I believe it wouldn't..

What's your thoughts....

it depends upon the individual

for me, I can befriend anyone, but I would only partner with a fellow christian,,,

as harmony said, it matters. If a person's "religion" is just a "belief" then it probably won't matter. People's "beliefs" change throughout life, heck most to all Americans believed as kids a fat guy flys around in a sled pulled by a few reindeer. If a person truly believes and lives on that which they believe, then yes it possibly would/could cause some form of troubles.

to me personally it does . i cannot date someone who does not believe in God .in oder to date me it's either u are catholic,baptist,methodist,pentecostal or anglican if not do not bother

I'm that same way. When I "date" someone, I don't unless I think that person may lead into more later down the road. I don't believe in "testing the waters" so to speak.

It matters to me.

It matters to me. No fundies of any type need apply.

Lol I had to google that slang word.

Idealy it would matter but it limits the playing field a great deal. Will God bring that ideal partner along, or is he limited by what's available?

Adam could not find a wife in his circumstances because no women existed, so God had to perform a miracle. But today in our circumstances, God cannot create a wife for us, since we are in a fallen state, and she would be sinless and immortal and would find us repulsive to name just a few problems with that.

So if there are no suitable women i.e. Christian, then Gods hands are tied.

How can he give us something that does not exist?

Any thoughts on this?

Five years ago when I first came here I'm sure I answered this question "no, couples do not have to be the same religion." However, now, after dating for a while, I say that religion does matter. Both people do not have to be the same religion, but they should probably have similar beliefs.

Ditto.

my thought is what is 'suitable' is subjective

what is suitable , for me, is what is compatible

I am not perfect, nor do I expect a partner to be,, but I do limit it to someone who is going to be living in the lifestyle I choose to live in because of the potential to become 'one life' and because of the desire to work as partners in raising our children in the lifestyle we choose for them,,,

That's fine with me, I would say no mentles.

So what do you believe and what power does that belief have, try and sell me your God, gods, aliens etc.

But in regards to finding a suitable Christian partner and hoping that God will bring us together.

How can God do that if there are no suitable Christian women my age group etc?

What do we do if that's the case?

Lets say it was the case, do we seek anyone then regardless of beleif. I just need a woman who wants a strong rest of her life commitment and enjoyes romatic long walks holding hands and watching the sunset and then going home and hitting the bed springs, not a woman who wants to take a long walk off a short plank, if you know what I mean.

I cant grasp the question

'How can God do that..'..



.to be honest,,,,

Id sooner accept that God does not mean for everyone to have a romantic partner, or that the partnerships will happen in his Time ,,,,,


I think God made many strong enough to live without romantic partnership,,, I believe he gives us what we can handle

How can God give us what is not available?

God can do anything but that requires a miracle.

What shall God take one of my ribs and turn it into a woman?

Yes he can do that for he already demonstrated that with the creation of Eve, but it would be silly to expect that to happen now.

So tell me what miracle can God do today under these present times?

Would you like him to zap you and make you fall in love with me?

I think you would not, so would he do it to some other woman?

God cannot give me what's not there, he cannot make a woman like me, well he could but I do not think God would be that cruel

i think not...

religion doesnt matter but conflicts does for life for love. every religion has similar and dissimilar views. dissimilar views can be strictly against one another. when views contradict if u can live with your partner doing opposite to what u believe to be against ur religion and be happy .. then no problem. otherwise life is hell.
