Islam allows us to marry Christian, Jewish and Muslim women. There are many success stories of cross faith marraiges. We Pakistanis are specially more interested to
marry a white girl.
But marraige is a serious issue and is far above natural attraction between the two sexes. Therefore, certain issues
like religion of offshoots, country of settlement and responsibility of sustenance etc should be discussed and amicably resolved before hand.

I agree with all the others, love isn't something that God Himself predetermines. He gave us free will. We love who we love because that is what makes us happy. God doesn't want us to love Him with conditions. We must chose to love who we love. Whatever makes us happy is what makes Him happy. Even though it states in the Bible that we must choose between Good and Evil, love doesn't really have a part in either, because of the fact that God loves Lucifer. Lucifer is Satan, so there is no boundaries between love. So yes, I do believe that people don't have to beloved in God to get married. God said that we don't have to love him, just to follow his teachings of life.

Definitely not. The Apostle Paul was quite clear that the two should not be unequally yoked. A believer will antagonize a non believer more often than lead them to belief. Being one flesh with someone who belongs to another is not a good mix.
Hope that helps.

I think if someone doesn't know how to spell "believe" then they shouldn't be allowed to get married.
Otherwise, it depends on the people involved - are they mature enought to respect each others' beliefs and not try to change each other? Then sure! If they're waiting for after the wedding to give their testimony, then NO.

No. It's a personal choice, and should not be limited by law.
However, it's a recipe for potential disaster. The person who believes more will have their faith "watered down" by the person who believes less.
I've come across couples who had a nervous breakdown over it, typically about 10 years into the marriage.

Any differences resulting in conflict between the members of a couple make that relationship more difficult. How hard are you willing to make your life?

I think it might be in your interest to realize that marriage is a concept that does not lie exclusively within the province of religion.

God loves us all unconditionally. We should marry whomever will help us live a more abundant life.
peace
