If she just wants you to be mormon in name (for her families sake etc.) then I can understand.

But changing to and practising an entirely new religion, just because she is practising it... it seems like the reason she wants to be with you is a bit blurry, coz as mikeyg said, you will be a different person to whom she is with at the moment.

I guess you have to understand her reasons for asking as mentioned above.

My wife and I are both Muslim, but she is more disciplined than me in that she prays as often as you should - but she does not ever ask me to pray just because she is, or anything like that. So you need to look closely at motives and what this says about her personality and how it will effect you in the long run.

It seems like you really have strong feelings for her, and either way hope, I everything works out for the best.

Good Luck!

don't change who you are. period. u might be able to put on the act for the next couple years of your relationship.. but if you get married or something... well... you won't be able to keep the act up ten years down the line and you'll end up in divorce anyway. save both of yourselves the trouble. be honest with yourself and with her.

i was recently in a situation somewhat paralleled to yours. he wanted me to change a million things about myself.. at first i found myself doing that, then i realized that i would be miserable, so i just walked away from him. best decision i ever made, (of course it was influenced by many other factors in the relationship, but you get what i mean...).

let me jsut note one more thing.. there is a serious DIFFERENCE between COMPROMISING and CHANGING... they are not the same, but the words are commonly misconstrued as being interchangeable... they are not.

My wife is Catholic and I'm a Satanist, and we've been married almost 12 years. The only compromise I've had to make is sacrificing catfish instead of virgins on Fridays during Lent, so these things can work out.
