Probably not. However, I happened to fall in love with someone outside my religion, and I'm not going to throw away a very long, loving relationship just because we happen to be of different beliefs. We have made it work out for years by respecting each other's spirituality.

No, there are plenty of others. I'm not promoting it, but many issues will simply not have to be dealt with if one just marries someone who has the same beliefs. When people of different beliefs get married, there is almost always that silent tension between the families deep down inside. Sometimes they aren't silent. Many things will be a lot easier if one just married someone of the same religion. There's also the issue of what religion the children will be. I wouldn't like to be responsible for raising a child to be a religion that is not mine, and then get punished for it in the hereafter. If anything, I would educate them about both religions. But overall, marrying someone of the same religion is just easier, more convenient, and generally works out better. Good luck!

The Bible warns us not to be yoked unequally with non-believers.
Two consenting adults can make a relationship work, even if they don't belong to the same religion, denomination, or sect. However differences in beliefs can add tension and stress - especially after children enter into the picture.

No. Alot of people don't marry outside of their religion, It does not mean your racist or cloed minded ALL of the time although someimes this is the case, it could just mean that it would be asier on you you and that you truly are devoted to your religion and your belefs. No shame in it.

I will not marry outside my religion and personally speaking I do not believe any one should, because it cause so much problems.

If I fell in love with someone, I wouldn't throw it away because we didn't agree on religions. We would have to agree that we disagree and leave it be.
Blessed Be

No, you are not the only one. But everything depends upon your assessment of the other person's commitment to that religion.

I didn't marry until I was 45. I would not have married anyone who was not Pagan. Since this is what shapes and gives value to my life, I couldn't imagine being with anyone who did not understand it or believe it as I do. To me, religion is the core of who you are and I could not be with anyone who did not share my deepest convictions.

no, a large majority of mormons would never marry outside their religion.

Probably not. But I feel sorry for you for limiting yourself like that.
