Hello Nairalanders,

Happy Sunday.

I've been a guest but I have an issue that I need matured minds opinion on.

I met this lady sometime last year, we started dating a while after. She ticks every item on my list; we think so much alike that even before saying anything, we already know what each other is thinking.

Financially we are both independent and earn very well. We are looking at settling down in a year or two but we have an issue.

I'm a Christian even though I barely go to church, I still have the installed doctrines and all. She once said if she had knew I was a Christian, she wouldn't have accepted in the first place. For kids, we have agreed to raise them as Christians.

She on the other hand, she doesn't believe in religion, she believes in spirituality, she prays with all these candles, incests, eggs and stuff like that. She believes in astronomy, zodiac signs, people that see the future and all.

Today we had an argument about something religious and she got angry and repeated that if she knew I was a Christian, she wouldn't have accepted us in the first place.

For someone I'm looking at spending the rest of my life with, this religious differences are begining to cause me concerns.

So I want to ask, the married ones here that have experienced marriage, is it possible for this to work?

Is there a compromise that can be reached?

Marriage issues everyday

People overlook all these things but they are very important. Discuss further about your beliefs and take your decision.

Seems your religion never featured much in your life and choices up til this point so why suddenly want to change that now? To what end?

You obviously don't care much for God or anything about Him but you feel your kids should be indoctrinated, why?

You have been with this lady for a while now but suddenly you wish religion to begin featuring? Is it that you are tired of her and looking for a reason to bail out of the relationship? Be honest with yourself Mr. Man and stop trying to use religion as a reason..

RUN!!!!
