It would depend on what you mean by "religion". If you mean Gentile/Jew/Buddhist/Muslim, etc. it would be very difficult as they have some different core beliefs and expectations and then in which would you bring up the children?
If you mean Baptist/Lutheran/Methodist/Catholic, etc. then that's a bit easier as they all believe much the same but have different rituals (so-to-speak).
It also depends if the one you marry is a dedicated attendant at their church-of-choice or just an in-name-only member.
Some couples I know have married out of their faith and have His-and-Her churches and don't attend a church together.

There is one all important question that needs to be asked to determine how this will work? How will you raise your kids? Seriously? I have had family members marry outside their religious beliefs and as soon as the kids came, she wanted to take them here and he wanted to take them there. Each of them said that they were totally against the others belief and the children were not allowed to just stay home and just not attend church. Needless to say they divorced and now the children go to his church and her church. Ridiculous because they could have done that married. Really think about this and talk it over with your partner, then you will have your answer.
P.S. If you really love someone, you are willing to give up everything for that person, and if the person really loves you back, they won't let you.

Well Chemist:
I never did until a few months ago and my answer is simple!
If the other person respects your religion and you repect their religion then its fine if you do marry them! So go ahead marry, respect eachother and be happy!
Religion is just like a tree with many roots! Its man made , none of us ever saw God!
Love SANAM

Of course i have asked myself something like that but the only thing i have to say is that if you really love somebody,you may not think this way.It is very difficult because there are many objections from the family side.One of the two should change their religion...

well its depends on the couple. if they are people who knows how to respect others beliefs and they have good tolerance then its ok! thats my case. I dont have probs with my partner cos we respect eachother. BUT there are also people who have a closed mind, and are too strict or even fanatics.If its like that then there will be problems for sure!

I think a couple who believe in different things can make it work. There may be problems regarding how to raise children. As before, if you love each other enough then you will do whatever it takes to make it work.

i say its ok, but i wouldn't have kids untill you were both on the same page. Rasing kids in two religions is just asking for a divorce
