This troper's Mennonite mother converted to Catholicism for his father. She participates a lot in the Church, too. I would like my girlfriend to convert for me when we get married, too. I think she's cool with that.

This troper's dad converted from Catholicism to Presbyterianism when he married my mom. Judging from several comments he's made, I'm guessing he wasn't really happy with Catholicism, anyway.

I also should note that this seems to be a pattern among some of the men in my family, as both my grandfathers were examples of this trope - my maternal grandpa was a Christian Scientist-turned-Presbyterian and my paternal grandfather was an Episcopalian-turned-Catholic. The latter, however, could count as a subversion; even though he was taking classes to convert, he couldn't officially do so until his mother, who absolutely ''hated'' Catholics, died (at the age of 102, ''decades'' after he'd married).

This troper spent a few days in a family home in a village on the River Kinabatangan in eastern Sabah, Malaysia. We stayed with a middle-aged teacher who loved practising his English and his wife. Both were Muslim, and it turned out the man had converted so that they could marry. It clearly wasn't that much of an issue as it seemed to me that Muslims in Malaysia take Islam as seriously as many Christians do in Britain. Which is to say they believe in it but don't devote their lives to it.

This tropette's mother was a Lutheran before she met my dad. She converted to Roman Catholicism. I think it's rather sweet.

Rather violently averted with this troper's best friend: she refused to convert to Catholicism for her fiance in an explosive altercation. As a rather militant atheist, she decided not to compromise her principles for love. Pride is a cold bedfellow.

This troper's mother converted to Roman Catholicism when she married her husband (this troper's father). They actually had to get married twice as a result. Although it's worth noting that she thought very highly of Pope John Paul II even before she met my father.

This troper's father and mother weren't able to be together for their first anniversary, due to him being in the Navy and being on literally the other side of the world. To make up for it, he quit smoking and was baptized a Catholic on that day. Over twenty years later it's still obvious that he doesn't necessarily believe in Catholicism, but he still goes to Mass with her almost every week.

This Troper's father was raised Buddhist and converted when he married her rather devout Anglican mother. He did his research, too - his study is full of Christian apologetics and Bible commentaries. Aww.

This troper's parents are afriad I may undergo this trope as I actually enjoy flirting with females from other religions.

My wife (then-girlfriend) went from Protestant to eclectic Wiccan.

A friend of mine went through a cruel subversion. He initially wasn't thrilled that his new boyfriend was Mormon (he himself is Atheist). But after weeks of mulling over it, he decided to respect his boyfriend's beliefs and love him regardless...only for the boyfriend to dump ''him'' when he was unwilling to convert.

Let me get this straight (pun not intended) - a gay LDS actually ''wanted his boyfriend to convert''? Was this a more tolerant branch or something?

This troper has a friend who converted to Catholicism in high school for his girlfriend. The religious devotion endures, but the relationship is long over.
