Stick to your beliefs. If your spouse can't accept that you have no business being married to them.

I say never, unless you are talking about some speciffic situation. If one should convert, it should be for the sake of ownself. Why would anyone consider own religious background less worthy or with less ancestral weigh?
I do bless the conversion from a less mature religion into higher, despite being married or not. And I think that some atheists carry the bennefit of the doubt.

Marriage is to one for the other despite superficial differences. The name a religion goes by is only of use for relating it to others in brief. A life lived for the sake and love of God, and fellow humans, and creatures is the true name of religion in this world, and the next.
If a different name has more perfect reflection of what is the best way to live that loving, and just, life, and thus it teaches you the true name of religion, is good for you, but if only for superficial appearance, to be "in name only", it is of no use, perhaps even harmful if turned into bitterness.
Show forth the up-most respect and love, learn each other well, growing more united, for this is the way of marriage, but to be more disaffected, and disrespectful is the way toward divorce, and it not of God, for God is not divided, but is so perfect as to have the term "united" fall far short of His harmonious, limitless, loving perfection, of which all are part of together, and marriage, is just one sign of.

No, because when the marriage is broken, the convert will become an apostate.

"Yes": NO - it is never better to convert for the sake of the other!
This is because you are not being spiritually, honest with God, your signicant other nor yourself !

No! For marriage to be successful, there must be mutual respect for differences, as well as the joy of shared beliefs...

No because religion is what you believe, and pretending to believe in something you don't is living a lie.

Convert to what? To Jesus Christ?

Cheating, deception and hypocracy.
However, you can thotoughly study religion of your future spouse and accept his/her religion by heart.

Yeah it's ok if one of you doesn't mind burning in hell for being wrong. Good luck with that.
