Mixing Faith

Some one asked how people from different faiths or religions can make a relationship work.
To open i have to say...You fall in love with a person....not a religion! With love should come respect for each persons beliefs. Love without respect is doomed from the start! Any clergy , priest, priestess...even any shaman, god or goddess or will tell you that.In my teens i dated a Catholic and very much enjoyed celebrating his faith with him. Even though i did not share the beliefs it was nice to be there for someone. Participating in a loved ones faith {even if it is not yours} is to share in the soul of them. Understanding that the other persons faith is a major part of who they are...and appreciating that fact is a true act of love and respect. If you are really in love with someone...remember our faith guides us to where we are today.Be thankful that the one you love has a solid footing in some thing spiritual...no matter what it is.
