My marriage between an irreligious person and an emerging religious believer
Hello, thank you for your support.
There were a lot of things with my boyfriend who was 6 years younger, whom I met through a work-related relationship, and we finally started talking about marriage.
I was very happy about that, but when I came here, I was very puzzled to hear that he believes in an emerging religion.
His mother's family is a believer, and it seems that his father also joined him when they got married.
He has a younger brother, and by the time he can remember, he seems to have already joined the faith, but he hasn't thought about anything in particular.
Activities include chanting sutras in the morning, participating in meetings to recite sutras, listening to teachings, praying as a group at Ise-jingu Shrine, etc., and there may be many other details.
At first, I heard that they wouldn't solicit them, but now I'm worried about great anxiety and confusion every day when they say they will accept marriage requirements.
I intend to understand and accept what he believes in, but when it comes to being forced upon me, there is also freedom of religion, etc., and I feel doubtful.
I think it would be nice to join a religion you don't believe in in the first place and participate in activities even though you don't believe it.
But I love him, and since we've known him for about 5 years, I have a great feeling that if possible, I want to stay with him for the rest of my life.
I haven't told my family yet.
I'm not sure what I want to do or what I should do.
Is it still difficult to get married and live well?
I would be happy if you could give me your opinion in this situation.
