Relationships should be based on respect for one another's beliefs, not being carbon copies of each other. Religion is not a requirement for a healthy relationship nor is having alike beliefs. If you have that then kudos, if not then focus on the love you share and other aspects of each other, that mean the most.
you can spend quality time together with or without that. it's important to each have your own thoughts and options on life without pushing them on one another. to each is own.
Yup, 0% I still kinda wanna go to church. Dunno if that's gunna happen though.
We can go to church more if you want to. Can't guarantee I'll know anything that is going on, but I'll go

I don't believe organized religion is important, per se; I don't think organized religion is right. I do think that the two people in a relationship should share the same beliefs, though. It makes everything easier.
It's only as important as it is the individuals. Each person knows where they stand spiritually. IF you love and respect your significant other, it shouldn't be an issue.
As long as we have similar beliefs.
I feel as though a persons religion is an individual decision but there should be understanding of the others point of view and no disrespect.
Not important at all. It is important to understand and respect your partners religion if one is followed.
I think its the glue that binds you to one another. I have spent times apart from it and times together and though its not an easy road, I would much rather travel it with a belief in God that I can share with my love!
I do enjoy our time together at church. Would be nice to turn off the t.v. more and open up a journal or Bible to read together too. Doesn't have to be a group!

I believe that a common ground between the two in what u believe is important but I don't believe there is a right or wrong religion and to accept your partner.
I think it is important that both couples share close to the same religious beliefs, regardless of what that belief may be.
נו באמת, הכי חשוב ששני בני הזוג לא יהיו דתיים

the most important part you need to be able to look to someone bigger than the both of you and who knows all and who has your best interests in mind
We have our beliefs and disbeliefs.
