No. Jesus said "He who is not against us is for us". (Luke 9:50).
2 Corinthians 6:14 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Here, in the United States the divorce rate is above 50%; so it is difficult to maintain a marriage in the first place without other factors involved that cause divisions.

There are four major problems that married couples are in danger of divorcing over.
Money- Make sure that you and your prospective mate are agreed on the type of lifestyle that each expects. Otherwise, the marriage is headed for big trouble.
Sex- Make sure that you and your prospective mate are "sexually compatible"... This does not mean sex before marriage. A "man of the world" that marries a virgin.. Is a recipe for trouble.
Religion- Religious compatibility is very important. An "unequal yoke" spiritually can be disastrous to a marriage a lead to many problems down the road.
Bonus tip: Parental Approval- Many marriages are doomed from the start because the parents have not given their blessing on the marriage.

Absolutly. My cutting-edge boyfriend is Chrstian, and that i'm Wiccan, and we get alongside in basic terms superb. Marriage is relatively a topic remember we've stated on some events, and we the two experience that is a few thing we'd choose for to pass by using with sooner or later. individually, i don't think of faith ought to remember. in case you relatively love somebody then you definately will discover the thank you to make it artwork. admire and tolerance for an extra's ideals is the foremost to having a helpful dating while the different man or woman's faith is diverse than your man or woman. Closed-mindedness and intolerance, although, is a recipe of disaster once you throw non secular ideals into the mixture.

No. In marriage you need to be united. If your beliefs are in direct conflict, then how is unity possible.
Trust me on this- nothing is more miserable than being married to someone who you can't share everything with, including your deepest beliefs and fears.

Peace.....based on my own personal experience - no. I do know people who have tried this out, and while their marriage can last, there are many events, celebrations and gatherings that one spouse will not attend and is sitting at home. This can be hard on the one attending who is doing it alone. Many other feelings and emotions can come out of this situation and of course there is the issue of what to do with the children. There can be enough probs in life and it is a better start to have a faith in common. Not to say it can't work out, but to say, "proceed with caution"....."orthros"

A couple should learn about each other in detail before deciding to marry one another. If there is going to be a conflict about beliefs, it would be foolish to marry that person because there would be spiritual warfare going on within the marriage.

No !
"Be not unequally yoked with an unbeliever, for what fellowship have righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness ? And what concord has Christ with Belial ?Or what part has he that believe with an infidel ? And what agreement has the Temple of God with Idols ?" II Corinthians 6:14 - 16

You should not let religious beliefs get into the way of someone you love. Accept each other's beliefs and be happy together. Who knows, maybe you'll both convert - or maybe one will find something that makes more sense.

It depends. I would marry someone agnostic but not atheist. Also, if we could agree to disagree about it and be respectful, then probably. If they ever put down my faith or tried to manipulate me to believe something else, then no way! My brother is agnostic but married a Christian. Since my brother has no strong feelings one way or the other about religion, they get along just fine. I could NOT be with an extremist of any kind, even an extreme Christian. Those in your face people drive me nuts!

Nope. My religion determines my lifestyle and most of my daily activities. My thoughts are focused on God, all day, everyday. I don't think there would be much common ground if I were to marry someone who practiced a different religion.
Peace,
