I can only speak for myself...I am Christian, She is mormon (Born into it)... 3 years and a lot of pain and tears later...the break up. Why, well the biggest reason is our beliefs are completely different. I know after much pain and research that the mormon religion is not Christian at all. The only thing they have in common with a Christian is the name, Jesus Christ, on the side of their building. I can't, nor should I tell you what to do, but I wouldn't become unequally yoked for anything or anybody. It's my experience that when the time comes when each of you tries to convert the other, it will just breed resentment and hatred between you both. This is my personal experience as I know how that church operates. So, no, I don't think you should marry. I do think you should go check out what they really believe, if you want the truth.

As others have said, Mormonism is not Christianity.
Also, if you are asking on Yahoo Answers whether or not you should marry someone....
You must resolve this issue long before you consider the prospect of being married. Do not enter into marriage unequally yoked, because it most likely will not work, and if it does, it will not be as blessed as an equally yoked marriage. By blessed I mean happy.
But again, seriously, if you are asking here if you should marry this man, there are some major issues the two of you need to resolve.

sweetie, a lot of differences can be worked through but I believe that you should both come to an agreement on what you believe before you unite, only because if you are planning on becoming parents you what to be on the "same page" as to what church to attend a a family etc.. it is a major issue and it needs to be addressed..you have a chance because you are both believers , but are you willing to allow your husband to teach your child that Jesus was merely a prophet and not the Son of God? these are things you must work out before hand, that is why God says " do not be unequally yolked" Better to get it straight before hand then to wait and find out that neither of you will bend. To Jewel Baby I would like to comment on your "marriage for eternity" if you truely believe the bible you would also believe this statement by Jesus Christ
Matthew 22:30
"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." I am not downing your religon but you see from this example that you are taught somethings that are just not true, there is no marriage in heaven which is eternity! ..Celtic woman you are right on!

Try visiting other meeting places (not Mormon, Baptist or Pentecostal) and asking for a written copy of their doctrines. Then, afterwards, sit and discuss each thing on the list. Use your Bibles in this search of both the scriptures and your inner most feelings on each issue. You will soon have your own answer to this question. God be with you in your search.

You had better check the Mormon faith out a little deeper. Nowhere do they declare that Jesus Christ is God. Check also with your soon to be, and ask him if he believes John 1:1-3 where it says that, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Also ask him if the Mormons believe that God came to Earth in the flesh.
Mormons are not Christians. They are part of a cult. I cautioned you to be very careful on matters of religion when it comes to serving God. Remember, God is not in favor of religion as they break His Commandments.
Don't mess your life up with differences. Its like hitching up a cow and a horse to your wagon and hoping they get along pulling the load.><>

Yes, if you are prepared to do one of two things, and then neither of you tries to sway the other.
1) Find a religion in which you can both participate together.
2) Participate in your individual religions alone, and know that is not something that you will share together.
Just don't marry with the idea that in time things will change. They may not.

It sounds like this would be an insurmountable obstacle to a happy marriage. In the Bible God tells us we should be equally yoked. I think that your beliefs and his will conflict and clash, they are at such odds. How will you reconcile them in your marriage? What church will you attend? What will you teach your children? Do you want your children growing up believing as he believes? The best person to go to with your concerns is God. Pray like you've never prayed before. Ask Him if this is the man He wants you to spend the rest of your life with. Then listen until you hear His answer. Believe me, He will answer you and He will give you the strength you need to live by His answer. May God bless you with peace, love and understanding.

i doubt it. i think Mormons believe they are the only true religion if i am not mistaken. i got married to a very awesome loving man who was not any religion. he was into eastern philosophy, which has some wonderful ideas for living life. and i was a Jehovah's witness. i am not now. but it really was such an issue. and it shouldn't have been but it had to be because of the religion. for you it wont be a problem, but for him he doesn't have any choice i don't think but to try to convert you.

who cares. if you love each other go for it. as long as you two can communicate effectively with each other. yeah your religion is not the same but marriage is about coming to a common ground. come to a compromise on how to work out the religion thing and youll be set even if it means going to different churches on sundays this way you can have your own set of friends and then come together stronger as a couple. it is good to still have a life aside from religion

First of all, only one is truly Christian. The question to you is, what are your values, what are your beliefs? What do you want your children to believe? If Christ is at the center of your life (and you did not say or deny that), but if he is, wouldn't it make sense to have him at the center of your marriage? How could you honestly do that with an LDS (or any other non-Christian for that matter)? These are things that YOU have to answer for yourself.
