It depends how you accept him/her because I myself marrying a man with not the same religion, but were happy together. Mybe acceptance is the best way how you deal to hem/her. And many Filipina also marrying different culture but they are happy living with one house. I think its our own way how to accept.

Sheesh, this is hard. I would say marrying somebody of a different faith would be harder because even if you are of different cultures you would still have the same base as the other person. Although, in reality most religions teach the same common values.
I married somebody of a different culture. My parents did the same....and my grandparents on one side were of the same culture but one member grew up in America most of their life so....it was difficult.
I am happy but I think this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life (marrying somebody from a different culture), but for some reason I always knew I would probably end up doing just that.
GOOD QUESTION
edit: although i can appreciate the answer below I must disagree. I do NOT believe one person must give up their culture for the other person. I think there can be a blending of cultures. I also like to think that in a Muslim marriage ISLAM becomes the culture. What is against Islam is not part of the marriage no matter what culture it comes from. And what does not go against Islam is part of the marriage no matter what culture it comes from.

I think that depends on ones' perception. For some people, dealing with the cultural difference would be a challenge; for others, the difference in religious beliefs would be harder.
For me, although I don't follow conventional religion, but choose to take a more spiritual path, the difference in religious beliefs would be much more of a challenge. Because I believe in God, I could never marry an atheist. There would just be too much of a difference in beliefs.

Well I married my husband and we both have the same religion thankfully which is Islam. I think it's harder to marry someone with a different culture because that means one of you has to give up the culture you grew up with for the others culture and learn to live by that different culture. My husband is from Saudi Arabia and he has an entire different culture then that in the United States of America but I have gladly given up the USA culture as I don't like a lot of things to do with my culture and am trying to get to learn more about his culture since we will be going home in one year hopefully and living in his home country for the rest of our lives. His country is patriarchal.

Speaking from experience - it can be quite difficult. My ex was from England and I'm in the USA. I made it clear that I had no plans to uproot to England and wouldn't be offended if he felt the same.
Well as you can tell, we were divorced.....culture shock I think (kid shock too but that's another story)
I don't think it was a religious thing - neither one of us were practicing as we should be.
I think it was the lifestyle.....to others it may have not seemed like a big deal but if your in a country that isn't home and dealing with customs and tradition different than you own - I think it could be quite difficult to accept......no matter how deep the love between the two can be.

I would say faith, because core practices and values are such a part of a person's faith/belief, and as we know, faiths are so different. One believes in God, one in Allah, one in Buddah. One doesn't believe in holidays or smoking, the other doesn't have issues with it.. the list goes on and on.
cultural differences can be problematic but can be overcome with patience, an open mind and a sense of humor..
I guess any differences can be overcome with those things, but, I think faith differences would be more difficult to handle than cultural.

Both are equally hard. Because true religion is a way of life and that is what culture is. But if I had to choose I would say religion because for some reason ppl seem to be more tolerant of other cultures but savage when it comes to religion. I grew up in a home with a Mormon mother and a....well nothing father. It was WAY hard on them and on my sis and I.

It's harder when the couple have different faiths, especially if one of them tries to force a conversion on the other. While a couple from different cultures can have a fun marriage, sharing and enjoying each others differences.

If two people of different faiths and culture marry, it will definitely be a little difficult but that doesn't mean that it would be impossible. I think that if both people negotiate and compromise then they can get over an obstacle and if they are stubborn, then these obstacles will be hard to overcome.

My observations in existence have desperate that it particularly is damaging judgment for all of us to marry all of us else whose faith and faith are surprisingly diverse than their very own. Marriage is a puzzling conflict whilst 2 particularly everyone seems to be of the comparable way of existence and spirituality. diverse religions and non secular paradigms throw in a monkey wrench this is exceptionally much consistently insurmountable. It has no longer something to do with incorrect or top, or what God accepts as incorrect. that's in basic terms the way human beings artwork. thank you for asking, neighbor.
