Religion that should be an ultimate tool of unity and peace in now a tool of division. What a pity.


Imagine some hypocrites telling this young girl that her feelings for the person she love are mere infatuation. In power of what you believe in, may the very thing they cherish be regarded as worthless by others.


Some even said she's not a Christian, for feeling what she should naturally and normally feel towards the one her heart chose, denying her of her religion. In power of what they believe, May they be denied and rejected for following their heart and choice at the most important stage of their life.


I wonder what is it in marriage when there no LOVE and CARE, yet some idiots are not even thinking of the most important ingredients of marriage, no wonder there are many pastors with extramarital sexual scandals.


If you believe they are not good for each not because they don't love each other, not because they are not ready to stand by each other at every stage of their life, not because they not faithful to each other, not because they are not ready to support and assist each at their darkest times, not because they won't be comfortable and happy with each others, not because they not ready to tolerate each other, but for some absurd and controversial reasons, then I pray with everything in me, may that same reasons prevent you from getting That very important thing you're looking for.


You should ask yourself why do pastors and alfas have marriage issues AT ALL, when they (above all things) strictly follow the criteria some hypocrites here pointing to.


My sister, I truly understand what you are going through at the moment, I can't help but to wonder, how can religion be causing this much emotional pain to its brethren.

If I should tell you to follow your heart at this part of the world , I'm just being unrealistic. The truth is that it's both of you against the world, so The question is, do you truly love each other, then are you both ready to fight your way to be together, can you cope, of course not with each other, but with the world which might include your families. Talk to your partner about the future, ensure you reach a definite agreement taking into consideration your children, inform your families about the agreement. You can even make it a written agreement. If both families are okay with the agreement. Then fine you are good to go, if they are not, then you fight your way, you have the law backing you, but honestly, I won't advise you to have issues with your families. So you should talk to your partner more on adjustment. And if you can't cope with the struggle, then you do what they want coz your peace of mind is important. Give yourself some time coz TIME is the only thing that can cure your heart after departing him. I'm sure you will get yourself back on track In no time, as a young graduate you still have your life to live and achievements to accomplish. During the process you might meet a CHRISTIAN guy, then you will know if you are to thank them or remind them.

It is really pathetic that religion divides more than it unites. You will be surprised to know that the inbred hatred and discrimination these overly religious folks have for people outside their religion folds is nothing compared to the kind they have for people who practised the same religion as them but who belong to the different sects. Both religion have more than ten denominations each and each sect from the same faith is always willing and ready to vilify and condemn the other to eternal destruction.

Having the same faith with your spouse is not a requisition for a happy home (marriage). This country, Nigeria,has given us enough proofs. We've seen what becomes of the marriage of some popular and revered clerics. So, it is absolutely peurile tying the fortune and, by extension, the afterlife of your unborn children to the religion of your partner.

Arijude:
you be a muslim. This is how they behave at first then when they finally get you , you are in soup.

Mr Christian, can you marry your fellow Christian going to another church , is your church a Pentecostal church? Can you marry a white garment church member. Can you marry a Jehovah witness, or can a Jehovah witness marry you? Can they? Can you? What about the ones that goes to church on Saturdays not on Sundays, do you like them? Are they right? Can you build a family with a dedicated member of one? What about members of churches like Oneness Pentecostals, Christadelphians, Christian Scientists, Dawn Bible Students, Living Church of God, Assemblies of Yahweh , Members Church of God International , Unitarian Christians, Unitarian Universalist Christians, The Way International ,The Church of God International, United Church of God, who all believes Jesus is not God but a prophet, can one of their dedicated members mother your children?

It's a pity that it's only the Muslims you see to be your problem with the real problem is so obvious and you're not even slightly any better.

So you would have preferred he is a Muslim who does not pray?

You Christians sha

No. The reality of it all dawned on me when Insaw him praying. How different we are and that was something I knew I couldn't live with.

Gentle0wavez:
Why would you be asking this, Yes it's important. It doesn't matter how nice he is, as long as he is an unbeliever, he is disqualified. The bible say don't be equally yoked ( marriage ) with unbelievers

Actually, what that favour verse which you misquote there is " Do Not Be UNEQUALLY yoked with an unbeliever".

And the meaning implies that whatever deal/contract you enter into with an unbeliever, be sure that the deal Is 50/50 for both parties.

The verse does not command that you not marry an unbeliever as many of you have been indoctrinated into believing. The author of the letter does not have any power to give you any commands of his own. He is instead to teach you that which is of Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ did not give you any commandments regarding who you can marry and religion.

Gentle0wavez:


Do Muslim believe that Jesus Christ is lord, if not then they are unbelievers, that's what I mean.

if Jesus is Lord,then God is what,if Jesus is God,who is son of God,so God can be killed by the people he created!

God bless you. I can't marry a Muslim or herbalist, no matter how rich is he.

I met this guy in my final year in school, we almost shared the same view in life, he possesed all the qualities I need in a man.

He's so caring, kind, handsome, a good pay Job n from a humble home, I can't deny the fact that I Love him.

But the issue is that he's a Muslim while am a christian lady.

Pls house does religion matters in marriage

It does

It is very important and extremely relevant. Except you want to leave your life for another person and regret it at old age.

Choosing a partner with the same religion requires carefulness too as hidden character traits are the sources of divorces. Most men are open and carefree at the beginning of marriage particularly during courtship which should not be so. Unlike you sampling opinions and seeking advices. Very good of you.

