I really don't know why religion have to come in between our relationship.

Ladidi and myself were into a serious relationship back then, she is the definition of what a beautiful lady should be. I love her to the point that i can't do anything without seeing her face. She was caring, nice and so hard working, she equally love me as well. Though her elder sister was against the relationship because am a christian, but that didn't stop Ladidi from loving me.
The relationship wax stronger, better and very sweet year after year.

On the 10th of May 2012, Ladidi called to tell me that she can't continue with the relationship because of the pressure from her side and my side as well. My heart was broken, i couldn't eat for some days all because of religious difference. Though she's married now, she still find time to call me and we talk at length, but i feel so bad.

Please pardon my use of English.




Should religion be a barrier to relationship?

I just dont knw why such things like this would be debated upon redundantly and be an issue only in Nigeria...

No, but you're in Nigeria, where religion (kinda) rules everything. And I mean everything.

Yes, there's the way things are and there's the way things should be. Once you accept that, maybe you will feel better with your decisions. I'm sure you'll find love again sa.

Omotayor123, AirSultan and Smellymouth would love you guys to say something about this please.

yea.
Religion is a barrier!
take for instance .u can't expect a TRUE believer- Christian to marry a Muslim or someone of another religion.
If he/she does dat, DAT means both of u are jokers..- believe me they are not Christian .they are just going to church.

Sorry sir, were is it written in the Holy Bible that you shouldn't marry a Muslim or any other religion?

It shouldn't. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered especially in a country like Nigeria where Tribalism has taken over.

Hmmmm, if you truly love a guy, can you let religion issue come between the both of you?

Don't mislead the lad, why is religion a barrier?

Pastor W.F Kumuyi of DLCM married a muslim (fanatic) Mrs Abiobun Kumuyi (he's first wife) does that makes him less holy?

In christainity intermarriage among religion doesn't makes you a less believer. Religion should never be a barrier between lovers

EXODUS 34:16 God forbids inter-religious marriages because He didn't want their sons and daughters to be tempted to follow another religion that worships false gods. God knew that sometimes, the believing party in the marriage would be tempted to go to the false religion to maintain marital unity, thereby forsaking God Himself. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV) If a person is anything other than a Christian, they are considered unbelievers. It doesn’t matter which “God” they profess to believe in. If they do not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, as God in Flesh, they reject Christianity and are unbelievers, as defined in the Bible. Let me repeat it: If your spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend is not a Christian, they are unbelievers, and the scripture warns against close relationships–especially romantic ones.

Love sometimes doesn't help in this kind of matter except if you are ready to sacrifices your religion for him or her.

There will always be problem when couples have different religion views. I advice couples to share the same belief and faith.

Mrs Abiodun kumuyi got converted from Islam to Christianity in 1972 and married pastor kumuyi in 1980 ..

I disagree with you Tayo.

Check your signature again.

It shouldn't be a barrier but it's hard to maintain a healthy relationship when you begin to have kids.

Both of you believe your religion is the ideal one and since you want the best for your kids, you'd prefer they serve your God.

If you're mature enough to settle issues like this at the pre wedding stage, you should be okay.

But I don't think I can marry someone who doesn't share my belief. It's my core and I should be able to share it with my spouse.

Smellymouth:
Lol

Boss, you gats say something oh, cos am falling in love with a beautiful Muslim lady again

Hmmm! but what if you're deeply in love with the person, will you let him go like that all because of religion?

Who r d unbelievers if I may ask bruhs?

greatness22:

It's hard to be deeply in love with person who doesn't understand your core.

I need a man I can talk to about my spirituality. A man I can pray with, that I can go to church with and who will teach my kids the Word.

Religion shapes our core and our core affects our being.

annnikky:

An unbeliever is someone that doesn't believe in Jesus as his/her saviour and also do the will of The Father-God wholeheartedly.. Muslim and others with those dat just attend church service and called themselves Christian but do not have 'Christ like' character are UNBELIEVERS..

I think sharing the same view about politics strengthen their bound.
Bola and remi are politicians... Politicians will hold hands with anybody. Even their worst Enemy.


I had like that love to find me a Muslim brother
