8. ZEN: "Beware, as they say, of mistaking the finger for the moon when you're pointing at it."
John Cage

EQ COMPETENCY: Intentionality.

Date the person long enough to determine that when they talk about their religious beliefs, they have intention to follow them. In other words, they're not just repeating something they memorized, or just saying what they think you want to hear. Someone deeply in that delicious falling-in-love stage will do this. Haven't you? That's why we take our time.

9. ZEN: "The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful."
Swami Vivekananda

EQ COMPETENCY: Positive attitude, optimism.

IF you believe this is the test of "being religious," then Swami Vivekananda is the man for you. If you prefer a person with a positive attitude, as I do, and it comes with religious belief, better yet.

10. ZEN: "When a dog runs at you, whistle for him."
Henry David Thoreau

EQ COMPETENCY: Common sense!

When it feels right and good, go for it!

Ultimately it's difficult to live with someone who doesn't have your same values and priorities. Annette discovered this when dating a man outside her faith. He loved her and was willing to convert, attending classes and services with her. She was troubled that even so, he didn't "believe" what she did. Growing up with a certain faith makes it engrained at a level it can rarely be approached when it's learned later in life. There's a huge time factor in there. This may or may not be unsurmountable. In Annette's case it was. She couldn't feel he had, or ever would have, the same beliefs as she did.

Thomas, on the other hand, fell in love with someone outside his faith, from another culture, and more than 10 years younger. "Still," he said, "we're two peas in a pod. I could care less if she goes to a synagogue and I don't."

Samia married someone she met at her place of worship, but problems began to spring up immediately. "I assumed too much, she said. "I thought we felt the same way about things, but it didn't live out the way I thought it would. I wish I'd given it more time. It's hard to think when you're that much in love." Samia found it was a difference that wouldn't work and they separated. In their case, their religious beliefs, in words, were a match, but they weren't lived out in ways that were compatible.

P.S. If you come from different faith backgrounds and plan to have children, work this one out ahead of time. It can be a bigee when the time comes.
