    Okay i am christain, but i fell in love with a non christian guy. I love him so much and always will. He wants to be with me for the rest of our lives, but i dont know if that would work. See my family wouldnt like us together, and it would be stressful, that and i always thought i would marry a christain guy. But then again i love him loads and i dont think i could live without him....i just dont know what to do...

    Well.. if he loved you, he would try to learn about your belief's. Can he not marry into being christian. Perhaps if he truly wanted to make it work he would get baptised and attend services with you.

    I have discussed that with him and he tried...he just gave up on God a long time ago and always felt like he didnt exist. I dont know what to do. I dont want him to resent me for my beliefs, and i dont wanna push it onto him. Its just a frusterating situtation.

    Well how does he feel about your religious beliefs?
    He can't possibly love you enough to spend the rest of your lives together if he could- in any way- resent you for your beleifs.
    Have you talked to your parents about it?
    Someone close to you in the church?

    ^ Yeah i agree

    If he really wanted it to work he would do whatever it takes. Ask him what he feels about being a Christian and talk to him about. Teach him about God and everything and with time he might come to believe. Talk to God about it also. Ask him to direct you.

    I don't think you should ask him to convert to Christianity. As long as he respects your beliefs, and you respect his, and neither of you pressure the other to change their beliefs, then you should be okay. Your families will get used to it.

    However, you are young, and nothing is guaranteed. It's probably too early to be worrying about the rest of your life right now. Just enjoy the relationship as it is, and see how things turn out.

    I cant talk to my parents about it cuz i am not supposed to see him. They wont let me. See we got close in a certain way that is supposed to be only after marrige and my parents found out. Its frusterating bc of the fact that i love him so much and it makes me so sad bc he doesnt want to know God. I just dont wanna lose him, and i feel if i push him he, will over time, resent me for it.

    Well...your only 16. no 16 year old should be talking as serious as marriage. you shouldnt have intentions of marrying this person yet. explain to your parents that dating someone outside your religion at this point in time will most likely not reach marriage. and hey...if you do end up wanting to marry this person then by then your parents may accept him for his religion.

    Enough said...I'll go with the views of Bob and Jaime. To those that believe people should be willing to do anything for love, go get a common sense like Jaime and Bob =P Well...come to think of it...Bob might be a firm believer in love..enough to think everything can be a worthy price to pay for love...oh well...

    There is a saying in Chinese (modern one) and it translates "Have love...also bread" haha. Be practical. Sure love is great but it has boundaries. Though "Man cannot live on bread alone" (...you might need milk and honey to go with that :P) it's kinda important to have material goods in order to live and then love.

    Thank you all for all your opinions. I think i will wait and see what happens. I am just scared of just what that might be. I dont know what i am going to do yet, but atm i dont think i need to have a concret plan or anything. Its just a scary thing to promise your life to someone. Lol see i promised my life to God and he never betrayed me. I betrayed him by being with this guy. But this guy isnt God and i dont know if i can trust him to be there when i need him or to stick around when things get tough. So i am scared, completely and totally scared of what might happen....and mostly i am scared that its gonna be all my own fault...
