I did and it did not work out. We were too young and assumed too much. If you consider marrying a person from another religion you should think seriously about a few things: 1) Are you strong enough in your own beliefs that you would remain faithful to those beliefs? 2) Do either one of you hope that other will "convert"? 3) Will any children be raised under both religions and if not, is the other person willing to respect the others faith?
Have a CLEAR understanding of the future and what would be allowed/accepted/respected as far as each faith is concerned. I think an mixed faith marriage can be successful IF there is no misunderstandings and mutual respect for each other's faith is present. Also truthfully any woman/man that would convert to another religion just to make the other partner happy was never a very faithful person to begin with. Nothing and NOONE should come between you and your faith. That is the determining factor of a true spiritual person.

yes and no, when I married my husband I was a Christian and he was a Muslim. I married him fully knowing what his beliefs were about. Since I have converted to Islam (of my free choice a Muslim man can marry a Christian or a Jew). If I were to marry again it would have to be to a Muslim
My parents have been happily married for 30 years and they also have different views. My mother is a Christian and my Dad is a Atheist. They respect each others views.

I personally would not.
If you do or you don't that's your personal choice. It comes down to where your religious beliefs stand in your life. If religion and tradition is important to you, I don't see how you can just be OK with marrying someone who doesn't share your beliefs.
On the other hand,if religion is secondary or tertiary to you converting just to appease your spouse, or you just not discussing it, then obviously it's no big deal b/c to you religion is just something you do for your own selfish reasons (family tradition, fear, it's something to do...etc). For them their religious beliefs is something they do b/c they were born into it.

From the answers we get, it's proven RELIGIONS is indeed a problem to humanity.
Religions are supposed to bring peace and harmony, but apparently only for their own group and not to others!
We'd seen more disharmony occurred over religious issues than compromising each others... Apathetic!

I will marry someone with a good conscience. Religion to me is secondary.

Yup. I'm Pagan, and am marrying an Agnostic next month.
The thing is, we respect each others' beliefs and don't try to change or denigrate what the other believes.

No There are enough problems in a marriage without adding a conflict of religious beliefs.

Nope. First and foremost priority is that the dude must be a Christian.
