If it did not cause so many terrible problems, it would be highly amusing that so many people have a problem with the concept of One and are thus so easily plunged into theological crisis as a result.
Would you convert?

No, I would not. I hold very strong Christian beliefs in God and Jesus and could not just drop those or change them for someone else. If you love me, you love all of me, period, you don't ask me to change.
My husband is Jewish and we have never asked this of each other .

Why did this guy even date outside his religion if he wasn't "allowed" to marry someone from a different religion? Did he just think he would be able to pressure her into converting? I would feel like a total sell out converting to any religion that I didn't believe in.
I have to admit, the same question occurred to me. I think it is that so many of us are prone to a sort of solipcism in this regard, and don't really consider that the other fellow's feelings about their culture, their religion, family, clan, tribe, etc, are just as real and strong as our own, in the case of those of us who have them.
We have probably all known women who got involved with men from different cultures and were just amazed and horrified to discover that their new boyfriends had no intention of completely abandoning their own "ways," from diet to clothing to religion!
