Socially Challenged

in God or break it off? So my girlfriend and me have been together a while and its gotten pretty serious to the point where we are calling each other best friend and stating we wanna marry each other eventually one day. We have become real close and have amazing chemistry and its going great except our religions.

When we first started talking, she told me she was a Wiccan and did I have a problem with that, and I said no. Which I didnt. I promised I would not try to force my beliefs down her throat but I would always secretly pray for her at night like I do all my friends and loved ones.

Well tonight she tells me she wants to rejoin her Covant. She explained this to me and told me basically its a group of Wiccans that worship together in spirit and that they are very close, she even went as far as saying that they come first in her life. I asked her even before husbands and wives? and she said yes.

I have a major problem with this. I believe when your in a serious relationship or marriage (which we both want), that spouse should come first before a group of people you worship. She on the other hand does not and we got in an argument tonight and I have no idea if we're gonna make it.

But my question is: Should I stay with her and pray on this to God and have faith or if shes not willing to give up the Covant, then break it off. I thought about asking her could she just not do the Covant part and still practice her faith.

Tonight before I left she kissed me and told me she loved me, but said that if this is going to be a big issue, then we should think things over.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! And for the record, I really love this girl!

I'd stick around for the orgies.

Right... because her religion is so much less credible then yours [sarcasm]

Did she ask you to give up anything? Did she threaten to break it off unless you did? I don't know your whole story...but I'd recommend that you reevaluate what you expect from each other.

Well do you place your religion about husband and wife ? Probably.
Wiccans just worship differently. Ok. They aren't evil. Try to have tolerance.

2Cr 6:14 Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?


2Cr 6:15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil [fn]? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?


2Cr 6:16 And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. [fn]


2Cr 6:17 Therefore, come out from them and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you. [fn]


2Cr 6:18 And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. [fn]"

It's possible and has worked.

BUT it involves considerable respect for each other - and not seeing the situation as an excuse to spiritually abuse/pressure conversions.

Nightwind: Mwa ha ha!

This is ultimately something only you can answer. It's about how you feel about interfaith relationships and whether you think spouses should always be first priority. if you can't deal with it, and this is important to her, then ultimately its not going to work.
