only if you have been asked to convert.. or if you disagree on every major decision... make sure you have sorted out the following:
what religion will the kids be of
what religious ceremony will your wedding have
and so on n so forth
my advice would be to teach the kids both, and to have both ceremonies on the wedding.. and to celebrate religious occasions of both
ie, never give up one for the other!!!

Depends on the marriage, on the couple's religious and cultural outlook.
For many, absence of a common religion is unthinkable. For some it is irrelevant.
But religion has more than a purely religious function. Especially outside the big cities.

No, it does not matter. That is if the partners are not over zealous about their religious beliefs and can adapt well to the other person's religion. But if the partners in a marriage are extremely strong in their religious beliefs and practices then it is only reasonable and practical that both belong to the same religion so that they can accommodate themselves well for a happy married life.

It can. Sometimes having different religions can tear a marriage apart unless one converts to the other. It depends how strong your own faith/belief is though.

Yes, very much so. Why make more problems going into a marriage on top of the ones you have yet to discover?

Sure it does, to raise children in a harmonious, loving, cohesive family unit. Also, with husband and wife having the same religion, it makes it easier to promote values and morals within the family, to have agreement on how to raise children, etc.

Faith in God is very important in a marriage. God's Word tells us to "not be unequally yoked." That is so true! Both partners need to share the same faith because it strengthens the bond and gives constant support, comfort, and joy in the marriage.

Yes it does as it will go to the core of the value system used to judge all decisions. it is critical that this area has some agreement before entertaining any ideas of marriage!

The both of you should be opened minded and discuss each others religious beliefs. Down the road could be a nightmare, if you decide to have children. Please ,take the time to discuss how your going to raise children. If you can`t agree now, your not going to agree later. Good Luck.

of course it matters! religion is away of life.people with different religion may have different perceptions and practices in almost everything. it takes a lot of compromise to make it work. thats y most people prefer to convert or marry someone with the same relegion.
