Is the Topic of Religion Taboo in Relationships? : Blisstree

Shared by deysi


I'm learning more about religion and relationships right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How do relationships work when there is differences in religion?. As I was reading in my Google Reader, this blog post caught my attention because the title made me wonder if this can interest me. The title of this blog is "Is the topic of Religion Taboo in Relationships?." This blog made me think about the different relationships that can work out even though they have different relationships. This blog talks about his and how relationships do work out even when they have religions that separate them.

The quote I chose here is basically saying that that some relationships can have problems when it comes to religion. Although this is what people say its just what the religion is that is different but not the faith.

I think this is true because sometimes you go out with some one that has a different religion but yet you can share a similar faith. It makes me wonder if religion is one of the main reasons that separate two people in a relationship.

I know someone whose stand in this matter is still “undefined” ergo it’s something you can’t really resolve. And I’ve met a few people whose faith is sealed on one thing and yet are still in a kind of relationship that somehow creates friction when religion is talked about.

I’ve been taught to believe that you should enter into a relationship with someone who shares the same faith as you do, however, what if this so-called lesson was taken out of context? When you start toying with the idea and try to internalise it a bit more, you get to see that it’s really the religion that differ and not the faith BUT it’s been planted in you that one religion is the right one and conversion is the only way to resolve this complication.
