No christians shouldn't marry none christians. The bible says not to be unequaly yoked together. I believe their is a good reason for this. It can work two ways. The christian can be pursuaded to walk away from God or the non-christian will become a christian. It isn't always that black and white though.

I would say no it's not a good idea. I just got out of a relationship where he wasn't a Christian and it was the hardest thing. We always got in arguments and even though we both agreed to disagree, things would always creep up. I know many Christians who have married outside of the Church and they always tell me to not make the same mistake. Sure they are happy on the surface, but deep down it's not a fulfilled relationship. And then think about your kids. If you both don't have the same solid, consistent faith, you're children will be confused and will most likely decide not to go to church. I know it's slim pickins once you rule out the non-christians, but it's worth the wait to have someone who can help you get to heaven.

Simple answer is no... but like has already said its not black and white and there are exceptions. I'm also sure that people have been brought to know the Lord through their partners. On the whole i would say no, it makes it too hard having such different beliefs and eventually its likely it would lead you away from God. I personally would never marry a non-christian.
