Depends on the people I guess. I would think that there would be a lot of conflict though.

It's a bad idea if both people want to base their marriage and life on their respective faith. Usually the problems arise when the children are born. I have seen quite a few interfaith couples(mainly Muslim men married to Christian women) who were fine until they had children.Then it all went to pot.
A Jew isn't going to want their child baptized. A Muslim will not want a Christmas tree in the house. A Christian wouldn't like their kid to have a bar/bat mitzfah. And no Abrahamic faith will want their child or praying to Buddha with statues and incense or worshiping ancestors or 'strange Gods' as some faiths do.
However, if both parties are not into organized religion, it shouldn't be a problem for them or any children involved.
People do need to consider any future children they may have. I think many young couples are so in love they only see each other, not the future. The want everything to work out, so they convince themselves that it will.

It can work and I've seen it work. Personally with me, though, I don't think it would work. I think I'd have to marry an Atheist, Agnostic, or someone who doesn't care about religion at all. I don't really know why, because pretty much all of my friends are Christian and we don't argue about religion or anything, but I don't think I could marry a religious person.

I hold as scared any REAL commitment between a man and a woman.. I believe there are a lot of marriages that are nothing more that State sanctioned adultery.. people having more ex's than most people have friends.... Jim

Well, it works better if they have the same.
I think the main things is, Both must be saved before they get married..They need God in their life first. If one is saved, and the other is not. The Bible tells us they should not get married. Why? One is a believer and the other is unbeliever. And this does not work.
Like mixing oil and water. They won't blend together.

it can be religious or spiritual but it doesnt have to be, as a matter of fact you could just as easily get married in a court house.

God says this...
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

It depends on the people involved, and if there will be children to consider. I cannot just say ''I am against''

As long as neither tries to convert the other, it's fine.

I think its fine as long as neither of the two married folks are fanatics or fundamentalists.
