Hi guys, would like to seek advises regarding interfaith rship.
We clicked quite well these few months but have yet to get tgt. The only concern is diff in religion.
I do go church with her, but might not convert to Christian in the future.
She did say she hope she can have the her future partner can have same faith with her. and her mom might not like it too.
Any thoughts on this?

Hey There

Don't feel so down because of the difference of religion in your relationship. I am for one, a strong Christian since birth and now I have a wife which is a Buddhist, and let me give you our story so that you have a better point of view.

During my dating days with my girlfriend (which is now wife), her parents also didn't really like me because I was a Christian, as they are afraid that I might convert her to Christianity and all. But after our 6 years of dating, I manage to show her parents that converting her to Christian was not my intention, and I do respect all religion, so she is free to do whatever she wants and I am free to go church every Sunday and sometimes she does follow me to church as well.

After some time, her parents decided to finally accept me for who I am, and even allowing her daughter to follow me to church on Sundays as well, as long as I do no affect her religion ways and vice versa hers to me, I think we are doing fine.

Fast forward to now, my wife is 3 months pregnant, and the religion of the kids would most probably be Christian, because she said so herself, this is her exact words "next time the baby come out I wan bring the baby to church every Sunday to join the toddler's class so the baby can make friends".

So I do believe that religion is really how to approach it, I mean as long as you do not affect your gf's Christianity, I think it should be fine, and yes the Bible does say do not be unequally yoke, do take note that Bible is a guide and word from God. For example, your dad tell you "eh son, don't go eat that orange, cause the orange spoil already, later you get stomach ache". But you don't care and went on to eat the orange and you get stomach, does that mean your dad don't love you and don't care about you anymore? No right. haha

Anyway, good luck in your relationship.

Hey there

Nope, I don't follow my wife to temple and prays, her family knows that and they are ok with it as well. Also during our marriage day, her side of the family got up early to give respect to the ancestors before me and my heng dai reach her hose for the tea ceremony.
