I follow the teachings of Buddhism (and practice daily), but my husband is entirely non-spiritual/non-religious.

We were both raised in extremely religious Christian homes. We both questioned teachings of the church early and often and had generally negative experiences with Christianity. It just never made any sense to me, but I understand that for many people it is a positive environment.

What's religion?

My parents are religious when convenient. My dad never went to church with us and we stopped going at age 12. I strayed away from religion. My mom is the breadwinner and my dad is emasculated. They have marriage issues.

I recently became a Christian again and I'm a strong believer in traditional Christian gender roles.

I'm an atheist, and I was not raised with religion. My parents were raised Catholic but wanted their kids to have the freedom to choose our own path. Finding red pill concepts was new to me and yet familiar at the same time. It just clicks for me.

My husband and I are both devout Christians and we have a very traditional marriage with traditional roles which we base off of God's word. I could talk and talk about how giving our marriage to God and living off the Bible has strengthened our marriage.

While I am a student of Christ's teachings, and go to church, I do not think of myself as religious. I disagree with quite a bit that religion says, and I find comfort in certain things that are considered 'bad' by religions. The only exposure to religion that I had as a child was very negative. But I can say that my mother really was the one that shaped the beginnings of RP thoughts for me, because she was a great example for how feminism and 'sexual freedom' were harmful, and how good men did not bother with women that wanted to be the boss in the home. Even at a very young age, I knew I wanted to be nothing like her.

I'm a total heathen. I grew up in an atheist/agnostic household with liberal social values, and my mother's a die-hard feminist (although she's willing to have her mind changed about things and is not anti-man-- we debate a lot).

I embraced TRP because it makes my bf happy to be treated with respect and admiration, and he's pretty fucking wonderful and deserves to be made happy to the fullest extent of my abilities. It's more about function than dogma for me, tbh.

My husband and I are both Catholic. But I tend to identify more with RPW rather than some of the Christian traditional blogs.

I had a religious upbringing that involved lots of bible talk and church every Sunday. In my teen years I became less religious, then went back to being somewhat religious as a young adult. In the last 5 or 6 years, I've really embraced being irreligious - somewhere between pagan and atheist. I no longer support organized religion, and believe there are multiple gods if any. The Boss is about the same as me, minus the multiple-god thing.

My mother cooked and cleaned, and was a stay-at-home mom for a while. She ended up running a preschool (or daycare?) for a few years on the property, but didn't go back to work until she separated from her alcoholic husband. When I was a religious adult, I wasn't a very good RP wife. I may have started that way, but a mix of resentment and entitlement caused me to be a bitchy wife, so our relationship had a lot of competition and conflict. We ended up getting divorced, and I've since found a great guy and improved myself.

I am kind of a free-spirited hippie type of person, so I really like the self-help part of RPW. If anything that's my motivation to submit since religion is out of the picture.

I was raised Quaker but haven't gone to Meeting in quite a while. I still feel that I'm religious, though, and have been leaning more towards mainstream Christianity. I haven't found a sect yet that I feel entirely comfortable with but I am going to a local Pentecostal church a lot.

I grew up in a Southern Baptist household, but I'm essentially Agnostic and have been since I was a young girl and chose to no longer attend church. My SO is the same, although he leans more towards an apathetic angle about it ("could be a god, but I don't care").

Been A Christian all my life and just got into the whole spiritual aspect of it. Raised in TPR, a lot of the teaching coincide especially for women.

I don't have any strong religious background. Mom was sorta New-Agey-spiritual with a Catholic background, ambivalent Dad, and a lot of Bill Nye the Science Guy and Magic School Bus growing up.

Agnostic leaning towards atheist all my life, so is my SO (although I don't think he knows about RP). So I'm approaching RP from a biological perspective.

Christian here! Not from the deep south or anything but the traditional gender roles are definitely not a new idea to me. I wouldn't say I have religious motivations, my motivation is more to improve myself and make my marriage happier. But anything that leads my man into a closer relationship with God is always going to be a big bonus. I'm hoping that as I grow into my RPW-hood that he'll take more of a leadership role in our spiritual lives too.

