No. It is just another challenge. I know plenty of interfaith marriages and most of them are working out just fine.

Yes, absolutely...it is a serious mistake to be "unequally yoked." Nothing but pain and heartbreak will follow, trust me. The only way it would work is if you both don't really give a flip about your particular faith. That way you won't care what they believe. In which case, what is the point of being married to this person?

One in this circumstance who is interested in doing what will have God’s approval would do well to note what Jehovah has counseled about marrying, in case he wants to remarry after the present marriage ends legally and Scripturally. God commanded his servants that they should not consent to a marriage between a true worshiper and one who did not worship Jehovah in accord with the truth of his Word. (Deut. 7:3; Neh. 10:30)
Marrying an unbeliever can lead to God’s disapproval, as it did with King Solomon of Israel. (1Â Ki. 11:4, 9) God’s Word says that true Christians are to marry “only in the Lord,” or only other true Christians. (1Â Cor. 7:39)

no as the only basic differences in any Religious Belief System and another are the differences in the NAMES they refer to THE CREATOR as along with the difference in the various Rituals and Ceremonies. no religion is better than another as there are many ways to get to ones destination one can walk, run, ride a bike, a motorcycle, take a bus, a train, a plane and all reach the same destination. GOD is to big to be in just one place.

The religion should not be a problem between 2 people that love each other .
Actually,the religion should not interfear.
And no,it would not be a mistake at all,depindind on the people.

From the Christian standpoint, it is serious enough that God's word tells us not to do it. The bible calls it being "unequally yoked". If you are a born again believer in Christ, why on earth would you marry someone who doesn't believe in Him? What foundation could you build on? If your life is about Jesus....what would you have in common with a person who doesn't know Him at all? And don't think you can "bring someone around".
Very, very bad idea.

In most cases, yes. When couples have children, it's common for one or both parties to be drawn closer to their religious roots. Even if you agree before you marry how your kids will be raised regarding religion, odds are one of you will reneg when you actually get there.

Not if you love someone enough. I have to change my beliefs to be able to marry my girlfriend.
