I know I heard this too. When I first dated a Muslim guy. I was barely dating him two weeks and I got so much flack from friends and family. He wasn't even trying to convert me. He actually never spoke about his religion he didn't even celebrate the holy days at all. But I kept on hearing you need to be evenly yoked..blah, blah..everyone kept on asking me if I was going to become Muslim. My one Christian friend (lets say she is a non friend now) would call me about 6 times on my cell phone when I was out with him. And she would blast me for being out with him. Leaving all kinds of messages. It was insane. I had no intentions of changing my faith. Finally, this guy broke up with me - his comment was "maybe they would be happy if you dated a crack head" and that he didn't want me to resent him for having caused a riff between me and my family and friends. I do know a Muslim woman who married a Catholic and they are still together now - 30 years later. I think it depends on the maturity level of the two people. (and apparently the friends and family around them!) Follow your heart don't listen to anyone.

A while ago I had this same question. But after studying the Bible, I realized that this could never be the case for a number of reasons, the main one being that even if someone read the old prophecies and decided to try to fulfill them they couldn't. They're completely out of human control. An ordinary person simply cannot raise someone from the dead, or decide where and when and how He is born, or resurrect himself from the dead. Only the Son of God could fulfill those prophecies! 2 Peter 1:20-22 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

I think it could work but think it is very hard to stay married these days. That is another thing that you would have that could put a wedge in the marriage. It is a wonderful think when two people can have the same beliefs and walk together in harmony. I know that that does not mean that they to could still separate. The less you have to deal with in a marriage the happier you will find your life to be. Peace and God bless

How can they "Marry"?
A marriage, by definition, indicates a union in mind and spirit.
If they are not united in spirit or mind they are doomed to fail. They weren't truly "MARRIED" in the first place!
That isn't a self fulfilling prophecy, it wasn't even a marriage.

It's false propriety of ethical and moral superiority and a calculated effort to avoid "dilution" and the influx of ideas contrary to doctrine.
Doctrine and dogma are everything, you know!

I doubt that they have any good studies to show this. If both people were really religeos it probably would.

No, because I won't marry anybody who doesn't share my beliefs.
