Would they have to belong to your specific group or ... would you be willing to marry someone who's beliefs vary a little bit ?

For example, I am Catholic. I probably would marry a Catholic or a Protestant, But I wouldn't go farther that Protestant. It is just too different. Just think, we would share totally different traditions and beliefs, and we would have many debates and our child would have to be my religion or the guy's religion, it woul just be too hard.

Faith is something a personal choice, if we mix it with our relationship, it may not give you happiness. Every human beings is blessed with love n passion and the attraction between Male n female comes naturally n faith should not be an obstrucle in that. The core of a good relationship is mutual understanding and love in between. God doesnt forbid individuals from marrying each other just because their faith is different. If both the men n women agreed to learn, understand n respect each other, then the it wont be a problem at all.. I can marry any gal who can understand and love me sincerely, I dont mind what faith is her? but definitely I will teach my faith to her and will learn her faith, and I think that makes sense in a good relationship.

I'd be willing to marry someone whose beliefs vary or are different than mine. If I love him, it doesn't matter what he believes (unless he's a Satanist...that would be pushing my limits a bit too much LOL). As long as he doesn't force his beliefs on me, sure.

(Canada) I read an article yesterday that said that people are pairing up more now by education status. In the recent past, people paired up by faith groups, or if they believed the same things about religion. I'm glad things are changing for the better. It might be slow, but Rome didn't fall in one day either.

I wouldnt not marry someone of another faith. The bible tells us not to be joined with someone who is not the same faith as us. Not unequally yoked.
I am so blessed that the Lord has given me a good christian husband.

I'm Muslim. To me it is no issue to marry someone of another faith. I would ask that my spouse and I respect one another's faiths and not force them on each other. And for those who are bothered by mixed faith marriages, I say: mind your own business and live your own lives!

me and the mister are both atheist, and whilst i have friends and family of various religions....i'm not sure a marriage would work for me.
my opinions on religion are that strong i dont think i could truly get someone who believed in god. just one of those things....if it was two different religions then yes, just a different point of view and way of doing things, but believer and non believer is so opposed i couldnt do it.

Ideally, no. But considering the impracticalities of that small a dating pool: other heathen folkways are fine, non-JCI but with a level head and some spiritual sensibilities is okay.

My husband is an atheist, I was on the fence about Christianity at the time so I'm studying Buddhism. My first marriage: he was protestant and I was catholic.
