There's alot of people that disagree with it but I feel like if you love each other then why is it such a big deal?

I have no problem with inter-faith marriages. However, I do think that value systems should be worked out before marriage and before having kids. For example; if you choose to enter into an inter-faith marriage, I think it's only fair that you come to a mutual agreement about what values to teach the children, what services to attend, which religion to teach them, what holidays to celebrate, etc. This, I feel, should be done before the marriage, but definitely before a pregnancy!

if you don't ask your husband to change his religion, if you respect it, and if he does the same for you, there's no problem. My feeling is that all can be nice like that. Troubles will appear only if you want your partner to change...

NO problem. Religion shouldn't be the center of your marriage as long as love, trust and respect is there your marriage will surely succeed. I know 2 people w/ the same situation they have 4 kids and still together for 27 years now.

Well, first being in Love, is a Big factor. You did just admit on here, that you love him. I am a Christian, and feel 2 people should be equally yoked if one of you is a Christian, but sometimes True Love needs to play a factor in this as well. If the two of you are able to Relate to one another, and share in things this is a Plus. The issue might come when you have kids. What does your Pastor tend to think, or family? If there are any doubts or issues, always Remember Prayer helps and how you truly feel is what counts over what others think.

Hey, you both still believe in the same god and that god exists. Christ to me is the son of god, but of course all men are the sons of god. As long as religion doesn't interfer with your love for one another and you are understanding and respectful of each others beliefs, then it will be okay.

I think that is alright, if you guys can deal with each of the differences in christian and Jewish beliefs. I married an apostolic man and I am christian and at first it was really hard to deal with it but in time he came around to deciding what was right for him. Apostolic are very very very strict pentacostals. So it was hard at first but you just got to work it out with the inlaws as well.

If it works for you, then what anyone else thinks does not matter. You are free to love and marry whoever you choose. If you want my personal opinion, I think it's great you have found someone you love, regardless of background/beliefs. A friend of mine when I was a kid had a Christian mother and a Jewish father. They seemed to do just fine.

I'm with you. I'm white and I'm married to a black man so that seems to rub a lot of people the wrong way. Who really cares what religion, color, nationality, or whatever they are? If you really love them you will find a way to work through your differences and if the people objecting really love you they will learn to deal with it. :) Keep your head up!

If you both respect the other's religion, I say more power to you. I have friends like that who have great marriages because of respect for their mate and their religion.

I would have to agree with you. If you are in love then it shouldn't matter what religion, race, etc.... you are. Your family and friends should be supportive of you too. I think it is becoming more and more acceptable to marry outside or your religion or race. It is a slow acceptance, but it is moving in that direction.
