[quote=Anonymous][i]I think the one thing I could never ever understand is how could a woman convert? I mean I think about myself being born and raised a Protestant my whole life, and suddenly someone expects you to change and wipe that off the map because he purports  to "love you".[/i]

Not everyone is so attached to the religion they were raised with. millons of Americans are "unchurched". Converting is not necessarily a spiritual crisis for the.

[i]Sorry that is not love.[/i]

Whatever. Different people have different conditions on getting married. Some insist on children or on wanting to live in the same city.

[i] And what makes his religion of Judaism so much better? [/i]

Its not better.  People who want their spouse to be Jewish do not expect the people who are not their spouse to become Jewish.

[i]I cite this because this scenario seems to be the most common one in which a husband expects his wife to convert. You rarely hear this about other religions.
[/i]

Possibly because being Jewish is about peoplehood, not strictly a "religion" in the Christian sense. Also because so much of the Jewish religion is centered on home and family.

[i]And then to convert to a religion so steeped in wrong doing [/i]

[i]I would run far far away if anyone asked me for as much.[/i]

I don't think anyone could express regret that you did thast.

[i]Only know one person who did this and lived to very much regret it, left with 3 young kids to raise.[/i]

Clearly, no one else has been divorced and left with young children for other reasons. [/quote]
