Relationships with Different Religion

[didyay]

A friend of mind was married to his husband on civil rites. Catholic ang religion niya samantalang yung lalaki Christian. If two would compromise with the situation, it will still be a happy ending.

[kittypowerranger]

^ correct la naman kaso yun if you really love each other

[mademoiselle]

My husband is Chinese and Buddhist we married in a Catholic Church though and signed from the church stating that our future children will be baptized as Catholic as well, he doesn't have any problem with that and I don't have problem going to their temple to pray it's just a matter of respect in once faith. So our different religion was never an issue to issue and hopefully it wont in the future

Question:

What if the partner is INC? Can they marry each other in civil if the other partner is Catholic?

[jefsie10]

^ hi sis, catholic ako before INC si hubby, sa civil kami nagpakasal kaya si hubby natiwalag sa INC, after our civil wedding nagpadoctrina ako to be INC tapos si hubby nagbalik loob

[didyay]

^Aww. That's nice to know. Ikaw na yung nagpa convert para makapagbalik loob siya. I'm sure bukal na loob mo magpa convert. 

[mooncake and leaves]

it matters. a lot. even when you're both not as devout as you'd think, of course it has an effect on the relationship. where you get your values, your principles- affected pa din yan ng religion.

but of course, it doesn't mean it's a definite no, it will not work. but i think being realistic about it, admitting that it can cause problems, is a much better way of handling it than arrogantly thinking that love conquers all.

i'm catholic, my husband is a born again christian.. dati we planned to get married sa catholic church, ok lang kay hubby kaya lang napreggy ako ng wala sa oras kaya sa civil na lang.. si baby na baptize sa catholic church, wala naman reklamo si hubby...

ang usapan kasi namin dapat irespect ang kanya kanyang religion, walang pilitan na magpaconvert ng religion kasi from the start sinabi ko na i was baptized catholic di na magbabago yun...

ang mahirap lang pag nag aatend ng mass kami lang 2 ng anak ko, di buo ang family... tapos sa bahay walang image ng mga santo kasi bawal sa kanila yun,  pumayag na rin ako...

we love and respect each other kaya di naging malaking factor sa amin yung different religion..dinadaan na lang namin sa compromise minsan mga bagay like yung church kung saan binyagan yung anak, school na papasukan ng mga bata etc.

I'm a catholic and Jewish Christian si Bf (sabadista) ok naman kami. actually 5th year anniversary namin tomorrow. Yey! bawal talaga sa religion nila na mgkarelationship with other religion. Wala daw sya magawa kasi ako ang gusto nya.  (kilig!) ok naman kami so far, we just respect each others beliefs. if were ready na to get married, we plan to do it civil. As long as there is respect and love for each other, everything will be alright. 

[pullandbear]

mahirap yan. kahit gaano nyo kamahal ang isa't isa darating ang point na kelangan mamili kung aling religion ang ipa-follow. isa yan sa mga dahilan kaya kami nagbreak ng ex ko. pareho kaming devoted sa kanya kanyang religion. walang mag-give in.

Take Shamcey (Supsup)'s advice on Relationships and Religion - that's some good advice.

Although, I did hook up with a few muslim girls -- mmmm.

[kuliglig^^]

I'm a Born Again Christian and my hubby's a Seventh Day Adventist. We always fight about food na bawal sa kanila, and some doctrines regarding the bible. Mahirap talaga. Civil wedding lang kami, pero if hindi kami on a time crunch and budget (with the baby on the way), Christian wedding kami. His family doesn't mind naman.

He's not close minded naman to the fact that he might be a Born Again someday, kasi dun na siya nag-aattend sa amin. Pero as of now, hindi pa raw. Ayoko rin naman kasi ng pilitan.

^Aww. That's nice to know. Ikaw na yung nagpa convert para makapagbalik loob siya. I'm sure bukal na loob mo magpa convert. 

hi sis nakakarelate naman ako.. kaso ako im catholic also as pf now, si bf namn nagpapacover pa lang nagpapadoctrina sya ngayon. he would really convince me, im willing to give it a try naman sis. How did ur family reacted to that? medjo close minded kasi parents ko eh?

another question, un mag bf gf ba kayo have u talked about converting na, para kasi sakin everytime nia ako hinihikayat eh he's rushing na yata  for marriage.

[fairytink]

complicated.. actually pwede namang dedmahin kaso darating at darating pa din kayo sa point na talagang mapag uusapan eh at di maiiwasan yun.. hays.. i can truly relate here.. sana malagpasan namin ito..

Question:

What if the partner is INC? Can they marry each other in civil if the other partner is Catholic?

no, kahit civil di pwede, ititiwalag un taga inc. my question is pag mag gf bf pwede ba?

[slickchick]

^ sis, if you're asking if pwede ba maging mag-bf/gf ang isang INC and non-INC, hindi rin. matitiwalag din yung INC. he/she has to convince his/her bf/gf to convert para hindi sya matiwalag. i am not an INC, but my ex-bf (who's also the father of my son) was, so i have an idea how things work from an INC's standpoint.

[j a n i z]

actually sa INC, mag bf at gf pa lang bawal na, supposedly ititiwalag nga pero madalas binibigyan naman ng chance, i mean wala pa ako nabalitaan na nag bf o gf na natiwalag. natitiwalag na lang pag nagpakasal ng di naconvert yun isa or nag live in.

[whatswithjuly]

naalala ko dito un caller ni papa jack siguro 1-2 weeks ago. sabi ni papa jack, bakit daw magbebreak? dahil sa religion. di parang ginawang mo pang kasalanan ni God bakit di kayo pwede.

[muahmuahmuah]

^that's a good one.

Hello there - I am unable to find a suitable topic where I can post my "problem". My bf of 6 months is an active member of Iglesia ni Cristo while I am an active member of my church (Seventh Day Adventist). Everything is working well with our relationship except our conflict in religion. We dare not talk about it as we are trying to avoid conflicts which might eventually lead to arguments and worst, breakup.

I know someday we will have to deal with this but I am afraid of losing him. I have met his family and they are nice to me. My family treats him well too. I don't know how to resolve our issue.

Has anyone here experienced the same? Please share your thought as I am serious in keeping our relationship and am hoping that we would get married and have our own family someday. Thanks!
