Depends on the individual first and if they are willing to accept a new religion or one in general. Unless they r both the same religion. Guess for me it's not that important, it's something the couple should talk about.


It's important to have similar views as it helps when the going gets tough


I believe to truly be one with each other spiritually u need to believe and practice the same religion

Not that a relationship needs it to be successful but you need to be on the same page about it
For me organized religion is the basis of my Jewish identity, and therefore my identity as a person- so it's very important to me. I will not be in a relationship with a non-Jew. They can be anywhere along the spectrum of religiosity, but I do need them to understand how I want to live and raise any children we may have.
Well, we're definitely good in that department :)

We must be on equal yolk


Not organized religion but a relationship with the Most High God! He loves us so much and blesses us even though we don't deserve it. That just blows my mind! And when we both rely on Him He makes our relationship so much sweeter and deeper:))


Not at all, religion is mans attempt to put boundaries around the concept of god and love


For us it isn't


I think religion harms a relationship if you follow it too close .


Depends


Isn't an issue for us x


I believe that it can bring some couples closer and tear others apart. Religion typically enforces family values, so I think that's a plus. But if opposing views are driving two people apart, they need to reach a comprise and accept each other for their beliefs.

For me, I would want to share at least share some similar views with my partner and be able to freely discuss all views.


Not important


For me, none. Depends on the couple.
