You're dating and your religious beliefs are different. How much difference does this make?

The answer is: A person's religious beliefs are important to you to the degree they're important to you. This may sound like begging the question, but it's an important thing to 'get'. Assuming you're looking for marriage, you need to make a "must have" and "can't stand" list. If certain religious beliefs go into either group, pay attention to them, because you won't be happy if they aren't there (or are and shouldn't be) and the relationship won't work in the long run.

Begging the question is what Zen is all about. The koan can mean you're asking a question no one knows the answer to, or that you don't need an answer to, or you know the answer as well as anyone, you just don't know it by reason (which is limited).

In the case of religious beliefs, the emotionally intelligent thing to do is to figure out what you want (work with a coach for clarity; it's worth it) and then experience the person.

Word your religious "must haves" and "can't stands" precisely. Do you mean adherence to a certain set of principals as espoused by a certain faith, such as being Methodist, or Buddhist? Do you need someone to agree with every word you say about it?

Or do you believe in certain spiritual principals which could be compatible with various faiths?

Does it matter to you more how the person argues their faith verbally, or how they live it in their daily actions and behaviors? Some people live in a way that's very compatible with certain faiths, though they may not officially belong to any religious organization.

Apply your emotional intelligence competencies as you date.

1. ZEN: "A tree that is unbending is easily broken."
Lao Tzu

EQ COMPETENCY: FLEXIBILITY

Use all your brains. You must feel how you feel around this person (see point number 2) and also think about what it is you're after at the deepest and broadest level so that you can have the flexibility to deal with another imperfect, not entirely predictable human being.

2. ZEN: "Only the supremely wise and the abysmally ignorant do not change."
Confucius

EQ COMPETENCY: Understanding of people.

You have to allow for the fact that the individual may change. Few people make extreme changes in their core being and basic operating principals, but many of us make changes and adjustments in behaviors and thoughts. Get to know the person well enough so you have a sense of their core. For example: If the person you're dating has murdered someone,

I wouldn't stick around. If they were once an addict, have been in recovery for 20 years, and made sufficient personality changes, give it a guarded go. If they once kicked a dog and still talk about it with remorse, full speed ahead. (For more on this "how much baggage to accept on the midlife dating flight" read "Midlife Dating Manual for Women".

Libra Horoscope

But Jesus, when you don't have any money, the problem is food.
When you have money, it's sex. When you have both, it's health,
you worry about getting ruptured or something.
If everything is simply jake then you're frightened of death."
~ J.P. Donleavy ~
