It is very hard. my husband and I have been together for 15 years he is Catholic and I am Mormon. one of you have to compromise to be married in whatever church. I chose to be married with him in his families church Catholic. now that we have 3 kids. they go to both primary and young womens at my church at the LDS. and have Catechism. and they have been baptized both Mormon and Catholic and have there 1st communion. when they are old enough they will choose what is right for them. all we can do is give them the best of both worlds. even thou it is very hard at times.some how in this disfunctional world we make it work. I don't think to much religion is a problem in todays world.Good Luck and may God Bless

It depends what the religions are.If one religion is peaceful and the other violent then no the relationship will not be successful.I have a friend who is married to a catholic and he is non-denomination meaning he doesn't believe in religion but practices a meaningful personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ and their marriage is still intact.It is a little sad because she doesn't go to church with him and will never understand why he doesn't belong to a religion in general.But as long as there is mutual respect for one another I think it can work out as long as one isn't Christian and the other Muslim it should be OK.

Yes! I've been married to someone of a different religion for over 6 years. We celebrate all holidays. My son and my unborn will follow the tradition and be considered my religion (we decided this before we were married)

Yes, as long as both can respect the other's beliefs. They will also have to be willing to compromise on certain issues, such as if they have a wedding ceremony, or decide to have children. It won't work out if one or both partners wants to convert the other, belittles the other's beliefs, or refuses to be equal and fair in regards to anything that might involve religion. If you love someone, you respect them as a person, and part of what makes them who they are is their religious beliefs.

my uncle married someone from a different religion than his own, and they'll be married 17 years on the 16th of this month. She did convert to his religion but that wasn't very long ago..about 4 years ago or so. They have one child.
so to answer your question, Yes.

Yup, if they are both willing to sincerely respect each other's religions and practices, and work to find compromises to the inevitable difficulties. I know many couples who do.

It depends on their mutual respect for each other and the considerations of the faiths.
i am a Baha'i and my wife is a neo-pagan spiritualist
