You are absolutely correct. And later, when their marriage is on the rocks, or their faith has lapsed, or both, they will wonder why, and the answer was staring them in the face right from the start: They were disobedient to the commandment. (II Corinthians 6:14)
By the way, we can associate with non-believers, we just can't become partners with them, as Paul tells us, "I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral-not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or greedy people, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world." (I Corinthians 5:9-10)

Not all christians take the bible literally. My husband married me even though the bible would say he is unequally yoked. He says faith is one thing and an old book is another and he'll take faith over the book because the book was written by humans and a great deal of the time humans have agendas.

True love knows no boundaries, those who base relationships solely on a single factor are on a train-ride with disaster and holding a ticking timebomb. I prefer a girl's personality over everything else. I've met several that were lovely looking, but either stressed their own religion too much or attempted to convert me against my will, all of those have gone out the front door with a boot print on their ***.

to know anything about christianity, you must know the heart of jesus. jesus is our ultimate example that we are to spend time with non believers. he chose to live among the tax payers, thieves and prostitutes, just to name a few. how else are we to touch people if we iscolate ourselves from them.i have been married for 22 years, and the last 8 of those i have been a christian. i will never bring my husband to christ by divorcing him,but i certainly will through loving him. it is with out a doubt a journey of patience and faith as i watch God slowly changing his heart. i understand that it would be far easier to marry within the faith, it is certainly wise advise, and one that would make our lives a little less painful. so, it is certainly advisable to marry a person with a heart for God, it is what i pray for my own children. but it is not the rule.
God bless.

It is a failing of human nature, I guess. My own marriage failed because of this. Of course I was very young when I married and I had hopes he would be a better person than he ended up being. I have not remarried.

Some Christians do that (they're "non-practicing"). For me, it's hard to find a date because I would like to date only Christians.

Sometimes the hormonal urges and attractions are so great that you make the mistake of marrying a Christian.

We shouldn't.
But sometimes we are walking according to the flesh and not in the Spirit, so we make mistakes - just like every other human.
The difference is we are forgiven, our sins being covered by the blood of Jesus.

Sometimes, in marriages, one person becomes born-again before the other, or decides to leave the church and the other doesn't. Or else they share other values in common, despite their religious differences. I would hope they thought about it, long and hard, especially when it comes to children.
