Only if one or both of them aren't sincere about their religion. Because each religion explains the world as an entire concept, by acknowledging another religion as having equal validity or meaning, they're acknowledging one of three things;
1. Their partners thoughts/beliefs are stupid and don't matter either way
2. Their beliefs are incomplete and the belief system can't support itself
3. They don't actually believe or practice their religion beyond what they call themselves; buddist, catholic, islamist etc.
Because if they really believe or follow their belief system they'll believe it explains itself, life as a whole, the past, the future (not predict necessarily but explain) and the universe. So joining themselves to someone that believes not only that they're incorrect but that there's another whole explanation, just doesn't make sense. It not only disadvantages them but anyone who believes the same thing they do because that's another person who believes what they do, who could build them up in their faith and start off with the same mindset who's dating someone who doesn't instead. The only positive to this is I'd they're part of a destructive religion but that's not going to be much good for them either way.
TLDR; Yes if it doesn't matter to them because they're not following it anyway but if they're following it, it just doesn't make sense for them to.

No, if one of them are muslim. The muslim women are not allowed to marry guy from other religion, and law in most of the islamic country does not allow that thing to be happen. If they want to get married, the guy must convert his religion to Islam. But most of the guy would refuse that. They're couples who take solution to marry in other country that allow to have mixed-religion marriage. The same thing apply if the guy is muslim.
So, avoid relationship with muslim if you're not willing to convert your religion to Islam.
Nah don't even think about it. hahaha.
Some believe that their own religion is correct but other religions are just there own which somehow got screwed up through translations and different cultures. Basically they think that people can find God through most religions but are living only half right. Anyway, they think that god is present in all of the religions (or most).
This is rare. VERY RARE.
Belief is not the problem though. The REAL problem is lifestyle.
example: a lot of variations of christians are have unorthodox behaviors. Wild people but Catholics are formal and often they, dare I say brainwashed to believe and say and do what they've been told from the age of 3yrs old.
Compatibility only gets worse if I mention more religions.
Then there is the part where in almost every religions bible says stuff like this:
2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
There's about 60 verses in christanity that "warns" the problem with being with different religions.
This is what the Bible calls being "doubly yoked". It refers to a beast of burden with 2 yokes instead of 1 (twice as much work). It depends on which 2 religions are involved. My wife is Jewish and has different eating habits. This often calls for us to prepare 2 different meals rather than just 1. I pretty much had to give up eating pork although I like pork chops, ham, bacon, etc.

Yes, depending on how orthodox they are. My dad is Jewish and my mom was Catholic. My sister and I were raised as reform jews (basically not orthodox Jewish, we don't keep kosher) but also celebrated some Christian holidays (mainly Christmas, and we also did Easter baskets), but not seriously. Even after my sister and I have left, my parents are still happily married. You would think there would be tension with the other family members, mainly my grandparents, but despite my mom's parents being very devout Catholics, we all remain very close. It also can sometimes mean that we seem to get presents more (not really, just spread over more holidays, but is a fun thought). Secular Judaism (not conservative or orthodox) is often very compatible with other religions in my opinion due to the many common beliefs, contingent on the other person also not being overly conscientious over religion. Nearly all my friends are and were Christian, but when one of them became overly Christian (I hesitate to use the word Christian fundamentalist because some are even more extreme) we had a falling out due to them trying to pressure me to convert (should have seen something like that coming when we were younger due to his mom forgiving me for doing something wrong by excusing it as being the devil's fault and not mine). Anyway, to sum it up, interfaith relationships can work if neither places pressure on the other to convert and are more secular than orthodox.
It can it’s typically stronger than that of two a singular belief.
It’s simple to live someone who nods their head yes in agreement to your thoughts. It’s easy to dismiss others thoughts as stupid or uninformed when they’re strangers. But when you love a person you respect them & understand them. Then where before was dismissal now comes actual interest. You engage in interesting detailed conversation. Describe your experiences & opinions your interpretation & your questions. When you can love & respect someone different you know it’s strong because it takes work to understand & be respectful. It opens the mind & heart.Depends on the religions and the strength of values they hold to those religions. It's really hard to think that in any serious context a Muslim and Jewish individual could work in a relationship context if they fully adhere to the tenets of their perspective religions. But if the Muslim isn't that religious I could see it. I actually met a guy like that. Fun guy to be around. He called himself a "Bad Muslim" and we laughed over it because I called myself a "Bad Christian". His girlfriend was hot af. Think she was raised Catholic if i'm not mistaken.
