If your SO's family (not your SO) told you that they would never accept you into their family or give you their blessing to marry if you did not join their religion, what would you do?
I am a generally pleasant and acceptable/accepting person.
To have someone or their family draw this kind of line in the sand, or any similar line, is deeply offensive. There is no love of any kind that I'd do this for.
Something's wrong with anyone's family who'd ask this and something's wrong with any person who'd ask it, also.
No. But my ex wanted to convert to Christianity to marry me.
It was his wish, I never asked him to.
i would only join for the sake of getting through the marriage. but if i converted my partner would have to understand that it was merely an act. they'd have to know that i'm not religious and converting wouldn't lead to me attending church, following the tenants, etc
That's just stupid.
You cannot just "convert" to one religion or another like nationalities.
You will need to have the belief and semblance, else be found out as an imposter.
Too many daft cunts try and play the game, to later get found out.

My fiancè and I are going through something similar.
I'm not Muslim, but my family is. Now, no one actually cares if my partner is Muslim or not on my side, but if we ever wanted to go to visit my background country, they wouldn't let my fiancè hold my hand, share the same hotel or do anything couple-like. Unless, he converts. Same with our future children; they wouldn't be recognised at legitimate there. So, my family asked him to pretend to convert, just say the words in front of the marriage celebrant, get the conversion certification - Because at the end of the day, you don't convert because of a piece of paper or saying words. My Muslim family know that it's what's in his heart that matters. So he's not Muslim, but he can technically convert in the eyes of dumb oppressive governments to be with me.
TLDR: You won't actually convert if it's not what you believe in your heart, if that helps, so feel free to say whatever you want to governments/families who dug their own grave by asking this of you anyway to be with the only love of your life (inviting inevitable lies/deception).
My wife is Catholic and I was baptised in the Lutheran church but never went to church. I was pretty sour on becoming a Catholic just to get married. My wife really wanted to get married in the church. Fortunately the priest was a pretty cool guy and he said as long as I was baptized someplace I would be good to go.
My brother converted to Catholicism to get married,. Then his wife went off the deep end and joined the Jehovahs Witnesses. I guess the joke was on him.
Yes i would. But deep within i can practice whatever i want. Because i dont believe religion should divide people but bring them together. Humans have long used religion for evil and manipulation instead of good. I would start with myself and change that
For her family, no way. I will let her practice her religion if I truly love her. For instance, I might accept the customs of other religions but not convert of course.
I read on all three religions but some fundamental things conflict with me. I am purely monotheistic. Other things I might accept but not associating partners with God.
If the woman is love of my life I would not force her to join mine as I wouldn't join hers. In the end we are humans.
Before that person became "the love of my life", I'd already know that she didn't need nor want me to change religions.
Never. I would lie and pretend to be religious. And I wouldn't be compatible with someone who was devoutly religious.
no one is worth it to go to hell for the eternity.
i would ignore family same as other non religious issues.
Nope. Thought about it, but didn’t. Can’t lie to another person let alone myself. It would be the ultimate definition of pussy-whipped.
That's not possible. Practicing a religion is a choice. Believing one is not. I don't.
Nope. And I would never ask someone to do so, as someone who could alter a worldview for that reason is not someone I'd want to be with.
No God would put someone perfect for me without me having to give him up
I'm a heathen anyways, so might as well. Unless it's a non Christian religion in which I don't believe in
I'll never change my religion because i'm happy with it...
I wouldn't marry someone who believes imaginary things are real.
No way! My faith is not negotiable.
Absolutely not, no.
