Doesn’t it also depend on which religions and the level of dogma? Some are ‘harder’ than the others

I think it depends on how religious the two people in the relationship are + how strongly they feel about religion vs their relationship. Have seen people from strict religions make it work (have a Christian friend who’s partner is Muslim) and have seen relationships not able to survive when the two people were a different flavor of the same religion

Hindu married to a Christian. His parents haven't accepted me or our wedding yet. We both aren't religious and it has worked out fine for us

Yep- I am Christian and my husband is Jewish. Some tough conversations need to happen early on but if you both love each other, you will work through it together with respect and support for your differences. Most important advice I can give is make the decisions on your future and what you do/do not believe yourselves. As in- don’t let your families or parents determine what and who you are together in your future

I’m Hindu and my husband is half Muslim. Worked out well for us bc he’s atheist and I follow my religion however it’s a whole another story after we had our first baby. My family would want to do stuff acc to the Hindu culture while he didn’t see eye to eye on any of those rituals and that would escalate to disagreements
I still don’t care bc at the core he’s a wonderful man but my family can be a little overwhelming for someone from outside of my culture

Yep- it didn’t work out for me😅 after 2 years when we were talking of marriage his mom suddenly was unsupportive, he was all like ‘I don’t want our kids to grow up following any religion’ etc etc. He got married to someone else who follows the same religion as him, I’m still out here looking lol

It was extremely difficult.

His entire family and church social network essentially cut him off about 1 nanosecond after we got married. Their church didn’t advocate marrying outside of their religion, and parents were shamed if their children did not comply. After the wedding (which they initially threatened to not attend), they didn’t speak to us for 2 years - until he was diagnosed with cancer. After we got through that they kept flooding him with messages about how our marriage wasn’t “real” as we didn’t get married in their church. They promised to forgive him for shaming them by marrying me if he would leave and return to their religion.

We’re divorced.

OMG. So sorry OP. Sounds like you’re better off without him but I can only begin to imagine the heartbreak.

My brother married a woman of a different faith. Our mom is not happy but they’re doing fine atm. No kids yet though. I have friends who are making it work but it takes *a lot* of conversations, negotiations, and diplomacy.

We got married! Our parents gave us issues but we fought back. Married for 4 years and not even one argument about religion. Why? Because we aren’t really religious! We don’t have kids yet, and will be honest our religion difference sometimes make us not want to have kids. Not because of us but because we know it will require us to figure out a challenge that how to raise kid with basically both or no religion at all

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager.

My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?

My husband yells at me in front of my 2 years old, even when he is scared. He needs to express his anger out before he can shut down. I am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...
