Religion or Love?

A friend's quote on Facebook got me thinking, below is the question and the reply..will keep adding to the reply..

Is love more important than religion or is religion more important than love??

What I had to say- If you ask me, it is about continuing to be in love with the person in spite of his or her religious preferences. I say "continuing" to be in love because falling in love is NOT a conscious effort, it just happens whereas being in love with the person by accepting their pluses and minuses is a conscious effort and is something that will take a lot of time and effort from both the parties...
