~*Anyone ever have their prospective mate to convert to their religion or vice versa? How was it (hard/easy)*~

My ex-husband "converted" to Catholicism before proposing to me because he knew that I'd never marry a non-Catholic. He didn't tell me that he was going to convert until he'd already been taking the classes for several weeks and had a timetable for when he would be baptized.

However, within 3 months of our wedding, he was making excuses not to go to Mass, etc. It was not a sincere conversion.

When I divorced him, this made it easier for me to get the marriage annulled in the eyes of the Church. He was Christian but just not Catholic, a Baptist. I don't know if it's more common for the men or the women to convert. I know that I'd never convert for anyone.

Are you nuts!?!

Religion isn't a game! Both of you guys better figure out what each of you believe for yourselves first. And if they don't line up. You probably shouldn't get married. If you guys really don't believe in anything, then you would be good to go, but if at least one of you has a certain passion, then your doomed and should break it off! You will have many arguments and heartbreaks down the road. Even more once kids come in the picture. If you are willing to convert, than you obviously don't believe in your "god of choice" So you better hope he is not real.

Personally you should both follow Jesus Christ

Rom 10:9

I used to be raised as a Methodist and through the years grew to become agnostic. In aspect, I grew to become agnostic for the reason that I found out that my Dad used to be and notion his factors had been legitimate (although he used to visit church with us, he did not fairly think in God. He nonetheless notion that Jesus had a few well strategies.) I do not for my part think there may be any technique to realize if there is a God or no longer in the market. Even if a god made the sector, then who made god? There's constantly a different query. Also, I noticed that plenty of my Christian peers/neighbors had been very hypocritical. They might move out and do dangerous matters after which simply express regret. They additionally stated that they had been going to heaven for the reason that they believed in God and that if I did not/could not that I might move to Hell in spite of doing (on the whole) well. My moral sense says there may be some thing improper with that point of view, and I do not wish to think in that variety of faith/god. I do think in some thing past myself regardless that, for what that is valued at.

Converting is not a requirement...in the Catholic faith, the couple can be married in the church as long as one of them is a Catholic. I am Catholic and my fiance has chosen to become a baptized Catholic before we get married...it is something he has always wanted to do, but is doing it before we get married so that our ceremony can have a full Mass.

My husband and I are seprate but it is only between a Catholic and a Lutheran, so not a big difference. However, we agreed that when we have children they would be raised Lutheran, as faith is more important to me. I know that tradition in the Midwest says that a couple is married in the female's church and faith. But in this day and age, I would think that you could do whatever you wanted.
