Well, my wife is Hindu by birth or national origin (India), but she is not a staunch believer in religious images, idols, gods, goddesses, or all of the fascinating and mysterious divine beings, which I find awesome to explore and understand; she believes in the social aspect of getting together and meeting people. She's a socialite with uncanny powers of mingling and leaving the best impression. If you consider that a spiritual gift, then, well, she's probably way better off than I am, since I cannot see how a person abandons so much spiritual imagery, stories, folklore, legends, history, and knowledge. Together, we love and tolerate, so it all ends in restful sleep. What else matters?

The Christian faith says “wives, be submissive to your own husband, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives.” 1 Peter 3:1
So it can work.
But, if you’re strong in your faith, (taking that you’re Christian).
Ask the Lord if this is the man that He has set out for you.
James 1:5
Always, place God first and He will direct your ways.
From a non religious point of view, you’d also have to take into consideration how you’ll raise you kids.
Will it be okay with you if they believe the way your husband believes?

Sure as long as neither of you try to push your religions on each other. You have to learn to understand. Maybe you both can learn about each others religion and hey maybe one can convert. Then the parent thing comes into play were they feel weird that the other is of a different religion, and their grandkids, which religion should they believe. You have to take all this into account and ask yourself: do I love this person enough to go through this.

Compromise. My husband and I are of different faiths. I'm a catholic and he's not. I sometimes go to a catholic church, he will go from time to time but doesn't care for it and I really don't like his. So we go to a nondenominational one. Our children got a taste of all and choose their own. One went catholic, 2 have decided to become Jewish and one took my husbands! Strange mix, but we all love each other and that's what counts

I don't know the answer to that question. My mother is a Methodist and my father is a Baptist. They chose to go to a Presbyterian church. So I am a Presbyterian.

one or both of you make a change. depends on what kind of faith if they have simular beliefs. than it should work fine. If they love one another and its that big of an issue look to your minister or priest or rabbi or whatever faith you and him might be. maybe there can be some kind of comprimise

It can't, but that depends on how important your faith is to you. If you're really commited to your faith, you will disagree in everything, beginning from which religious ceremony you will perform on your wedding
