Would you change your religion for a woman?

Classic problem really, say you want to marry a girl and she is a different religion. If her family would want you to be baptised would you do it for her?

Or say you are christen and you have to become Muslim to marry your love.

Of course this is assuming you are not a particularly religious or devote person.

Oh god, don't get me started on Greek parents. And if they come from Crete or a village on the mainland.......you can forget their blessing

Tghey are all backward....even some in AThens...

YOu and the lady should decide what u wanna do and then give the fingers to the parents....if they wanna come along, fine, if not, stuff em. If you can find a greek lady like that, ur the luckiest lad alive!!

i think you know as well as me that you would never find a greek girl like that. Very few girls worth having will leave there family for a man. Best you can hope for is that they give you there blessing if you get baptised,

yep the above post sums up what all my friends have told me about Greek families. Its very much like Indian families. At least it’s a good few years before I have to think about it lol.

Btw sorry I did not make it to Prague (I don’t live in Prague anymore) to meet Chris so the next time I see her I will get her email.

yah more like that then anything else.

A truely great woman shouldn't make you choose, but likewise you shouldn't force them to choose either.

But a man should not make her pick between him and her family.

If that was the only way to get her families blessing I would do it. Ok im Hindu but not a practicing Hindu so if i was baptised it would be something just for show to please her family I would not actually start following the religion or anything like that.
