I totally agree with Perna. The religion seems like a vehicle for larger problems. If both people are passionate about their religion (or even if one is and the other isn't) it will cause problems. And, when religion is a major part of your life, as it is hers, it's pretty hard to work around those issues.

My ex bf's parents actually divorced over religion. They are good friends and like hanging out together but religion was such a big part of each of their lives that they couldn't do marriage together.

Not to mention, it doesn't sound like her religion is really the issue. It's the fact that she is blinded by it. Do you think you can be with someone forever who you consider to be "illogical". And it also sounds like you would be miserable in her religion if you chose to convert. I don't understand how someone can have such an opposite way of thinking than yourself but you still feel the need to marry her? Maybe it's just me. But, personally, I could NEVER marry a republican. Just can't do it. They could be the most awesome person, but I am too passionate about politics. And I find their "logic" to be kinda stupid. Sounds like it might be the same with you and her religion?

It also sounds like you are upset bc she only believes this bc her parents basically told her to. I can't stand that either. I want to be with someone who thinks independently and doesn't believe one way or another simply bc their parents do. So what I'm saying, is that this really sounds like personality differences...not religion. Bc if you were with a woman who still felt passionately about being mormon, but bc SHE had done the research and the self-exploration to decide on it.....this conversation wouldn't be happening.

I'm not trying to be harsh. Just, IMO, it sounds like you are a little more focused on being married than the real issues separating you two. I just hate seeing people make a life-long commitment when there are obvious real issues there and they do it just bc they think they should.
