Re: Atheist dating a Roman Catholic. hmmn. - September 25th 2010, 01:58 PM

As with other issues which can arise in a relationship, it all depends on how you are both prepared to work around it. Differences in religious belief are not themselves deal-breakers - the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK at the moment, Nick Clegg, is an atheist yet he is married to a Catholic and they are bringing up their children as Catholics. It all depends on how the individual couple approaches it, and as Jess has said if you're still together 5 years down the line and still discussing a future together then that would suggest it's something you can work around. On the subject of the Catholic wedding, there are two types of ceremony - one with the Eucharist and one without - so again there's potential room for manoeuvre on that if and when it becomes an issue.

Hope that helps.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
