As for right now I'm learning more about religion and relationships. Lately I have being talking with my friends about the things that I have read in Google reader. I have read a lot fo stuff about how some relationships end because of their religion. I have also learn about rituals in different religions. I like that fact that I cna get to learn more about this things and how relationships work. Soem articles that I think will help you understand what I have learn frorm this are here.
 
A blog:
 
"Religion is complicated. Religion and relationships are even more complicated. It is present in the media, political debates and even on campuses around the globe. Some of us may believe in a religion and go to church on a regular basis, while others are content with living a spiritual life without the gathering of a congregation. Either way, religion will always be a part of our world in some shape or form.

Now, I’m not here to ramble on about religion, but it is an essential part of the world we live in and the basis from where most of us believe we originate. It is also almost always present in every relationship we get involved in.
Have you ever been broken up with or have been ignored because of the religion you practice? Have you ever fought with a special someone because of his or her beliefs or moral values?

In some parts of the world, a woman is shunned or beaten to death if she marries or dates a man outside of her religion."

I'm learning more about religion and relationships right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How does society infleunce religion and a relationship?. As I was reading in my Google Reader, this news item caught my attention because the title made me think. The title of this news item is "Religious Beliefs Can Play A Big Role In Love". I found the title interesting becasue this could helped me answer my question about religion and relationships. This article gave me a good information and exmaples of different relationships that deal with religion.

The quote I chose here is basically saying that religion is very impostant in some people's lives. It's saying that religion can cause a problem in a couple or around our world. It tells us that there is times when because of religion we can suffer.

I think this is true because when you are very religious you fight for what you belive. It makes me wonder about people that had to end a relationship because of their religion and how that affected their lives.
 
A news item:


"Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats and independents to say that religion is very important in their lives. This relationship is particularly strong among whites and others who do not identify as black. Women who are Republicans are more likely to be religious than women who are independents and Democrats. The same relationship between religion and party identification holds among men."

I'm learning more about religion and relationships right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is:how does society affect religion and a rleationship?. As I was reading in my Google Reader, this magazine article caught my attention because the tile made it seem interesting. This article talks about a different kind of relationship. Not a relationship of a couple but something that involves governement. I like this article becasue it gave me a different view of other types of rleationships that there is.

The quote I chose here is basically saying that Republicans tend to be more religious than Democrats and independents. This is talking about a relationship of republicans and democrats and which of them is more religious. Women who are republican are more religious than others.

I think this is surprising because I would never thought they would come up with who is more religious when it comes to republicans and democrats. It makes me wonder about what other relationships there are that influence religion.
 
I found a comic that talks about relationships and what some people think about it. This comic in particular is saying that relationships are overrated and the other one is saying its rated as a guess. I belive that what you think about relationships shouldn't be guess. You should know how you want your relationships and how to make it work. This made me think about different relationships that end because of the religions they have and how much this can affect their lives.

 Religion and relationships can be hard. Religion is a big influence in a couple or in a family. When you have a relationship under a religion that will not accept your other partner because of different religions. This can cause a conflict. As you can see religion is a big issue when it comes to dating and family. Do you think that you would put religion first over your relationship with some one you love?
