Catholic_4_Life Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have dated many non-catholics. But I grew up in Utah, and I sorta had no choice if I wanted a date for the Prom. Now a days I am in a Catholic Church dominated area, but its hard to find Catholic girls closer to my age that aren't already married. I'm 32...

Iacobus Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I would date but I wouldn't marry unless they were going to convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalscout Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I dated a Jehovahs Witness once. I vowed never again after that and she was pretty hot and a sweet girl. I had not been to Mass either for about 9 years but our religious and social views were just too different. My wife was a cradle Catholic but as distant from the Church as I was. We are both now deciding which ministry to join. She will be an EM and I might be a Lector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I would definitely not limit myself to only dating Catholics, but I would prefer to date other Catholics. Just because it's easier doesn't mean it's what God wants though! You never know what God might have in mind, so I prefer to keep my options open and leave it up to Him.

Lil Red Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 i would say that you never know where God is going to take you. For example, if I wouldn't have married my hubby, I wouldn't have become closer to the Church, and my hubby wouldn't have someone praying for him to become Catholic.

Norseman82 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 [quote name='Phazzan' date='May 4 2004, 09:21 AM'] As long as the girl is female, a virgin (another unlikely scenario), and decent looking [/quote] Well, I'd hate to run into a girl that is NOT female!!! Seriously, on the other two, I'm in complete lockstep with you (I even caught a lot of flack on this board for hoping for a ban on mixed marriages between virgins and non-virgins). I have entertained the possibility of marrying non-Catholics (at one point I thought it was probable) and was able to "hold my own" theologically. However, now I'm at the point in my life where I don't have time to deal with trying to get a potential spouse to convert nor the patience to resolve religious differences. I just want to get on with my life and raise a good practicing family in peace and prosperity and it just makes the task easier if the spouse shares my Catholic values (as long as she's decent looking and a virgin, that is).

ilovechrist Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 as long as she doesn't have a problem with my being Catholic, and she doesn't mind coming along to Mass a few times, i'm fine with it-cuz by then i have her completely interested in what the Church is all about girls that aren't female? phazzan... i bet you read my posts a while back on the XY chromosomes that some girls have..

Sojourner Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have toyed with the idea of dating non-Catholics, and recently went out on a quasi-date with someone who was a non-Catholice Christian. I just don't think I could handle seriously dating someone who doesn't share my faith. (And with this guy, that was just the start ... but I won't go into it here) I mean, this is something for which I've [i]sacrificed[/i], and to not be able to share that with a potential spouse is a huge issue for me. I can pray for people's conversion without being married to them, but I want to be able to share the deepest parts of who I am -- including my faith -- with the person I marry. If I can't do that, I'd rather be single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacobus Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I would pefer a virgn wife but if that is the only thing she doesn't meet and she has changed and is STD abortion free I would maybe marry her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 what if you met someone who was divorced or widowed but her husband was the only man she was ever with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 any and all. of course, this really isn't if you are young because most divorcees/widowers are older. [color=red]2 MORE POSTS![/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
