure that religion is not an issue for anyone i date. Maybe it's something to discuss? Make sure that you both know where you're coming from and where you stand.
