i recently meet 2 girls that are very nice in character. both are equally attractive. the difference is 1 girl is a Christian and her family too, the other girl is Taoist and so her family.

my parents encouraged me to find a girl of same religion as they prefer someone with same belief and can pray ancestor, future kids follow family practice and etc.

however, i seems to like the Christian girl more than the taoist girl. but both girl also likes me as well.. now i very hard to choose which girl i should be with and i want a long lasting relationship.

i know the Christian girl hinted me before that she wants a Christian marriage and her parents also believe a Christian husband should be a better pick.

any bros here that are in inter-religious and successful in family? hope someone able to share should religious be a decisive factor in successful marriage?

thanks

Both also no good.

Do they know that you are in relationships with both of them at the same time? Do you find it disrespectful if one of them is also seeing another man and considering him as her future husband? Do you respect them and are you able to be honest in the relationship?

You should marry the one you love. Not the one you like. You want it to be longlasting so religion and family pressure must not be the reason you get married.

After reading your 1st post, I think is important you check on your love for her/them, and your understanding on marriage. There must be love, honesty and respect towards your future wife. These are the factors for considering marriage. Not religion or family pressure. If you can't respect her now and be honest with her, if you like another girl, all these are signs that the love isn't strong. Why should you be considering marriage?

Absolutely bro...but not everyone so single hearted like u.
TS din say how long they dating.
many ppl wanto paktor first. i think fine to see other gers boys since they are not steady yet.
if 2 ,3 mths later, then status whether is still availiable on market or steady must b made clear.
2,3 mths horr...not 2,3 years later..dun waste people time.

There are a lot of couples n relationship are in different faith.Like I say it should not be a factor if your gf break up with you because of religion then she do not seems to love you and respect your faith.

i just dated the "taoist girl" just over a month in rs from now.

my initial thought of just pick a girl who is match my parents criteria. i dint choose the other girl due to religion objection frm parents. i do likes this girl, to me doesnt matter maybe will grow as relationship prolong.

then got 1 bastard side of me, i wanted sex n cant think straight when she is those type that dont like to talk about sex at all.

i dont know what i was thinking n went to find FL, did Raw session too. now regretted my decision and on PEP due to fear i might catch HIV n infect this GF.

maybe now is time for me to reconcile while i on PEP whether i should still continue a relationship with her. she a good girl to be honest, and match my parents criteria,i wanted to find a wife. this girl just taboo on that thing and i cant live without sex.

Are you getting married or your parents? You are marrying for convenience and this will only blind your heart.

My suggestion is for you is to have more relationships to know what is love, life & family before getting married. You are not ready and if you rush into it, you'll only end up miserable plus a divorce case.

Sex is an important part of a couple life. There are plenty examples of either sex not interested getting intimate and it is up to both parties to engage in communication etc. but best to work this out before marriage. I have a feeling that she's not giving you sex due to not trusting you.

How long have you guys been together? Girls can take months to break the ice+trust & she's likely observing you as well while you took time to choose.
