I did and it must have worked cause that was 40 years ago. We decided to teach the kids about all the different religions and let them make up their own minds about it. Without any pushing from us they mostly lean toward Buddhist teachings as being the most likely. They all thought that the christian God with all of the judgment and hell fire was scary but not very god like.
Love and blessings

YES! I am married to someone of a different faith. It can work but it is also hard. It does hurt when you have children and they say they want them to go with them and you can't take them or teach them what your believes are. So I would not change my mate, but sometimes I wish I would of married in the same faith.

Yes, most religions allow it, though some require that one person convert to the other person's faith. Marriage is difficult though, and requires a huge amount of compromise. That said, the fewer your major differences are, especially on such fundamental issues, the easier the marriage may be.

Yes you can, I have friends that have different faith. The down side is that they had to marry in front of a judge. You don't have to be of same religion to be in love with someone

a muslim woman must mary only a Muslim man although a man may marry out of his faith,now this being because the man is the spiritial leader of the home and the family must be follow the right path that leads us to paradise,and there are standards we must live by,and the examples of the Prophet(saw) must be followed,and prayer must be taught,there are many reasons for this being a must.Now my father is a Bapist missionary and he feels very deeply that all christians must mary a chriastian,and my grandfather was a church of God preacher and he felt only they were the true chuch.You can mary out of faith,we are born of free will,but it would be best to follow what is written for us and obey

OH yeah, I did. The only issue was the children. That wasnt' really much of an issue for us. We both feel like religion shouldn't be "pushed" on anybody, so we will give the kids the basics, and when they are old enough they can make the decision for themselves. We just don't make an issue of it in our home. Religion isn't really even talked about.

yes as long as THEY didn't make it an "issue" I'm not one to try to force others into accepting my beliefs, I would only marry someone who feels that way too. Might not marry someone who worshipped the Wizard of Oz of something goofy like that.

how on earth will you ever agree on anything? seems like you'd be setting yourself up for a whole lot of unnecessary conflict, unless one of you plans to convert. and even that won't work if the conversion is not real (in the heart)
