Search Results: do you have a religion

So if you are christian, jewish or muslim etc or just a devout believer is it a requirement that the person you date also is a christian etc or devout?

I, 33 (m) and my girlfriend of 2 months who I had been dating for 6 months before becoming exclusive, just had a conversation about how to raise kids. The topic just came up in conversion, and we both hold total opposite views on the matter. I believe that as a loving parent, it is unacceptable to beat your child as punishment. I hold this belief because I was occasionally beaten as punishment when I was a kid, and I have always told myself that I would never do this to my own children. She on the other hand was beaten as a kid, with a belt, and believes that after all it did not hurt her and straight forwardly said she would hit her kids as punishment (e. g. for not doing their homework and getting a teacher's note).

We had a calm discussion about this where I explained my views and fave examples of situations and explained why I believe there ware other ways to educate children. However, her only real point was, that it didn't harm her in the long run. However, I am not so sure about that, because of how casually she mentioned she would be OK with hitting a child.

We also disagree on other topics, such as religion and lifestyle. However, for now these have not created big fights, but I am sure they will down the line.

Would you break up with her?
