How to Discover If Your Christian and Pagan Interfaith Relationship Will Work

Interfaith relationships can make things difficult even for the most well-suited couples. Sadly, for some couples differences in faith can sound the death knell of their relationship. Others manage to make it work mainly by applying large doses of tolerance in conjunction with increasing their ability to compromise.

The faiths involved also help determine the difficulty the couple will have in working out their differences. This is because some religions are more tolerant than others and because there are many different religious sects that while technically separate share a lot of commonalities. On the other hand, some religions are like oil and water naturally repelling each other.

Wicca, generally the most well known neo-pagan religion, and Christianity are examples of religions that naturally repel one another. This makes an interfaith relationship between members a difficult compromise indeed. Of course its not impossible for a Christian and a Pagan to overcome their differences in the name of love. However, this is rare because there are many points of opposition between Christianity and Paganism.

Christians are frequently, though certainly not always, wary of and sometimes outright angered by those that do not share their faith. This problem is exacerbated sometimes by Pagans that make the mistake of being secretive and possessive of their faith. They are often too quick to assume that their partner won't approve or understand their faith and may unfairly shut their partner out.

So how can you tell if you and your honey have what it takes to make it? You will never know for sure but taking the time to ask yourself the following questions will let you know if you have a shot.
