I think some sense of religious identity is important whether it's the same religion or not but you should have common ground

Not really important. Morals and ethics are the key aspects of our foundation.
It can be very important. I am more concerned with a family understanding 'being a good person' means much more than following organized rules though.
I agree , that might take more work because u have to work a lot more on personal judgment but I think that's better that just handing out a list of rules.

We are both semi-organized in our faiths, but are not identical. I model my relationship with God from an Islamic perspective, while he uses Judaism. As long as we respect ourselves, others, and God, the label and specifics don't matter.
Depends on their beliefs
I believe it has a lot to do with a relationship any relationship
I think it's more important to be in sync with the partner's religious views than any religion in particular.
I think it can provide good stability and community.
Not important
I believe it's important but not necessarily necessary.
God has to be the center of any relationship <3
Absolutely without Him this would not be possible

I do believe that it is important to acknowledge God on a daily basis because of all of our blessings. I do not believe that organized religion is necessary. we have our"church" on Sunday mornings walking dogs at the local animal shelter. It is our way of giving back for all of the man things we have been given.
We both are religious just different views.
