Making a relationship work... catholic + non-religious

[FrustratedUser]

The solution in your case would be:


REPEAT
     Hot wet monkey sex ----> go to a priest and confess ----> all is good ----> hot wet monkey sex.
UNTIL (you + GF) = dead

Catholic Church doesn't sound like a fun club to be in.

 

[Looney]

Are you sure sex before marriage is a sin to Catholics? That's completely opposite from my experience.

I think the Catholic Church dislikes family planning/contraception.

They say that if you have a child, then it is God's will that you have been blessed with the child, and you shouldn't mess with using family planning.
Correct me if I'm mistaken.

You are wrong

The Pope, and the Church, is against contraception. But they do believe in family planning. They belive you should know your partners natural cycle and avoid having sex when the chance of conception is high.

heh...and how many large Catholic families are out there?

Too many man-made rules in religion for my tastes.

I apologize for Red Dawn, he doesn't realize Catholic priests do not feel guilty for raping kids.

You can't "make" a relation work. It either will or won't. If you force it, it's guaranteed to not "work" and you'll both be miserable.

Hmmm, I both agree and disagree.

Relationships require commitment. If neither part is committed to making a relationship work, there will be nothing to hold it together. All relationships inevitably go through some tough times. If you stick with the relationship through those tough times, that's commitment.

Then again, if you're "forcing" a relationship in terms of being fake and ingenuine, then you're right... it won't work and you'll both be miserable. There's some importance to having a "I love you even if I don't like you right now" mentality.

Sex and masterbation. Wow, your gf will tell your kids that those are sins. You just tell them that we all have sins so its okay, they can go ahead and do it. Jesus already died for our sins. I mean, Jesus died for us so we can sin.

And then, depending on how good your wife is, your kids will refer you to Romans 6.

We can't be giving the kids 2 different messages.

I completely agree. So maybe you should determine how central your beliefs are to you and how central your girlfriend's beliefs are to her. If there can be no compromise, you're in for a long struggle. I recommend you either become really, *really* comfortable with Catholicism or get a new girlfriend.

I'm a Christian and my gf is a Hindu.

Ahhh...
Threre was a HOT :evil: Indian chick in my class last semester. The fact that she is Hindu made hare even hotter...

Save yourself some heartache and frustration. Get out of that relationship and find someone you are more compatable...

My friend's mom is from a hardcore catholic family and his dad was Atheist. His dad converted to be with his mom. They go to catholic church together and everything. He says his dad doesn't really believe, but he keeps up appearances for his mom. His mom is an extremely sweet person and his parents are awesome people. To me they represent the typical wholesome middle class American family. Don't be so concerned about religious differences...they really only matter if you make them matter.

 

[Sid59]

of course masturbation and sex before marriage are sins. Behing Catholic is one big ass sin. That's why they have 3-4 hour sermons. The whole point about being Catholic is just for name sake and then not following anything, lol.

All coming from a Roman Catholic and spending all my time in church and sunday school.

i'm catholic but i don't follow organized religion. i've dated guys christian and non-christian alike. i like what a friend of mine has done...wait til her kids are old enough to make their own choice.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

FWIW, some good friends of mine are raising their children Catholic even though neither of them is what I would call steadfastly devout (the wife more so, the husband pretty much not). They fully intend to let their kids (now 2 of them) grow up and sort out for themselves where they will fall in the religious spectrum when (if) they get to the point where they start coming up with questions.

Both of them were raised as Christians themselves.

 

[AthlonXP]

As a Christian, I don't date outside my religion because I think there are so many conflicts in belief that it makes things extraordinarily difficult. I also feel that one of the most important parts of my life (my spirituality) would be something that the other person couldn't share.

you must a very limited selection to choose from....


oh wait, Jehova witness's must have an even smaller selection.

 

[AdamSnow]

What religion is it called where you just dont give a fsck ?

that's what I am...
