I can't imagine it's as much an issue as people are making it,

I brought up scenarios I *did* see personally - so mine were not just speculation...
Those things were almost never considered when first forging relationships...

Well, this topic has gone off the deep-end.

How so?? the OP asked what problems *could* arise...

Quote:

now the question is, have any of you ever seen such a relationship such as mine where it worked out? if so, what happened? did it work out or did it fail?

I mean - sure there *are* successful relationships such as CD's.... but their success is not so advertised as the problematic ones are - so they are difficult to track.

To CD's, honestly, I wouldn't think about it as much as some of these guys would have you, and I certainly wouldn't jump to broad conclusions like some are. I can't imagine it's as much an issue as people are making it, assuming she's not churning butter on your porch, wearing a bonnet, and saying Dinosaurs never existed.

There is nothing wrong with having religion, or not having it, as long as it makes you happy and answers your questions, I think. If it becomes a problem with you and your new girlfriend, you'll know it, and know when it's time to get out.

Simple answers are sometimes the best answers

. Thanks Vikingod.

soo - you think what I posted was non-sense? could never happen to you type stuff?

then why ask?

ahhh - I get it - you just wanted confirmation that you went making a mistake.... (thats called 'having sunshine blown up your ass' - I refuse to do that if it contradicts reality as I see it)

OK - but you could never say I didn't try to warn ya....

Good luck either way - couples nowadays need all they can get regardless of circumstances.... just remember - an ounce of preparation is worth 10 tons of hope.

This is interesting...
Divorce rates among inter-faith marriages

Quote:

Irresolvable conflicts often occur in intra-faith marriages as well. Although both spouses follow the same religion and revere the same religious text, their two denominations generally have different interpretations of important passages.

its not all bad of course...

One problem with these studies is that they tend to lump all "mixed" marriages together, and report on the overall results.
