Lose my religion?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When it comes to dating and religion, I only have one rule: I don’t date (nor plan to marry) ministers. Of course, I only have this rule because I am a former PK - pastor’s kid!
Although, I feel that I had the best childhood ever (thanks Mom and Dad!), I can recall the challenges, too: I moved around a lot, I was in church practically every single day of the week (ok, that technically is a good thing), and I really think that my mom earned her angel’s wings by being a pastor’s wife. I am not pastor’s wife material, I am barely wife material! For these reasons (excuses?), I have convinced myself that any guy who aspires to be a preacher is off limits.
My parents always said that religion is something you can not ignore in dating, it’s important! What role does religion/spirituality play in dating for you?
If you are dating someone new, do you bring up religion early in the getting to know you stage? Do you invite them to go to church with you?
Do you think it is important to start a relationship with someone that has similar beliefs about religion, spirituality, etc?
Have you ever dated/married someone with a different religious background and converted?
Do you have any rules when it comes to dating and religion?
