I am not religious, but dated someone who was very religious and she never had a problem with me not. I don't think it should matter just as long as they understand one another and can except one another for who they are.

you really don't have to!!! but it's always good if you can, why be married to someone who's always going out to the clubs, drinking and you are in church most of the time, you can have a lot of fun in church and some times this could mean having your husband or wife there with you, but the other one went out the night before, and you may ask them to go with you and all you will hear is i don't feel like it,are i just don't want to go.so it's always going to be a problem, Instead of wasting your time on a none christian person and trying to change them. but then you be the Judge!!!

I was always taught that. The Bible says for husbands and wives not to be unequally yoked together. I think that this could be interpreted many different ways. Most preachers use it to point out that they believe that Christians should marry Christians and non-christians with non-christians, if you get my drift. I believe that people need to pray and follow their heart. Only they know what they feel is right for them and their faith in God. I hope this helps you.

There's no law or rule that states that people must marry others from their own religion. Many people choose to, but it is in no way a requirement. Some people that marry outside their origin may convert (usually with Judaism or Catholicism). Many others may conduct separate ceremonies in each religious tradition.

The divorce among Christians is 50% just as in general society

My husband is Catholic, I was never baptized. When we were getting married we had to take pre cana classes. Which we did, but then a week before the wedding the church said they would NOT marry us, unless I signed a paper stating I will raise my children to be Catholic ---- to make a long story short, I married my husband - in another faith church.
So, i guess your answer is no. :)

I don't see why christians would always have to marry a christian. I'm sure many people marry out of their religon.

No not necessarily. In fact, in the Bible, there is a story about a Godly man, Salman, marrying a prostitute, Rahab. He didnt want to marry her but he was told by God to do so. Eventually, the prostitute changed her ways and became a believer herself.

I think you're really asking if a religious person should marry another religious person? I think it depends on the degree of dedication to their religion. I was born and raised Catholic and in Calif, but only went to church on major holidays, etc. My husband was born and raised in the South and went to church all of his life (Baptist and Non-denominational - Christian). We got married over 8 yrs ago and have never seen eye to eye about going to church or our beliefs in general. Its very important to marry someone with similar beliefs....trust me on this one!!!

not really..although it will matter but it will depend on you both.. one should give up..normally men will give up.. it how you deal with your relationship.. just talk it over.. most cases that i heard, one will give up for the sake of their relationship..
