marriage between different religions, chance of success?

Answer 1

no i don't think so cause both of them will have a different opinions about wish religion they will bring up their children on

Answer 2

Yeah, it's still have a chance of success. Like the others said, the key is tolerance, respect, and one more from me understanding each other. Without understanding, I think tolerance and respect nearly impossible. Keep in mind that every religions have their own way, but the goal is the same, to glorify God and lead human to do good deed.

Answer 3

Both people have to be somewhat open-minded and willing to compromise. If that's the case, it can work fine. If either one is hard-core into their religion, fundamentalist in any way, it's likely doomed to failure.
Of course, the ability to compromise is an essential skill in ANY marriage...so if a person can't compromise they're not a good candidate for a spouse no matter what religions are involved!

Answer 4

Oh they do succeed. I have seen many. Isn't marriage one of adjustments. This is only another adjustment. If two people are sensible, they will succeed. I have seen many such marriages. Even if one tries to dominate over the other, it succeeds if the second partner agrees.
It is the child of such a marriage who often suffers confusion. Parents try to impose his or her religion. Only a very adjustable child survives this.I mean a 'child' . Not when the child grows up.

Answer 5

it depends on what a person wants in the end, religion like a relationship is a choice, if you can't change or learn new things or learn to accept something different, then no, there is no chance, if you can find a common ground and that is what you want then yes, a positive open mind and heart can acheive anything alone in life, combined they can do so much more

Answer 6

Would depend on the religions, and how devout you are to each.

If it is say, casual Catholic and a casual Baptist, or say a Devout Mormon, and a casual Jehovah's Witness.

I wouldn't let religion stop a marriage, if you guys have talked about getting married, it hasn't interfered thus far, why would it later?

Answer 7

sure i don't see why not....as long as you love and accept each other for who they are, and what they believe.......(usually problems with a future spouses religion come from the families of the individuals...and then when children come into the picture each family wants the children to be raised with their beliefs...knew a couple once...they were two different religions...they both "converted" to something entirely different....dang their families were mad...but the have lived happily ever after, and raised a couple of real good kids. ) :)

Answer 8

THe amount of love and willingness to make sacrefices (especially on the side of the woman) determines the succes of a marriage.

But I determin succes as that it lasts at least a life-time.

What do you mean by a succesfull marriage?

Answer 9

if both parties are committed to their respective religion, chance of success is low. As long as one or both do not hold strong beleiefs, the chances are better

Answer 10

The chances are only as good as much effort you are willing to put into it. It doesn't matter who you marry, you are going to have to work to make it work. That's marriage. It's hard work.

Answer 11

If both are not devout, there is a good chance if they love each other. If either one is devout-that one must dominate-or its over. I did not say it was right or wrong. Thats just the way it is.
