[QUOTE="pk70, post: 83473, member: 5889"] ( quote amandeep kaur) I don't care about marrying outside of my race. And I know this will be controversial, but I don't care about marrying outside of the religion I was born into either. But I care very much about the spiritual beliefs of the person I marry. He must believe: 1) that everything is connected and all part of the same substance of the universe, that everything exists together in a balance in which we must strive to fulfill our rightful place without disrupting the harmony and existence of all the other parts which leads to: a) He must believe all people should be respected as individuals and treated kindly as we would want to be treated, that no person, regardless of sex, race, class, religion, etc. is very different from us fundamentally in that they all want love and comfort and are not inherently evil or purely good. He must have a strong sense of connection to all other human beings, even if their religious, racial, and historical background is very different from ours. No one controls where they are born, only who they are when they live. He cannot prioritize one group over another because he perceives them to be more similar to himself. b) He must believe it is important not to be destructive or wasteful, because everything matters and being wasteful and destructive does not respect the world around us and the people we live with c) He must believe that we should not engage in practices that hurt our bodies and disrespect our abilities, e.g. excessive drinking or the use of drugs, promiscuity, etc. 2) He must not want to strictly raise our children in a religion, forcing them to attend services and practice rituals and wear symbols before they can understand any meaning in them. He must understand that it is more important to condition a child's way of thinking about people and the world and approaching things (see point 1) and that rituals and symbols are not the essence of spirituality. 3) He cannot adhere to any religious principles that are contrary to the points in 1), so I could not, say, marry someone who expected women to cover themselves excessively while men do not need to hide their beauty or forms. I could not marry someone who believes that it is their right and duty to force their superior thoughts etc. on people of different beliefs, people he would consider lesser than himself and in need of saving. I also could not marry a strict secularist who thought that he had the right to say that others should not practice their religion as they see fit. In short, my husband would have to believe, as I do, that we must do the best we can ourselves and beyond that, we must understand that we can only create the world we want by example and through our own selves and works and not by trying to fight with others and force our own practices.
