A person decides to become part of a religion due to some sort of romantic interest. Happens quite often in Real Life, particularly with religions that do not allow their believers to marry outside their faith. It is somewhat more common for the woman to convert. Perhaps this is because so many cultures are patriarchal. Of course, actual dedication to the new religion varies from convert to convert. Individuals who lack genuine religious fervor may stop practicing their new faith if they Did Not Get the Girl (or guy) they were interested in. On the other hand, it is also common for the convert to become more fervent than their loved ones who grew up in the religion. Compare Love Is Like Religion, when the "conversion" is to love. See also Turn to Religion and Changing Yourself for Love. Contrast You Are Worth Hell, when a character chooses damnation to be with their loved one. |

Big Love has Margie leaving the main Mormon church and joining a polygamous offshoot. (Which, if the Mormon church learns of it, is grounds for immediate excommunication; hence a lot of the secrecy). | |

In Fiddler on the Roof, daughter Chava converts to Christianity so that she can marry a Christian. She is effectively dead to her father, and by extension the rest of her family, for most of the rest of the play. In the older, Yiddish adaptations, as well as Sholem Aleichem's Tevye stories, on which the plays are based, Chava cannot live without her faith. She deserts her husband and, possibly, children, begging her father to take her back. Sometimes, Tevye relents. Sometimes he doesn't, but she follows the yiddishe mishpocha into exile anyway, hoping eventually he'll let her rejoin the family. |

Discussed in Maus, the Author Avatar's wife converted to Judaism to please his father. Since the characters of Maus are represented by Funny Animals, Art Spiegelman, the Author Avatar, wonders if he should portray her conversion as her turning from a frog (i.e. French) into a mouse (Jew). His wife just tells him to portray her as a mouse and leave out the conversion. | |

Charlotte converts to Judaism for her eventual husband in Sex and the City, and was frustrated to discover that the process was much more involved and complicated than a quick in-and-out baptism. She does ultimately succeed in officially converting and proving herself to the rabbi as not just being in it for the sake of marriage as both he and she first believed. | |

In The Long Ships, Orm has to convert to Christianity to marry the beautiful Ylva. (From Islam, of all religions; he'd already converted from the Norse religion to serve under Caliph Almansur.) Olof Summerbird also converts to Christianity in order to marry Orm's oldest daughter Ludmila. Considering that he earlier had openly advocated for killing Christians on sight, this is a big step for him. Inverted by Toke, who refuses to convert for love. His "wife" Mirah is Muslim and spent a long time as a prisoner or slave among Christians, and she hates Christians passionately. Toke outright says that as much as he would do for his good friends Orm and Father Willibald, converting is simply not in the cards. |

Not technically a religion, but, in Discworld story Unseen Academicals, Pepe "converted to Dwarfishness" to be with his dwarven life-partner, Madam Sharn. It still fits the trope because, unlike most other fantasy settings, Discworld dwarves regard dwarfishness as more of a philosophy/lifestyle/deity-free religion than a matter of species. Hence why Captain Carrot is seen and held as being a perfectly normal dwarf, despite the fact that genetically he's a six-foot-something-tall human. | |

Queen Anne's Legacy: Downplayed and outright defied. Edward converts to Catholicism to marry Mary, Queen of Scots and to garner the support of the Catholic Church for his rebellion against Ambrose. However, the conversion is purely for political expedience and he has no intentions of remaining Catholic once he gains the throne. Ambrose, knowing full well how fanatical a Protestant his brother is, later uses this against him by making sure all the derogatory remarks Edward made against Catholics while he was in court are spread throughout England, to reinforce to his Catholic subjects that his brother's conversion is not genuine. | |

Not only does that mean leaving the church he was raised in but it also means that he is dead to his parents and sister.