Ofc why not.
I am a Hindu and my girlfriend is Christian and we live in USA.
My religion preaches about accepting others and I think all the religions preach about loving others.
No religion is bad. What is bad are the stupid religion fanatics.
I love her religion too and she teaches me new things and her beliefs. I too teach her some of mine which are good.
It is better this way as the kids get to know about different things and their mind opens up. You just have to be open minded.Yes it can am a pagan trans woman and I have had rastional religious debates with civil Christians that use the bible and logic which does happens from time to time.
However fat chance with such a conviction with a Catholic, al though a Catholic man did once want anal sex with sex becuase it is Gods loop hole or something I laughed so hard loop hole anal sex, yeah api have immature moments but mehDepends on the religion and what their beliefs on ethics is. If the religions have the basic fundementals such as no drinking or no sex before marriage, it could very well work because they can relate to each other. I do believe it's hard to be in two very drastically different religions (Jehovas witness and Muslim for example), that's why people usually convert.
Yes. They just need to be open about it and understand each other’s differences, while at the same time appreciating them. This can be harder for those who are a bit more extreme, because there’s often a sense of pride and ego attached to what they believe in (”I’m right, you’re wrong, therefore I can’t stand you”). As long as you’re respectful and your core values match up, it could definitely work out.
I consider myself a Christian and my boyfriend considers himself Atheist. We have an incredibly understanding and loving relationship. I dated 3 Catholics before him and all 3 relationships were extremely abusive. Parents were against our relationship at first due to his Atheism, but when I explained that he treats me like a Christian man should treat his wife and the boyfriends before treated me horribly, they accepted him.
I think it depends on the religion, some of them can some of them will not likely work
I mean a religion that says that all family has to do this and that will not work well if the second religion can't do that or that
Like a religon that says you need to prey one day a year to this and this god out of the 8 gods, when the second says there is only one.. may not work so wellNo. Because one of them will have to convert to the other. Let me just say personally in my experience through my parents: NO, NO, NO! It only works when one or both doesn't have too many differences in morals, values, etc. You can have two Christians and both will not get along because they have differences in many areas. When children come along it gets worse. You would not have to care in order for it to work.
I think that as long as both of them respect the other, it can work just as good as with people of the same religion. Bonus! You get to learn about another religion in a most more intimate and truthfull way that internet could ever provide you! For a curious person like me, that's awesome!
Anything is possible. I believe in God and my husband doesn't so much believe in anything. We don't push our belief or disbelief on each other so it works. Of course I hope he developed some sort of faith eventually. But that's his own personal journey to take if he chooses too.
In regard to friendship, most definitely , as long as you don’t try to change the others persons religion. Relationship wise, it all depends on how religious/observant they are to begin with. If both weren’t that religious or observant, then yes it can work because there are no significant difference in beliefs. If they were brought up religiously, than both sides can definitely be in conflict
No. Not between people who are serious about what they believe in. In Christianity it is called to be, "unequally yoked" when being with someone who does not share the faith. It's an imbalance, it doesn't work when you truly believe in and follow Jesus to be with someone who does not know him.
Look I was married for ten years and me and my ex wife we both had different religions completely. But we both respect each other for it. So it can work as long as both party’s are ready to compromise on it if not then it not going to work at all. I left my ex wife of greed
Only if they are not religioys.
I had several friends who dated people from other religions and they initially while blinded with love said we can make it work.
It’s only when love fades and you start knowing the other person is very different to you and the problems start.
It will NEVER work in the long run unless you are both non practicising
Even had an aunt who married a opposite religious guy didn’t listjen to anyone and now she’s unhappy.Depends on the person's involved how self destructive and narrow minded they are.
A religion is a belief how to live life for those that needs something from someone else to fallow instead of creating their own to fallow.
If it's good or not is relative up on what someone has defined as such at some time no matter if it is their own creation or someone else that have been adopted.I’m a church goer myself, and there was this couple whom the husband was Muslim and the wife was Christian and it stayed that way for like 10 years. Eventually, the husband converted to Christianity. So yeah, it works. If it can happen between a Christian and a Arab Muslim than That proves it can work.
allah is a fairytale
jesus is a fairytale
