Does inter religious marriages work out very well?

Is there's anyone out there who practices his/her religion effectively and married to a person who practices another religion? Please speak up and honestly let know if it works.Does inter religious marriages work out very well?excellent question. I think they have the same success rate as all marriages, but there are some issues that can arise. It tends to be tough on kids (not always, but from what i've seen with friends) because they become confused and lost. If you celebrate Christmas and Hannukka, if one wants to send the kids to catholic school and the other to a hebrew day school or muslim private school, synagogue or church type of thing. Some fundamental issues can arise for sure. This is why people tend to marry within their own culture, religion, nationality etc. It reduces issues like this by 1000 times.Does inter religious marriages work out very well?
I'm happily married to a believerDoes inter religious marriages work out very well?silly me and i always thought marriage is about love and understanding

We just dont discuss religion.Does inter religious marriages work out very well?
It depends on the degree of flexibility in both partners. Two fundamentalists will have problems, but two people with a more tolerant view of religion will have better luck.
my partner is Jehovah's Witness and I am an atheist...It works for us...He celebrates no holidays for his beliefs and most holidays are religion based so I don't celebrate those...Only thing I celebrate my birthday and he doesn't..but he still gets me something and I don't have to get him anything on his B-day(he wont accept the gift)!!!

BUT are relationship is great...but I think the similarities of not celebrating holidays helps..If either of us was traditional Christian it would be a conflict at these holidays because of different viewsDoes inter religious marriages work out very well?
I would think you get your share of those that work and those that don't, but if I would think it would be very hard to keep it together if there is division in the household over God
I think that it works just fine if both sides have open minds and respect each others beliefs. I am a wiccan and my husband ( been together for 10 years) is an Agnostic. We love each other and to us that is what matters.
Yes, it can. I'm Heathen/Asatru and he's Christian. I was raised Christian, but converted to Asatru. It's more spiritually fulfilling than any other religion I have been exposed to.



What is right religion-wise for one person may not be right for someone else. You just have to be open-minded and accept the what other persons beliefs are--you don't have to agree with them, just acknowledge their choices. Read about their beliefs, ask them questions. It can work if you do that, I believe. Another thing you have to do is agree to disagree. You have to if you want it to work, and my husband and I don't argue about it because we accept the difference in the other.



Hubby thinks my religion is odd, and I think his is despicable, and the only reasons we talk about it is when one or the other has a question or whenever we talk about what religion our daughter will be raised with. We agreed that she will be taught about other religions and philosophies (not just Asatru or Christianity) so she will be able to make her own choices in that regard when she is mature enough to do so.
My husband is an atheist and for the first 10 years of our relationship, I was Wiccan.



I'm now an atheist as well, but it has nothing to do with him and our relationship is exactly the same now as it was before.



He didn't understand my beliefs but he was respectful of my opinions regarding religion and I was respectful of his. We discussed our feelings about raising children and religion before we brought children into the marriage so that was already worked out - something I highly suggest. There were times we didn't agree on something related to religion, but there are all sorts of things we didn't (and still don't) agree on. It really was never an issue.
