I live in a college town with a very diverse population. I'm an atheist, and I have fond memories of the Iranian college student I dated for about 6 months. He was a Muslim, and we got along beautifully. We stopped dating only because he graduated and returned to Tehran.

My friend, here is the difference: if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and you put Him first in your life, it is impossible to have a relationship that grows with someone who does not have the same relationship with Him.
I am a born again Christian. Once, I was very attracted to a Hindu man, but I knew it would not work, and I told him so and ended it.
Today, I have been with a man for almost 1 and a half years. He loves Jesus, but we have very different beliefs as far as how to serve Him. Our spirits clash and we do not talk about "Jesus things". As long as my boyfriend remains proud and rebellious, we will not continue our relationship.
So, the person you choose must a) share your beliefs and b) share them exactly.

Unfortunately yes......and its a horrible idea......relationships should be between 2 like minded people or it will be Hell for either party involved, and the religious debate with come into play a lot in serious discussions or arguments. Same politics, same goals, same religion or do not get married, do not have kids together and do not visit each others families period.

Yes.. She was (....) from France, she even came to my country and we spent sometime together.. our marriage was impossible because of some conditions.. our relation lasted for 6 years, she was 2 years older...
We never felt that religion was a barrier, but she was really astonished of how I used to treat her as she thought that Muslim men eat their women alive.. and she's more astonished when I told her that how women should be dealt with in my religion.
On May 2006 I recieved an e-mail from her saying she's been married, and ordering me not to marry ever because she still loves me and wants me to remain hers! That was funny and destruvctive.. she was Catholic and I'm Muslim, but she taught me that everything has a day to walk away, just like clouds.. even love.

I can't even imagine having to worry about what religion a person is. What a waste of time when everything else is so much more important.

Yes. And life went hell and back.
First time goes great, things look sweet, warm, passionate and so exciting... but as relationship grows, so do the problems...
Complicating we human beings are.... just a simple wish ends to a turmoil...

well just to answer your question, no and i dont think that it will happen in the future either. its not just because of the religion in a magnified sort of way but mainly because i've seen how my friends end up and boy i dont want to end up like them! distraught and helpless....oh well...lucky me lols!
God bless

When I met my husband I was a non-practicing Christian and he was (is) Muslim. Things have been fine but it is because we love, honor and respect each other. I am now studying Islam.

Yes. Poorly.
My personal rule is to never minister at a wedding for an "unequally yoked" couple.
CAN it work? Yes. But it is rare in my experience.

the concept of religion is not clear to u,its humanity and best way of living,it's eternal when one love thru the core of heart,and heart is the real source of every religion.
