I wouldn't marry someone who has a 'faith'.
In hindsight, it's funny to see all the uptight jesus freaks thumbsdown me.

Hmm, don't really think so. I am an atheist and my love [we live together, not married] is an agnostic, so there's no problem there. We met and fell in love before we knew each other's religious orientation, just goes to show... :)
Don't think I'll ever marry someone of faith. It will cause too many clashes and problems as I will never be willing to be converted or adopted into their faith, nor am I willing to raise my child [if I have any] in a particular faith. I also am not willing to get married in any kind of church, mosque, temple, etc.
Religious compatability is fairly important in any relationship, especially when there's children involved. Unless the people involved can come to some sort of understanding, a union of two very different faiths can cause immense problems. And don't forget the families!....

I would marry someone who had been brought up in a different faith, but I wouldn't marry someone who practised a different faith, as I am not religious and don't think I would have anything in common with someone who was - it is just one of those things that I really have no interest in at all - and if it was important to someone, I don't think I would be able to understand where they were coming from.

I have been Married 3 times .
Christian / Buddhist / Christian .
I never considered Faith to be a boundary to marriage.
A few interesting things happened while being married to the Christians . At the end of the marriage to my 1st wife , 6 years into the marriage . She stated that these days she only made love with me because it said so in the Bible ( 1 Cor Chap 7 , I think )
I was horrified to hear this , however it did not matter too much since she committed adultery within a few months and I divorced her.
During the divorce of my 2nd Christian wife ( my 3rd wife) , two of her Christian friends purgered themselves in court to make me look bad . NB: This marriage was never consummated.
Just for the record I divorced the Buddhist wife because she starved me of sex for the last 4 years of our 8 year marriage ! ! ! LOL
Even despite these set backs , if I was in Love , I would not hesitate to marry a person of Faith again .

Yes, I am a Pagan Spiritualist, dedicated to Isis and following the Ancient Egyptian path. My other half has been raised as a Christian. I pray every morning, afternoon and evening, Dave only 'prays' in the sense of '' Oh God, let the b----y car pass its MOT first time''. I attend an Independant Spiritualist Church one evening each week, Dave attends his Church whenever someone is married, christened or buried. I have tried to encourage him to be more religious and his answer is always the same, '' Why, religion causes too many arguements between people who all want peace and are thrown into wars by their governments, to defend their religion?'' I guess he has a point and when it comes to our religious beliefs we agree to disagree and get on with our lives together, the way we all should. Blesse'd be xx

I'm not sure I don't believe in Religion but do Believe in God
there fore it maybe a little difficult for me to do marry someone who has a religion!
Of course there is also the point that I definitely wouldn't want to get married anyhow as I don't believe in religion at all I can't pick the bit I like, like getting married in one of their churches or even commit a ceremony that religion tells us we must do!

Probably, but thats because Ive just joined Osama bin Lorry's mermaid worshipping religion, and there are only a few of us so far, making pretty much everyone from a different faith to me

I would, as long as the religon wasn't dominant and wouldn't require me to change mine. Now, I'm not being racist, but i would have a problem with marrying a Muslim person for example, because the 2 religions basically don't work together. Maybe I would marry a Muslim if he was okay with me being Catholic. But then again there would be a problem with the children's religion(s)

Depends what belief system they were, and how much of a factor in their life it was. I would happily marry an Atheist or a liberal Christian(provided they weren't going to try and save me). To be honest if religion was going to be a problem in our relationship I would hopefully know before it got as far as marriage.

I have been married for 22 years to my Mr B. And I think you have to have basic agreement. If I had married a none Christian I think there would be a chasm in our relationship that could not be crossed. I'm not sure you could be your self with someone who didn't understand.

No, because I figured in marriage you fight over near everthing from inlaws to sex; I didn't want to add anymore ammunition to the mix. So I just waited until I found someone of my own faith and he was worth the wait.
