Dating/marrying outside your religion

[aephi alum]

There was an interesting segment this morning on one of the radio stations I listen to. Someone emailed in looking for relationship advice. She and her boyfriend had been dating for about 5 years, and they were thinking about marriage... problem: she's Catholic, he's not and doesn't want to convert, and she's having trouble with the idea of intermarriage.

This led to some interesting conversation, people calling in, etc. with varying opinions... people who had no problem dating/marrying outside their faith, people who'd marry outside their religion as long as the kids were raised in their own faith, people who would date outside their religion but break it off if it became serious unless the other person wanted to convert, people who would only date within their own religion.

So where do you stand?
