There's absolutely nothing wrong with marrying someone with different beliefs than you. If two people really love each other, then difference in religion shouldn't matter. True love does not have boundaries or limits.

Just be careful! The only reason being, when and or if kids come into the picture and depending how serious of a religious person your marrying, it throws a monkey in your wrench! If your catholic and the person your marrying is, lets say, a devil worshiper? You may have some problems come Halloween when your mate wants to take the kids out under the full moon and drink goats blood. I know, I know that is a bit extreme. But when you really think about it, there is no boundaries when it comes to love, but there is definitely an electric fence when it comes to mixed religions and marriage. All I'm saying is to be careful and make sure you know what your getting into....

If one of you is a born again christian then yes this is a problem. The bible makes it very clear that a man and wife should not be un-equally yoked. Meaning they should have the same religion and beliefs. Especially if there are going to be children brought into a marriage. I guess if neither one of you are very religious you won't care, but then why would you be asking this question!

It would be okay only under two conditions: (1) children weren't involved, and (2) both people respected the fact that their religions differed.

Depends on the religions and how serious the parties involved are about their religion. I would say its easier to stay within the same array of faith but throwing an atheist together with a hardcore catholic thats asking for trouble.

If both partners discuss how they will be dealing with the reigions of their families, as well as how children (if any come along in the marriage) will be brought up. If they can tolerate the differences in relgions and SHARE those differences with each other it is fine. However EVERYTHING must be discussed long before the wedding, differences in relgions can cause a marriage to break down and end unless everything is clear as to how things are going to be worked out. If there are any doubts at all I don't recommend marriage.

Well let me give an example, the guy I like and I believe in the same things but we're in differen denominations. I'm not bound to a denomination he is a bit more than I but that wouldnt stop us from being together.

Absolutely. As long as both people respect the other's faith, there should be no problem.
Look at it this way. The couple would be able to honor and celebrate TWICE the amount of religious holidays.
It sounds fun, if you ask me.
Just as long as no one insists that the other give up any religious holidays, it should work out just fine.

Yes. Religion is a personal choice.

Sure, there's nothing wrong with it. It is generally recommended, though, to marry someone with similar values, morals, and beliefs as you have. It would make living together so much more bareable.
