It can be very difficult and if you are serious about your faith, is something to take into consideration. At first, it may seem like a minor detail, but as you grow together, you will find that it affects more than you may know . Because you are talking about marriage, it's important to remember that whoever it is you will be marrying is not necessarily going to be on the same page with you when it comes to raising children, deciding on baptism, etc. It may affect the kinds of schools that you choose to send them to, and also the people that you let be in your environment. The Word of God tells us explicitly that this is something to be leary of, and to basically avoid. It's because He knows what's good for us and is trying to give us the wisdom to avoid situations which become toxic.

Never Been Married. But Its Not Dangerous As Such

Since the Bible says not to do it, there must be a reason. I'm sure it would be pretty sad and discouraging for you to have to go to church alone. To have the one you love not agree with your beliefs. Sometimes however, God has other plans and will save them through you. I wouldn't count on it though. Have you ever heard that stat about children going to church with a mom and a dad will most likely continue when they are grown. Children who go with a dad have a little lower percentage and just a mom, an even lower chance of going to church when they're grown. Something to think and pray about. Good luck.

Interfaith couples make their marriages work every day. All it takes is two people willing to act like adults, love, mutual respect, patience, and a willingness to reasonably compromise on occasion.
"Be ye not unequally yoked" is one of the most gutless things written in Christian scripture.

No danger. And if you are to believe it is true, then that goes against the natural biological reproduction as human beings and not only that, but its sheer bigotry. A relationship is based on love and cooperation no matter what beliefs you have.

it depends on how seriously you take your commitment to pass your culture onto your children. some people couldn't care less about their culture and it would not bother them to dilute it. for some cultures which are dying out, this problem is even more serious.
i,personally, would never marry a non-jew, because to me, passing on my culture to my future kids is very important to me, just as important and perhaps even more important than who i get married to.
its sort of like the way some people have to sacrifice their true love because their true love doesn't want kids. to put it simply, i would sacrifice my true love if he didn't want jewish kids.

To quote John McEnroe
"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS"
I'm don't mean to be insulting but this has to be one of the dumbest questions I have ever seen on this site.
Please tell me you're joking

That would all depend upon the strength of your faith.
