I have a friend who's boyfriend has different religion than hers. Although they haven't had any arguments about it, she's a bit uncomfortable about it. She's also worried her parents won't approve. She's afraid to tell them about this. Should religion matter in a relationship?

suzy,

I would not worry too much about this sort of issue unless they were going to get really serious, i.e. living together or getting married. Until then they are just having fun,

If they are really serious, then maybe she should ask herself questions like, "do one of them have to convert if they get married?" If so, who will do it? How about when they have children, who's religion are they going to practice? If she or both of them can resolve this, then there is no need to worry. For now, she doesn't have to tell her parents anything until they decide to marry.

i think if she's worried about things like this, they may be serious...so she and her boyfriend should discuss what they are going to do about it...after having the talk, then your friend can tell her parents about it...this way she will be able to answer whatever questions her parents will throw at her...

I agree. Since it is both of them involved here. They should talk and resolve it together.

Yeah. It would be better if they talk this over first before she tells her parents about this.

Talking about it will also resolve the issues bugging her. If she is satisfied with their conversation, then she will be more prepared for what her parents will probably ask her.
