--Catholic and male--
Catholics can marry a non-Catholic.
For myself though, while I would be open, Catholicism is so vastly important to my life, and my thoughts and what I am doing in life is so very Catholic that the likelihood of a non-Catholic finding me attractive is very small, as well as vice versa. Seriously, non-Catholics are not typically going to find that going to Eucharistic Adoration is a good date.

This kind of marriage will never work in the long run unless the non catholic girl will subject herself to catholic conversion. In other words, Yes I will marry a girl who is non catholic but if and only if she's willing to be converted. No I will not marry a non catholic if she's not willing to be converted to my faith, Marriage is a harmonious relation, there are ways, means and traditions in a catholic faith that a non catholic would not even understand nor accept.

Yes, if there is respect for each other's religion, and that both parties are free to pursue our own religion... and that a Catholic priest is a witness to our marriage. One difficult part that might come into the picture is what religion to bring up the children with.

My husband is Catholic and I am Seventh-Day Adventist. He married me even though we are of two different faiths. We've been married over 3 years and he attends my church with me. I do not force him to come to mine nor do I force him to come to church. Also, we do not push our beliefs on each other. I try to live by example and by God's grace, he's catching on.

I would. Love is probably one of the greatest gifts God gave man. "Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love." Corinthians. God brings two people together for a reason, it happens for the sake of both souls, and both families. Love is love, and nothing compares to that.

For sure. I don't have any problems with people who choose a different faith or no faith at all. I have my own spirituality, and that's all that's important. I wouldn't force anyone to change to my faith or insist upon it at all.
