How Religion And Dating Can Suceed
March 3, 2010 by Linda Cole
Religion was at the forefront of many group meetings years a go and the town church would be not able a place of worship but a place where the community got together with their families. Most marriages were often a product of the young people who shared the same religious beliefs and found this a solid foundation for a successful union. As times began to change the church has still held its place in many communities and even today many young people who share the same faith still prefer to date within their own congregation.
Even though the western world has welcomed modernisation in some churches, there are some religions that have never altered in their quest to remain exactly as they have been for centuries. The elders still insist their youth marry into their own religion even though there have been some attempts to modernise. The advantage of couples being formed based on their faith is that essential views of morality and principle are firmly in place and form a rock solid foundation for romantic love to build on. Such things can become an issue so quickly in relationships built only on the laws of physical attraction. Perhaps having a shared religion makes for a healthy start.
Dating someone from another religious background could turn out to be a very interesting experience. In days gone by families would have probably expressed their disapproval at this kind of union but today in western culture there is a more relaxed attitude. This probably would not apply to some of the more strict religions where the old ways are still very much in place even though the youth of today may be trying to modernise. Many marriages are a combination of different beliefs and are very successful which leads me to the common denominator in all of this
Love… it can take your breath away…. It can make saints out of sinners., laughter out of pain and a belief that God in his infinite wisdom has sent down an angel to walk by your side….forever. The story of Romeo and Juliet is etched in our history and hearts as a reminder that love can break your heart and lead you to even die for it. Romantic love, it is what we all dream of and pray for .it is the essence of God himself.
Even if you are deeply religious there is plenty of opportunity and places where you can meet Even though times have changed and a lot of the churches have modernised so as not to alienate the youth of today, the very foundation of faith will make that first date more relaxed than those couples with no common ground to work from.
