DH Different religion

Do you and your SO practice the same religion? I grew up Mormon (a branch of Christianity) and my husband grew up without a specific religion. I don't practice the Mormon faith anymore and my husband been has following the Norse religion (Odinism) since he was a teen. Our religious differences don't often cross over and we've already discussed how we want to handle the topic with our children. However, whenever I talk about my DH to friends/family their first question is "well is he Mormon?" When I tell them no they ask "well how does that work?". Um it works just fine. Do you every run into situations like this?

Im Christian and my husband is Muslim. At first when we met I think he thought I was converting. Yeah no. We would talk and he knew I was an active Christian. He actually was raised Christian. When we had our daughter he knew I would take her to church with me and he had no issues. Actully he sometimes attends with me. My brother is my Pastor and my dh gets along with him just fine. Yes we have discussed religion but it has never caused an issue in our relationship.

I get asked all the time if I'm Mormon. I feel like I'm on the outside of one big "Member's Only" club. My family is Catholic, though my husband and I are Agnostic. I've been trying to find a non-denominational church here, but there aren't many options.

My husband and I are both atheists, his family however is catholic. Granted they are CEO catholic but it still caused waves when we didn't get married in church or baptize our children.

The Catholic Churches profession of faith.

What my husband and I and our family believes. What we teach our children along with 12 billion Catholics worldwide.

I believe in God the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified-died-and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the father almighty. From there HE WILL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THW DEAD. I believe in the Holy Spirit. The holy Catholic Church. The communion of saint. The forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. Amen.

My husband was raised Lutheran, and I wasn't brought up with religion at all.

We're both atheist though.

I was born and raised Mormon and my husband was born and raised Lutheran. I've been to his church a few times and he's been to mine.

I'm more active in my religion than he is. I want to raise our son in the Mormon church but he doesn't want that, so we have compromised and said we would find a church together that we both enjoy to raise our son in - something nondenominational just to introduce him to God and His teachings.

I want God to be part of his life as a child and when he's old enough to make his own decision whether or not to continue going to church ill let him.

We shall see!

Religion has been a HUGE debate between but I'm glad we finally worked something out. I'll be sad to switch churches but I plan on popping in the LDS church once in a while because it is close to my heart.

Ima a Christian and my hubby is a free minded guy. Sometimes it's. A problem when he questions or tells me I'm just blind and blah blah but other than that no and when people ask me I say he Grew up baptist.

My ex and I were different religions and we got along great. My now ex fiancé and I were both Christians and it was awful. I'd rather be with an atheist than a poor excuse of a Christian.

I guess I'm technically Cathie because ive done my confirmation as catholic but I don't practice anything and don't believe soooo.

Same with SO his family is catholic but he doesn't have much opinion on all of that.

But sometimes I would like my daughter to go to church and attend CCD or something to have a foundation and something concrete to base her morals off of. Although, my parents didnt raise me religiously and I think my morals are fine, idk.

Neither SO or myself partake in religion. I guess a lot of his side of his family wasn't aware of this and it came up shortly after my first borns funeral. One of SO's aunts told me that I'd never see my son again because I don't believe in god. No, I'll never see my son again because he died. Thanks. ? She was joined by a handful of other family members, who have not had any contact with SO, myself, or my children since. I sure as hell don't have time for religious intolerance in my life. ?

@ pp - I had an ex, that followed LaVey as well, he went with more of a "humanist" label so he didn't have to explain to people exactly what it was each time he was asked.

Hmm I do not know much about Aleister Crowley but I am sure I will have to look it up now.

Here is a wonderful description to describe his religion/views....

The only "god" in LaVeyan Satanism is the Satanist himself. Satanism is a celebration of the self. It encourages people to seek their own truths, indulge in desires without fear of societal taboos, and perfect the self.

No it's what he calls it. I just looked it up its called LeVeyan Satanism.

My family is Christian but not very religious. My husbands family is Jewish. We are both atheist.

Religion doesn't cause any problems for us but I foresee issues with my in laws as far as our kids go. I told them they could introduce our kids to their faith and the kids could decide. They have already mentioned that they don't want it to seem like it's "their religion" and we don't support it. Which is tough luck because I would never present any religion to my kids as something I believed in!

I am a Christian and my SO is a type of Satanist (he doesn't worship the devil). I don't understand his views but from what I gather he believes that there is no God but he is a god himself. Its confusing to me. Me and him actually butt heads on religion quite a bit. It has started mild fights before. I want our daughter to be raised knowing about God and hopefully practicing the Christian faith but he doesn't. Religion is really the only thing we struggle with in our relationship. It really bothers me when he says my views aren't real but we get over it. It's the one thing that keeps me from believing I want to marry him.

I think there's a difference here too about practicing and non practicing. It's one thin to both be super religious I think if you are then you want your kids to have those specific beliefs .... My husband and I are both Catholics. We don't go to church every Sunday but we do want to raise our children with those traditions . My husband is Mexican and the Catholic faith is important religiously and culturally for his family. Now I have dated lots of guys of different faiths and I would have been happy marrying aman of a different faith if I loved him but I also realized that for me it was important my kids have my traditions. I know that's selfish of me but I do support them in whatever they choose to believe in life no matter what that is... Good luck honey religion is always a rough topic with family who are very religious...

I'm Muslim but do not not mind dating/marrying a man of a different faith. As long as he believes in 1 God and respects what I believe, we can be a great couple.

I was raised Methodist(sp?) and df was raised Baptist. We're both not religious now and it doesn't cause fights or arguments, unless its with his family on certain things their church doesn't agree with.

My SO was raised catholic. So was my mom. They did all the church school and everything. But I never grew up really going to church. I told my SO that I wanted to do the church classes so we could get married in the Catholic Church but he doesn't want anything to do with that religion. Same with my mom.

My SO and I have different faith. He was raised to be a conservative catholic and I was raised by a non religious single mom I am now a "laid back" Christian of that makes sense. I take dd to his church and want her baptized as a Catholic. I believe she has the right to choose whatever religion she wants.

I also grew up Mormon and DH grew up Christian, but a very different type of Christian. DH is VERY atheist, I am more agnostic, but lean a little more towards atheism. I am much more open and understanding about things, whereas DH automatically shuts them down.

It is so comforting and inspiring to hear you ladies share your experiences. Thank you. My mother has the most difficult time accepting the fact that I don't practice the mormon faith any more (I understand its incredibly important to her and she just wants me to be happy) but its difficult because she told me she can't be happy or excited for me because my baby isn't going to be born in her faith.

I was raised Mormon as well I am an active member but I haven't always been. My husband didn't have any religion really growing up he's not active in now. We have 2 kids and one on the way. We agreed that the Mormon religion offers good family values and the kids go with me to church. We will wait until they make their own choice to which religion they want to be apart of they won't be pushed to any religion. A lot of people don't understand it but it works for us they have religion in their life. We pray as a family everyday and we do family home evening. My husband is supportive in my choice of religion he will even go with us sometimes.

Same. It's not possible for me to follow Yeshua (Jesus) how he called me to and have a husband that believes something different.

Нравится Ответить

I believe in God. I don't believe in religion though. My husband doesn't believe in God or religion. The only time it ever really causes any issues is when he says he wants to go to church and learn about God, but then won't follow through and actually go or he talks crap about God or does something else like that. I have never pushed God onto him but other people before me have so he has a bit of a negative association with it. It can be difficult because I feel like our values are different, I can't say if thats because of our differences in what we believe or not though.