Seinfeld: George converts to Latvian Orthodoxy briefly for a girlfriend, only to lose the girlfriend anyway (according to The Other Wiki, the writer of that episode had no idea that Latvian Orthodox was a real sect — he was trying to make up a fictional one). Inverted in another episode, Elaine goes to a bar mitzvah and the kid tries to make out with her immediately after being officially declared a man. She tells him that he's still not old enough to be a real man, so he calls the bar mitzvah a sham and renounces Judaism. His father then tries to make out with Elaine, interpreting her "not old enough" comment as evidence she was interested in him. She accuses him of only being attracted to her because he's Jewish and she's a shiksa, and to "prove" her claim wrong, he renounces Judaism as well.note Amusingly, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Elaine, is actually not only Jewish but a scion of one of the most famous and prominent Jewish families in the world. |

Subverted with actress Catherine E. Coulson of Twin Peaks fame. While she did convert to Judaism, it wasn't to get married. In fact she was married to her first husband, the non-Jewish Jack Nance (also a frequent David Lynch collaborator) at the time she started her study of Judaism. However, once divorced and converted to Judaism, she married a rabbi. | |

Faye Kellerman's Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series has Decker convert to Judaism in order to be with the Jewish Orthodox widow Rina Lazarus. An unusual example since as an adult he finds out that he was born to Jewish parents (and thus was already considered a Jew under Jewish law) but he was adopted and raised by Southern Baptists, so it's as much about getting reacquainted with his heritage as this trope. | |

Around the same time as Cassel, the Jewish German-born French composer Jacques Offenbach converted to Catholicism to marry his wife Hérminie d'Alcan, in 1844. Hérminie was from an old, conservative, devoutly Catholic family, and her husband being Catholic was non-negotiable for her. He gladly converted; they were happily married until his death in 1880. | |

A storyline on the primetime soap Sisters had youngest sister Frankie converting to Judaism with her husband Mitch. Interestingly, she was not converting to join his religion—they were both Christian and decided to convert after Mitch attended some services that gave him an insight into Jewish life. | |

Unsurprisingly common in The Bible: for example, the Matriarchs and Jacob's daughters-in-law were presumably all converts. A major theme of The Book of Ruth, with a twist: after Ruth's husband dies her mother-in-law, Naomi, advises her and Orpah to return to their old homes and religion. Ruth, however, stays out of loyalty to Naomi. |

One Judge Dredd one shot centred around a man who converted to the Katlic religion so he could marry his fundamentalist girlfriend. He even gets an implant that shocks him should he act in a manner or even think thoughts that go against the tenets of the church. Unfortunately for him, his wife dies shortly after the wedding and his conversion entailed cutting off his family and friends, leaving him all alone. He becomes suicidal depressed, but his implant won't allow him to follow through, which leads him to attempt Suicide by Cop. Dredd arrests him in the process and informs him that Tek Division has the resources to tone down the implant, for which he is extremely grateful. | |

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Astrid grew up Christian and converted to Judaism for her husband Noah. She felt like an outsider in the family and hoped converting would change that. Even after converting, though, she still feels like an outsider. Being Jewish doesn't make her fit in because she's not seamlessly Jewish like her in-laws—she's overtly, enthusiastically Jewish with an Immigrant Patriotism sort of zeal. Her Establishing Character Moment is arriving at a family dinner party bearing gifts from her eleventh trip to Israel. Her husband describes this kind of single-minded fixation as characteristic of her in general. | |

Sarah Hamoudi converted to Islam in order to marry Yasir in the backstory of Little Mosque on the Prairie...and is depicted as being a thoroughly unenthusiastic Muslim, partially because Yasir is as well (the plot of many episodes revolve around either their daughter Rayyan or the imam Amaar nagging one or both of them to behave more Islamically). | |

Happens a lot in 1632, but one short story, "Pastor Kastenmayer's Revenge", the titular Lutheran pastor seeks "revenge" for his daughter eloping with a Catholic uptimer (and, it is implied, converting for him) by inciting the unmarried women in his congregation to likewise woo uptimer men, but demand a conversion to Lutheranism in exchange for marriage. | |

Tim Drake mentions his mother was brought up Jewish but converted to Catholicism to please her in-laws in Angel of the Bat. Tim was at least somewhat raised culturally Jewish but mentions his mother was more true to her newfound faith than his father, who was more of a Culturally Religious type. | |
