It all depends on the people. My husband and I are from two different countries, he is from Mexico and I am from here (USA) and our religions are similar enough that there isn't a huge problem. We have had different views occasionally on religion, as he is Mexican he grew up Catholic, but at least we both believe in God and Jesus. As far as culture differences, we try to keep in mind each others different back ground and have both been open-minded in learning about each others up-bringing. I know how things are in Mexico and how things were for him growing up there, and vice versa. That understanding helps us relate to one another when we don't know through experience. We have agreed to let our daughter know both cultures and religions. The biggest problem has come from other people when we discuss her baptism (which is going to be done in Mexico next time I go there). My mom believes we should wait till she is old enough to decide for herself, and my husband's cousin doesn't like my view of it being just a Mexican tradition rather than a huge religious thing. Taking them out of the equation, we both agreed she will be baptised in Mexico in his church and then again when she wants to bring God into her heart and is old enough to decide in my church. This may not work for some, but for my husband and I this is an example of how we compremise. As long as we both love each other, we are fine-and we are both in love as much as when we met. Like I said it all depends on the people. We know a couple that were identical to us, he was from here and she from Mexico and she barely spoke english as my husband barely did before but does speak great now, and they couldn't work it out and are in the process of getting a divorce.

Love has nothing to do with another country and religion, if you both love each other and want to marry, what does country or religion have to do with it?
You go by feelings, not by country and religion.

Amazing grammar.
No I would not get married to a person of another religion living in a different country because I tired it once and we were just to different and could not get over it.

Generally It's not a good idea, however it depends on many factors, for example:
what's the real purpose of this marriage? is it based on love or other issues like getting the permanent residency of a country, financial issues etc... are both of those people or one of them religious? how is the extent of differences between two cultures? and how much they know about the other side's culture?...and very important issue: are they able to speak fluently in a same language?

It's not a good idea. I've seen what conflicting religions can do to a family. One of my friendls has her father pressing her and forcing her to go to one church, when she's a proud member of her own church. Cultures are very often conflicting and religion as well. In a marriage you want to grow together and with so many differences you can only grow apart.

i'm upset to make certain lots racial profiling/stereo typing right here. there is "good and undesirable" human beings international. Marry who you want to-no count the place they're from. Love does not want a passport/u . s . a ./or earnings to exist in our hearts. If the marriage does not paintings out seem at it as an threat to check and strengthen out of your journey- quite than a racist reason.

Only if you want to move to the other country and change your religion.

Yes i am with a man now from a different country and moved here with him. We are too different on too many levels, where he is uptight i am laid back and vise versa. I thought it would work but i am beginning to have my doubts
