Why or Why Not?
I know people have preferences in a person…but can love really conquer these divides without changing that person’s culture or religion?

Different religions can cause a problem, but if we are good and understand each other than I would do it. If they were a different race of course I would. I admire all races, they all are beautiful in their own way

Yeah I would... but it can make things difficult on the families. For example, if you are let's say (totally random) Czech, and your mom can't speak English then it would be natural for your mother to want you to marry someone who speaks the same language. Just for the convenience of comfortable and easy communication. Now I wouldn't let that stand in the way if I fell in love with someone of a different culture or religion - but it is something that is understandable. Now, letting prejudice be the driving force for avoiding specific culture or religion is different altogether.

I know a lot people who do. Me personally, no, only for the simple fact that I feel that I have more in common with people who are the same culture and religion. Dont get me wrong, I have tried dating other religions and cultures and ot turned out to be a messy relationship for those reasons.

If our cultures meshed fine I do not see a problem. I am dating a fellow christian of a different denomination an dthat is hard enough and our CORE beliefs are the same. I could not imagine being with someone of a completely different religion. And honestly evebn this wouldn;t work if we were going to have children together. We have agreed to disagree on certain points.

I not only would I did. I am Caucasian and I married a man who is Mexican/American Indian. Our traditions were very different and we both had a lot of adjustments to make in the beginning but we made them because we do love each other. What that means is we both changed and established our own traditions. I guess it is working as we celebrated our 36th anniversary this past August.

Culture yes Religion NO!
My religion is a very important part of who i am. so to marry a person who doesn't feel the same thing would be unthinkable

Absolutely.
Don't you think it would get really boring to be with someone just like you for the rest of your life?
I am white and my boyfriend (who I intend to marry soon) is Asian. I am an Atheist and he is Catholic. I am a vegetarian and he ate a whole cow last night.
All of these things keep us guessing about each other and on our toes. It is exciting every day and we have learned to respect the differences between us.

Yes I would. I believe that diversity is what makes humanity strong. However, not enough people truly practice diversity and are as accepting of others' differences. I am willing to take anyone's differences and find a way to work with them so that there's not as many problems. Remember, communication works wonders when dealing with differences.

Sure, but go into it knowing that along with the regular stress of marriage would be additional cultural related stresses. You need to have respect along with your love in a healthy relationship.

I have a cousin who was a young single mother of 2. She met this Mormon guy. In a nut shell, they feel madly in love and got married. Althought, his family didn't talk to them the first 2 years; they are as happy as ever. They just had their first child together and his family has accepted them and my cousin's children! So I guess it can and it does!
