Answer 1

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2nd Corinthians 6:14 KJV HOLY BIBLE

Answer 2

The only reason people have a problem with it is because they are intolerant, ignorant and full of hate. My husband is a Christian and I'm a Wiccan. We have absolutely no problems in our marriage that have to do with religion. I think for it to work both people need to be firm in their beliefs and they have to be tolerant and knowledgeable about the others. We support each other 100% in everything the other does regarding religion. As far as children are concerned I feel that they should be taught about both religions as well as given the resources to research any other out there they might be interested in and then let them choose for themselves. In the end, it works if you make it work. And, I could care less if someone doesn't want to accept it. It's my marriage not theirs. Maybe if they worried more about themselves they'd see the hatred in their hearts.

Answer 3

Some religions forbid it, but I would go with the fact that there will be added conflict if two people with different beliefs try to make mutual decisions. Child raising is a big deal, often parents fight over which religion to teach the child. If religious beliefs conflict, there will be fighting and the children will be confused and probably hate both. Marriage is hard enuf work without adding personal belief conflict to it.

Answer 4

Regardless of the belief of most people in here, interfaith marriages ARE on the upswing.

I'm a wedding coordinator, and we actually learned that interfaith marriages amongst NON-fundamentalist sects (Orthodox anything is out...) and religions are completely okay. In fact, most churches of all faiths have accepted to the point of having double faith ceremonies (with priests and reverends, rabbis and priests...etc.).

There is ALWAYS an exception to the rules. There will always be a small church, community, etc. or a VERY traditional church that doesn't accept these marriages. It's sad, but normally, they have more people to choose from to marry!

Other groups realize though that forbidding their people to marry actually causes more trouble than it's worth. They can rebel against the church, they can bring negative attention, or they can completely leave the church all together. They don't want to lose any member of their congregation, so they are now welcoming others.

I say, bring it on! And I'm an ATHEIST!

Answer 5

Somewhere in the bible it says to not marry outside of your tribe. But there are several verses that talks about being married to someone outside of your faith. It's hard because the two believes in totally different ideas. My mom is catholic and my dad is southern baptist and they fought all the time about what I will be.Every other Sunday, i went to a different church-it was confusing and at times miserable. I did choose catholicism in the end, but not before practicing witchcraft and not believing in God--I think I did this because I grew up in a household where God was making the family miserable. However, this was a good lesson for me to realize to marry a catholic, which I did, and I have a happy family now!

Answer 6

It is accepted-It is not denied-for Legal purposes, the civil code prescribes certain rituals as per individuaal religion as "legal" or "illegal"--If a marriage is properly registered with the Registrar of Marrriages -even marriage between two different religious partners is accepted--Well the reservations the parents or their relatives have--onecan not help-may be , one day inter-religious marriages may become the order.

Answer 7

i don't care if people have inter faith marriages, the basic concept that most people are concerned about is the bible teaching of a house divided cannot stand. alot of people see that the differences will eventually become an irreconcilable difference leading to a broken marriage and possibly divorce, it is possible but marriage is a commitment both should enter into whole hearted and ride out the tough and good times.

Answer 8

If someone is truely grounded in their faith, it is hard to have a partner that has different beliefs. They lead their life by their faith, and it guides them through decision making, hard times, etc. I think that many couple want it to work so badly that they push their own beliefs to the side and concentrate on just being married.

Answer 9

The Christian reason is simple:

St. Paul said to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

As a pastor, I refuse to marry people who are not both Baptized and practicing Christians. I am forbidden from doing so.
