Would you marry someone who isn't of your religion? (40)
I don't believe that people of two different faiths can make a good marriage if they are both devout in their faith. On the other hand, there are some religions/philosophies that are compatible with others, so this may not be true for all belief systems.
As a Christian, I have learned over the years that I'm best paired with one who thinks similarly. It's just too difficult to attempt to live my life with someone who's not on the same page with me, religiously-speaking.
For me, God is a constant in my life. I seek God's will in how I live my life and many of the decisions I make are made with His will in mind. I prefer to find a partner who feels the same, whom I can pray with, go to church with, and basically share my love of God with.

As candles have been lit, I wonder. Are the two flames making one or are they making three?
If the faith is hope an faith for all mankind than it is a good mix. If it is ruled by rules and regulations than it is religion.

religion?
yuk
not advised.
i happen to be a follower of christ
that makes me a christian (little christ translated)
but he was against religion and invited relationship-
maybe for this very reason? that it would not keep people apart?
i married a guy who isnt sure what he believes and our marriage is still sacred, consecrated and clearly blessed. these principles exist regardless what banner you put over it. in my mind anyway.

It's a difficult question because it depends on the person. If you are devoted to what you have been taught it's likely you will not understand or accept another point of view. On the other hand, it all depends on how open you both are in intellectual discussions and respect for other people's point of view. Similar to foreigners moving to a new country. "You can take the man out of the country but you can't take the country out of the man."

Isn't faith in your love for someone enough ?

I'm not 100% sure I'd do that. I think it can be something that draws two people together and that you are heading in the same direction as a couple. Perhaps if there was respect towards having different viewpoints, but alas it seems that people tend to think that they are right and everyone else is always wrong.

I think it would be ok.
I enjoy having differences with my partners.

marriage should have nothing to do with religion.
or more precise: religion should always keep out of personal affairs.

Yes, but only if he respected it was not my faith and it works both ways

Depends on what you would mean by religious? I wouldn’t consider anybody who’s lives are consummated by their faith?

Same here, I couldnt ever consider partnering anybody who didnt have a logical, analytical mindset - I have to be able to respect my partners intelligence.

if someone cited religion as a reason for not getting married, they just don't want to get married,
if your religion gets in the way of you marrying someone then it is doing a better job than any form of birth control - which is a little ironic 
if you sincerely want to marry someone of a different religion you will find a way.

The only thing "sacred" about religion are the cows (i.e. the religious have a cow if their religion is criticized).
Religions, with only the rarest exception, "teach" the idea that those not belonging to the religion are "flawed", "inferior" "going to hell", "need to be converted" and other such nonsense. Why would you get involved with someone who's view is that you're not fine as you are and that your views don't deserve respect?
And that's without mentioning the issue of kids or the arguments about how kids should be raised. Look up the names Joseph Reyes and Rebecca Shapiro. They exemplify all the reasons people of differing religious views should not get married.

For me, they would not have to be Jewish but they would have to be Messianic in faith [which is different than being of Chrisitan faith]. If they aren't Messianic in faith, I feel the strength of the marriage would be compromised by the differences. I do however occassionally date outside of the Messianic faith.

My ex was Christian and I am muslim and we had no problem at all about religion. I am open minded, I visited Churches and mosques too. Also temples! I have respect for all the religions. If I love someone, and as long as we don't put pressure on eachother, it doesn't matter. Religion is very personal thing, I beleive no one shouldn't put any pressure on anybody about religion.

Unevenly Yoke
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14 NKJV
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
In marriage there are always problems although they may be small it is always better to be able to worship together... I realize that this verse refers to the non-believer, it also applies to two people yoked together and one pulling one way and the other pulling in the opposite direction... This is not a good thing...Sure it may be overcome but that is just another obstacle in the way of a happy, loving, respectful relationship.
As far as having a different religious belief I believe the same applies..

Yes my dear it is posible to marry with somene who's not from your religion, but it had a condition, if you are in love then its does not matter, coz Love is blind from everywhere ......

It always amazes me how religion is such a wedge issue. It can, and often does come between a man and a woman who are perfect for each other, but are driven apart before they even have a chance to fall in love and become a successful family.

The only logic is to marry someone you love -
if you spend your time worshiping imaginary beings and living your life according to a 2000 year old book of fairy tales - you will have to find another automaton to marry
