Ok so here is the deal. I have never been really religious when I was younger I went to church because I was forced to. But now I don't ever go, and I have recently become attracted to someone of the Mormon faith. I just need some advice from people whether or not this relationship could work out.

I think the success of any relationship depends entirely on the people involved, and their commitment to making a go of it. Just be true to who YOU are, and don't let yourself be talked into joining any faith just to keep the peace in the relationship. You are who you are, and should only join a faith if you feel a true calling to join it. Good luck!

Just because you're attracted to someone of another faith, that doesn't mean you're necessarily drawn to their faith, too. LOL
Your relationship has every chance of working out if you're both honest about things. As long as you can discuss this with your new love interest and you can be assured that no pressure will be applied to you in regards to religion/faith, you'll be okay. All relationships need a certain amount of leeway for differences, and this is no exception. Make your feeling known at the right time and see what happens. If you end up getting pressured, it's time to rethink things.

The relationship may or may not work, depending on how devoted your partner is to the religion. It's hard for two to walk together if they don't agree, but if you truly love this person, since it's been a while that you were in your religion, why not check out the Mormons to see what that's about? Marriage is about two becoming one, not two maintaining separate lives.

I was raised Mormon, and depending on the extent of Mormon this person is could effect the relationship. If the person is Mormon but more laid back about many of the usual concerns such as getting married in the temple etc. then i believe the relationship could work. However, if the person is a die hard Mormon with no room for consideration of change. Then to be completely honest, no. Many Mormon's are raised to marry those of their same faith.

ULch this is such a hard question. Do you know how that other person feels about this situation? These are important things to talk about in the beginning of relationships so they won't be detrimental later.
