Is this something you came up with on your own or something she suggested?

Why do you need a religion? Can't you go along and, I dunno, just do you?

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

You don't necessarily have to convert to a religion to take in some of it's teachings or practices, so if it's the stable household aspect that is appealing to you then perhaps spend time learning about your girlfriend's house/family and seeing why it works over ones that you may have experienced in your past.

The other thing is if you are inclined to go ahead with it, take your time to consider it. Some religions are pretty laissez-faire over apostasy but islam tends to get a little bit tetchy over the subject, so unless you actually feel a connection to the religion itself in absence of the girl (i.e with god/allah) I'd advise against converting anytime soon.

I had a friend a while back who converted, things turned out well for him and it seemed to help him get through some difficult times so there is nothing to knock there imo.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Why are you considering becoming religious because your girlfriend is nice. Your girlfriend of three months.

Whether or not her and her family are nice is utterly irrelevant to the truth of the Islamic faith. If you want to convert, think about the metaphysical claims of Islam--or any other religion. Think about the content of the religion.

A coon converting to Islam because it's "more peaceful" and "returning to my roots" even though Islam was never part of Africa until Arabs raped and pillaged your continent in a campaign of death and destruction arguably worse than what the Europeans did.

Even that is less stupid than your dumb ass converting to one of the worst religions in the world because some girl you like is part of it. Do you honestly see that as an open and tolerant family that you feel you need to immerse yourself into her religion and culture when she is practically a guest in America? Get the fuck outta here.

Yes I'm well aware I took the bait but it's worth responding to anyways because stupid shit like this does happen.

>guest in America

wew lad

If she was born here she's American

The belief in God isn't why her & family is pleasant, so converting doesn't make sense.

Hmm, you don't strike me as a mentally strong person. In your case, I would recommend you convert to islam. It's a better religion than Christianity, just don't stone people etc. Be a modern muslim. Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life

Fuck that, I'm not trying to follow a religion that closely.

I'm more of a C&E type of guy.

Just sounds like you found yourself a nice girl who has a nice family. Doesn't necessarily mean you need to convert to her faith, nor is the faith the underlying cause of their pleasantness.

But Islam is a major part of my woman's life. She says it has been a driving factor of who she is as a person. I'D like to emulate that from my own future family.
Dude, do what you want, it's your life. All I'm saying is converting to a major faith is a dumbfuck thing to do for a girl who's probably going to dump your ass in a couple months anyway.

#thotpatrol

What the fuck? She's not going to dump me. The fuck is your problem. I'm probebly going to marry this woman
You've only been with her for 3 months and already talking about marriage?

Sounds like a doomed thing to begin with.

There is no magic secret to how long you need to be with someone to have a successful marriage

All i know is that its not dependent on how long youre with them beforehand

I know people who started thinking about marriage 2 months in and theyve been happily together for years. And i know people who were with each other for 6 years before getting married and then they divorced two years later. There are people on the opposite side, too.

If youre committed enough things work out. Its always the kind of people that grt married that makes the difference.

If you haven't both suffered together, you shouldn't get married.

Any two people can have good times and have sex. It's supporting each ther through rough times that matters.

Agreed

To decide if you want to get married? Lol, not it's not. You're still arguably in your honeymoon phase during that time. Like Verb said, a year at minimum is a good indicator.

To decide? Yes, it's too early based on love. OP is thinking about marriage. It takes two to decide.

Even then, some people are more rational when it comes to marriage. Sometimes there isn't even a honeymoom phase, you just acknowledge that this other person is a good fit for the life you want to have. A friend of mine's parents got married after 4 months -- not because they were in love, but because it was a good fit.

Marrying for love is stupid because love fades. And you learn compassion for someone you spend every day with, so in the end all that really matters is whether or not you can go the distance with this person, which can be learned in a week or in a year or in a decade. No one can or should say.