I was raised Catholic, SO was raised Methodist - we were both very active in our churches growing up. Both of us are somewhat spiritual now (believe in God, pray sometimes, that kind of thing) but we don't attend church. SO and I both have some qualms with organized religion so it's not a part of our life. Most of my family is very Southern and very Catholic - the other half is very Southern and very crazy.

Whilst I'm not religious nor do I believe in god, I see religions as a series of generally good ideas, wrapped up in an easy-to-understand package. So whilst I'm not religious, I'm fine with the “live and let live" attitude of most Christians.

Husband and I are both faithful, practicing, Catholics.

Catholic.

My SO and I are both faithful and practicing Catholics. Our shared faith helps to ground our relationship in trust and respect.

I do. I'm Traditional Catholic.

I was always a seeker, then at one point anti-religious. I am quite spiritual now. My husband is agnostic.

I was raised in a faith based healing Christian church. I struggled a lot with that but I loved the community of my church. After moving out and college and all that I've continued to seek that kind of community I had at home with my parents and church.

I also find faith to be a very private matter. Even other peers raised on the bible are very judgemental of my religion. Plus my husband was raised faith free but his parents were Lutheranish. He says 'the jury is still out' whenever people ask him his thoughts on God. So our current plan is to wait until the kids are 12 or so before we introduce them to church if I am even going to one.

I grew up agnostic. Never went to church til I met my SO, I'm not even baptized. I'll be converting for him, but that's not the PoV/"motivation" I come from.

I was raised in church, went to church camps, vacation bible school, and was even a counselor at 2 of the camps I attended as a child on a regular basis. I started to identify as agnostic when I was attending university. Then I took a class on History and Systems ,( my degree is in psychology ), and decided I was more of an atheist. I prefer secular humanist though.

Raised catholic though I have not practiced since college.

I believe in my SO, does that count?

My husband and I are both Christian, though I was agnostic when we met. He didn't pressure me to convert but he did help me find my spirituality. Having God in our relationship definitely strengthens it and I find a lot of solace in the traditional gender roles found in scripture :)

Not religious, although I was raised as a go to church once a year Catholic. And I'm from and still reside in the northeast US. I'm new to adopting many of the rp practices, and it is definitely a departure from how I grew up.

Buddhist here! Though that is not a religion... it's about growing, strengthening your self and respect towards everything. I'll have to get baptised though as to not upset my SO parents when marriage comes

I was born Methodist, but converted to Mormonism when I was nearly 14.

I'm Muslim, but most of my interest in this subreddit and lifestyle comes from the influences of my grandmother (Methodist).

My family have always been a traditionalist bunch. Not religious, but morally in line with conservative roles for women.

Although I'm not Christian, I must say I do love reading the Bible passages on a wife's role in marriage. It gives me a lot of comfort to read and lets me look forward to the day when I become a wife myself.

Wiccan father and Suffi mother - it's actually interesting the places where those do meet up with TRP - There's a lot of emphasis on the dance between God and Goddess in Wicca that correlates, and a lot of emphasis on surrender, in Sufism.

Dad is christian and Mom is Muslim. Grew up pretty red pill and honestly I like traditional gender roles. I like the idea of getting married young and starting a family. I like how a guy leads in a relationship should be the captain and lead while my Mom follows along. Of course they're not perfect and disagree sometimes which is normal but they've lasted 30 years together. I want a relationship with a man similar to the one my parents had.

Things were definitely different back then. I feel like girls have way too many standards. It's funny to think about because my parents practically had an arranged marriage and barely knew each other before they got married but they made their relationship. It's the same reason why I laugh when a girl had a checklist about how she only dates 6 ft men or what not. Like let's be real: those things are extras and nice things to have but they're not going to keep a relationship lasting.

Seeing their relationship, ive gotten rid of my mental checklist for the man I want and Ive been more accepting about all the kinds of men out there because realistically, any one of them can probably make me happy at the end of the day.

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm super religious but I do happen to believe in a lot of things that Christianity and Islam have to say on the topic of marriage.

As for parents, God has definitely brought them closer together.
