I really don’t understand how people who are reasonably devout followers of different religions ever end up together. Almost all of them make it against the rules or at least extremely problematic. Why would you marry someone that your religion says is going to hell because they don’t believe what you do? And if you do it anyway, why would you stay in that religion? Makes no sense.
It’s because “I can fix them”

People are allowed to break the rules of their own religion at their convenience but other people must always abide by those rules. “It’s ok when I do it”, so to speak.
an protestant women doesnt go to hell either, if she is preaching. even if the biggest group in her religion is telling that.
Wait, muslim women cannot marry non Muslim men. What’s the deal?
Turns out most humans just do things.
Do you realize you have just singlehandedly explained the Israel-Hamas situation and we can all stop arguing and pretending to be experts about it?
Blasphemy.
Everyone deals with their religion differently
When I was a somewhat devout JW (people often say Jehovah Witness as a noun, but that always bugged me grammatically since properly stated it should be "Witness of Jehovah), I told a nonJW Christian friend that I couldn’t be “unevenly yoked with unbelievers.” She (who wasn’t interested in me, she was trying to matchmake me with a mutual friend) got offended since we should all have been Christians and she felt I was calling her an unbeliever.
Certain denominations have so very different beliefs that if followed to their logical conclusions they shouldn’t be able to have relationships, but so many people bend the rules. I fortunately am no longer captive to that ideology, though I do think I’m permanently damaged. Still, not as damaged as people who went through sexual abuse. My stuff is mostly mental and will probably just mean I’ll never have a romantic relationship.
It’s not “the same”, but I’ve been reading Joe vs Elan School and it’s really made me feel better about the shit I went through to read someone else’s story, you should check it out if you think it could help you, plus it’s just a great story.
Maybe he married her, instead of the other way around.
