The Bloggers With The Most To Say
20Something Relationships
Hello my fellow awesome 20somethings.
So, I am now the brand new writer for a 20Somethings Relationship Column and before I start shooting off articles, I wanted to pick your brain.
I'm going to be covering everything from first dates to long distance to long term and everything in between when it comes to relationships...
What are some important topics/issues I should bring up?
I would also like to encourage the guys to chime in as well because I want to be able to approach the articles from both angles.
Since we have members from 20 years old to 29 years old, I want to get a full idea of the issues that concern everyone, regardless of where they are in their 20s and relationships. As an (almost) 25 year old, I might not be completely in tune with what is important for a 20 year old or a 29 year old in a relationship.
I am also considering taking questions to answer a la 'Dear Abby' so...bring it :)

hmm...maybe different religions and the role they plays in relationships? Some people are comfortable dating people of different religions, others wouldn't even think about it. I feel like this is controversial and could be interesting.

I'm a Christian. I consider myself strong in my beliefs and faith. Yet, I knew when I started dating my boyfriend, Fred, our Junior year of high school that he was not. It caused a few problems when were dating... And I knew that God was definitely not happy about my decision. But in October we got married after having been together for almost four years. And my faith, and my husband's lack there of, has been our biggest struggle. We've yet to find a common ground in that area. I pray for him all the time, but he doesn't understand why I believe that someone is actually hearing my prayers...

That would be a very difficult thing to navigate. I'm a Christian as well and dated a guy for three and a half years, until just recently. I think our differences in faith and integrity lead to our demise. I'm glad I nipped it in the bud sooner, rather than later, but it's been the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. Good luck with that.

That was a really brave thing you did because if things progressively got worse as a result of this issue, it would've just been more painful down the line.

Amanda, is he also Christian and just not as faithful as you or is he actually an atheist?

No, my husband is agnostic. He's not sure what he believes.

Well, my boyfriend and I are from different faiths so that is definitely a topic that I will be addressing from various points.

Very cool. I've grown up Jewish and have always been told that I can only date Jews. It was never hard when I was younger, but since I've started college it's become much more of a big deal.

Well, when I told my dad I was dating someone, the only thing he told me was "I won't tell you who to date but I don't want you marrying anyone who is not Muslim."
His reasoning was that he's seen a lot of his friends get married, the marriage not working out because of the differences of faith and the kids of that marriage being stuck in the middle.
Knowing what a big deal this is, my boyfriend and I've already discussed our options and opinions about the difference in religion and decided we can make it work long-term.