Imagine you are a Muslim and your lover is a Christian, would marriage matter? At first look and at the beginning of the marriage maybe not. But when the children are of age five and above where do they worship, mosque or church or babalawo? One of the partner could be insistent on his preference, kasala don burst be that and the damage could become irredeemable.

Choice of so many other things could determine the joys and sadness of a marriage and should be discussed and evaluated properly before making a choice of life partner. Parents advice is required and if your partner discouraged parents involvement in the initial choices before marriage you had better run for your dear life.

Avoid partners that knows about everything and also know many more things than your age. Religion is very important.

Religion is the fundamental constraint the world has.

frozen70:


It matters ohhh

If he will permit you and the children to practice Christianity, then he will be willing to wed you in a Christian church

But if he says otherwise, it's either you marry him and become a Muslim or you forget him and look elsewhere

Try and discuss it with him

even if she chooses the first option, the husband will marry a Muslim lady as second wife. there religion permit it

Ask God, not nairalanders.

In matters like this, you don't need to seek public opinion but Godly counsel
The Bible clearly states that you as a Christian should not be of equal yoke to an unbeliever
You have contrary beliefs+incompatible in religions)

Jesus is God, God is Jesus... So, God sent himself to the world as a living sacrifice to himself to solve the problem he created in the first place. Bible logic for you

Hmm I wanted to pass but decided to comment, all these material care, love and affection mostly ends after courtship once you enter the relationship tooor, you see another phase.


I was discussing with a woman that was telling me about when they were young and vibrant young girls that some refuse to date Christian young men that they're too stingy that the other side even leave their Card for them they have full access to their finances but you know what today most of those women are regretting.


Am not a fanatic when it comes to religion but we should consider many things;

1. The Bible says don't be equally yoked with.....
2. What happens to your children in the long run are they going to be Christians or.....
3. Sometimes after marriage you maybe required to convert to the other side.
4. One religion permits polygamy and the other frowns at it what if baba becomes tired of eating egusi and decides to taste afang
5. All these material things have led so many to their early grave as it's not all that glitters that is....


Let me rest here, but mind you is your family in support of it? If they're in support of selling you into slavery why should we say no. Goodluck

yes it does.

since he is a muslim, Islam permits him to marry a Muslim, Christian and a Jewish woman.

These are all allowed in Islam.

Take note of the fact that the issue of the faith of your kids will have to be discussed with him.

And, what are your feelings on the topic generally.

so many successful marriage between two faiths across the country and the world. it just takes a conversation between two of you and a commitment to whatever you agree to during marriage.

Wish you the best.

@op

No even try ma

1. They'll tell him to convert you
2. Eventually They'll get him a wife from his place that is muslim
3. He'll definitely force the kids to be Muslim
4. Even if you convert they won't see you as an original Muslim (tubehbeh in hausa)

Yes, it matters. You belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God but His religion does not believe that. Read 2Corinthians 6:14 - 18 and consider your decision. May the Holy Spirit guide and rule your heart. Stay blessed!

MufasaLion:


Nah. Only extremists do that. I don't give a bleep about anybody's religion. Religious people are tend to be too hypocrite, selfish and all even more than the main unbelievers.

That some people are hypocrite don't mean all religious people are hypocrite. Religion matters in relationship. In Christianity the two must become one after marriage. Islam permits polygamy while Christianity preaches monogamy. Therefore, two parallel lines cannot meet.

The same Jesus says I am the way, the truth and the life. Whosoever that must come to His father must come through him. So, why will someone who believe in Jesus will then marry someone that does not believe in Jesus? We are learning...

seyiomotunise:

I am a afraid you are mistaken. Paul is the one who said "Do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever".

Jesus Christ, on the other hand, gave you no rules as to who you can or can not marry. He left that decision up to you, my guess is in hopes that when you learn His truth, you will realize that it is best to let His Spirit lead your way even in this.

Why would someone marry anyone who does n't believe in Jesus Christ? The same reason people who believe in Jesus Christ, think tha as long as they see with their eyes that a person asks like a believer, it is enough for God. It is a choice thing really!

Think about it! Forget for a second that lie your pastors tell you that when you get to Heaven, you will be reunited with your loved ones and blah blah blah!!! The truth is that since even here on earth, Jesus Christ said those same loved ones will be your enemy and so you should ignore them if you want to become worthy of Him, chances are in Heaven, such relationships will likely remain meaningless. So, your wife/husband/children/mother/father etc. Are for here on earth, not Heaven.

Jesus Christ even said something curious while He was here on earth. When His mother and brothers, thinking Him crazy, came to visit Him, and the people with Him told Him that His family was looking for Him, Jesus Christ responded and said to them, His mother, brother and sister are those who do the Will of God, and not some earthly tag.

I said all this to mean that it really doesn't matter since the only person that can help you get into Heaven at the end of the day is not your wife or your husband or your father or your mother or any of your relatives. That decision is yours to make...you have to choose to accept(trust) and obey Jesus Christ's teachings/commandments all on your own, no input whatsoever from anyone else- you bear your own cross.

Don't let anyone deceive you. It is a big problem. Especially if he is a devout Muslim. Remember, in Africa, the extended family will use it as a weapon to sow evil seeds between you two.

Last time I check Tinubu is a Muslim and his wife is an ordained Redeem pastor and they've been married since 30+ years now...so depends. Tinubu is not a religious fanatic, his wife is not a liberal Christian.

if the man is a fanatic, run.

See how people price wahala on an empty stomach.

How can an adult Christian be asking such a question when it's clearly written in the Bible:
2 Cor. 6:14
