Old Jul 25th, 2005, 01:26 AM        Different Morals/Values/Beliefs and Such...
There is a girl that I have been in love with almost 3 years ago, and her the same for me. We met in school, dated over the summer, broke up the next summer, and got back together a few weeks ago.

Something has been troubling us though... she is a little bothered by how different our morals and values are. She says that sometimes they conflict a whole lot, like the fact that she is spiritual (not organizedly religious but believes in divine stuff) and I'm an atheist or agnostic or whatever you want to call it. Life is but a dream... Her family taught her to value her tradition in alot of ways and even though she doesn't always follow it, she gets a little flustered with me. I'm a good old fashioned gentleman, but I know that times are changing and like in Fiddler on the Roof we can't hold on to those traditions forever.

Her morals are different than mine. I don't have much value for
money or the concept of justice, but I always fulfill my obligations.
I always want to do everything my own way and I am very impulsive, but I have faith in my own values. So, that usually gets me into trouble with other people, and with her. I love danger and always can crack a joke no matter how bad it gets, but sometimes that doesn't jive with her.

I am falling in love with her again, and I'll probably end up marrying her someday, I'm just worried that she's right about our beliefs and values clashing. Is there any way to keep two very different people in good harmony? We have never had troubles with it until now, and I don't even feel the problem, but she says (especially the religion part) bothers her.
