I am not saying not to love her, or that it will be easy. I'm sure she is a really good person and probably deserves the best. HOWEVER, without God in someone's life, then all the good they've done and all the good things they deserve are a lie. The Lord should be your # 1 PRIORITY in life -- No excuses. I've known God my whole life and I wouldn't even think of dating someone who didn't have a place with HIM. The hardest thing in the world to do is to preach.. especially to people who are bias. So I'll spare you as much I can. But, I do think religion and love go hand in hand. It's a whole lot easier to bring someone away from God than it is to bring someone to Him. Trust me, I know. Z-DAWG, if you're a Christian and you really believe in God, then think about what you're children are going to grow up believing. As it says in the bible, it's your responsibility to teach your kids about God and about Christ. Withougt Christ, there is no salvation. And without God, there is no meaning. At least that's how it is for me. It may not be for your or her religion, but when the time comes, that won't matter. The only thing that will matter is what you did in life with God thru Christ. That's something you can't overlook. If it were me in your situation, I'd talk to her about it, explain how you feel... Don't ask her to change, leave that to her. You both might part from one another and it might be hard as hell to keep your feelings in check, but the thought that God has something better for you is more than enough to keep going. It says in scripture in the book of Job "will you accept good things from the Lord and not troubles?" Meaning, life is hard, but there are rewards for following God as well as hard times. Just because hard times are happening, doesn't mean it isn't good. Man, I feel like I'm babbling... sorry.. just wanted to voice my opinion. Good luck for you, man.

AMEN TO THAT!
