Would you or did you marry outside your faith? Why or why not?

I think a lot of these people have yet to meet someone who truly rocks their world!  When I met my husband, I was Mormon, he was not, and it became truly trivial.

If I truely love someone, there religion or lack thereof is not going to stop me from marrying them. I wouldn't let there lack of faith influence or change me.

According to Catholicism, anyway, it is certainly possible to marry the wrong person.  Problem is, you promised to be faithful 'for better or worse, till death do us part.'  In other words, thank God for your blessings, ask His help, and make the best of your marriage.  If your spouse dies, then you may of course remarry.  If your spouse is still living, then yes, it is adultury.  As for heaven or hell, that's up to God and not me.

The Catholic Church recognizes marriage outside of their Church. They just don't recognize it as a Catholic marriage. It's not like the Catholic Church is saying "Oh, those two Baptists over there aren't really married."

I belong to the Church of Christ.  So there really is no "religion" other than we are just Christan.  Interracial marriages are not frowned upon at all...we even have some members who's spouses are non believers..they are always welcomed if they chose to come to a function, and they are always pleasant.

Yes even if you are Catholic. The church does not recognize a marriage outside of it's own church. Now if you got married in another catholic church you have to get an annulment and man that's tuff to do.

Yes they do. They call them people of the "book".\n\nMuslims do not allow women to marry outside their religion though. even to the people of the "book".\n\nThey had one book and thought they had hit a jackpot.\n\nBut seriously speaking they used to behead people who refused to convert and take their women in. so it was declared legal.

I don't, because no church suits me.\n\nMy belief system long ago came to the conclusion that christianity and islamwere both completely absurd, and that I'd be a terrible buddhist. Living in Europe, it would be hard to adhere to ethnic religions like taoism, shintô, hinduism or sikhism. I can't convert to judaism either...\n\nSo I'm still looking for a religion I can believe in, agree to, and practice without reservations.

Yes.  I am married to a muslim man.  I follow an earth religion and he is muslim.  We both practice our religion and are happy together.  We have been married for almost 5 years now.  I have learned a lot from being with him.\n\nYou can work things out, if you love each other and respect each other, religion will not stand in the way of it.

That would make you unequally yolked, and I don't believe God intends for you to marry someone who isn't a Christian.\n\n*EDIT*\n\nIf you two are deeply in love, then if she is the one, she will get saved.  If not, then she's not the one for you, and you should ask God for help with moving on.

I say that everyone should do what they think will make themselves happy.\n\nI probably would not marry someone from another religion.  Too many differences.\n\nBut that's just me.

It wouldn't be marriage would it?

No, I wouldn't want to stay married because I feel trapped in marriage. I felt like I just, "settled" with my husband out of fear of being alone. I think he did the same, but is too proud to admit it. We aren't each others soul mate because we have NOTHING in common and do not have the same expectations in life. We simply got comfortable with each other and left it that way.

actually.\nits VERY RECOMMENDED and probably a MUST to have both male and female of a married couple being God-fearing Christians.\n\nbecause, in that way, both would have more of God's grace and fervour.\nand that they can pull each other to be even more on fire with God. \nand it would be very hard for either side to backslide.\nmany advantages of having a both christian couple\n\nif any Christian girl says that, but looks more into the looks , money, stature, then God wouldnt really look upon the couple with favour.\n\nand that girl isnt really a 'on fire' type of Christian.\nnot that i'm saying i am.. but after all, its not for US to judge , but for God to judge.\n\nand yes im a girl, and i havent even gotten  my first boyfriend yet, but if i ever have a non-christian bf, it wont last, cos i wont let it last.\nwith my little faith, i believe that God will be pleased if even i break up a stead relationship with a nonchristian guy :D

Well, i think that when there are different faiths involved both spouses have to be open minded and they have to communicate with each other about their different religions/ faith. I am not married but i am in a relationship where we both have different religions. We talk about it and we try to know or to learn about the different religion. Mostly because of curiosity but also b/c we have to set boundaries. So if you talk to them and make sure they know how you feel then it'll be alright, but also as long you each of you do not try to impose their religion on each other. Just be open minded and talk about it.

absolutely not!!! i was raised in a conservative christian home and i rebelled when i moved out on my own. i now regret that i will not be able to share that with my husband when i marry. there is nothing wrong with being different. it takes a lot of courage to stand up for what you believe in and caving in to pressure is not a good reason to do anything and will only make you regret any choice you make under pressure more. anybody can cave to pressure, it takes strength and courage to go against the mainstream.
