		Paul of Tarsus is often interpreted as forbidding the interreligious marriage of Christians in the sixth chapter of 2 Corinthians.

		The special circumstances of interreligious marriages may dictate that the marriage be celebrated in the church of the non-Catholic spouse.

	Grant Abstract
		It examines interreligious marriage not only through a religious lens, but an interdisciplinary one incorporating research from relevant fields including sociology, psychology, and law.
		Further, this study examines contemporary interreligious marriages that have had to negotiate religious, cultural, and social differences, that is, people’s stories.
		The study indicates that increasingly Christians enter interreligious marriages that require some accommodation, religiously, culturally, and socially and provides the groundwork for an informed and nuanced theological understanding of interreligious marriage in the American cultural context.

		Among other findings, the data revealed only one in five respondents required that their future spouse be of the same religion; females were more likely than males to have this requirement, and females felt more pressure than males from their parents to marry a person of the same religious faith.

		Those contemplating marriage should take into consideration the feelings of their families, and the impact their decisions will have on those around them and on their progeny within the framework of the society.

		They say that marriage is intended for reproduction, but they don't explain why we sanction the infertile, the elderly and the intentionally childless to marry anyway.
		As they have increased their power and wealth over just the last 5 years, more and more will stop hiding their true agenda and become openly opposed to interacial and interreligious marriage, coed schools, women's equality, consensual private adult sex acts and---most of all---the questioning of all authority.
		This whole 'gay marriage' farce has been staged for the numb-nuts on the religious right who take offense when others don't act according to their beliefs.

		Orthodox Christians who decide to enter an interreligious marriage (a) will be unable to wed in the Orthodox Church, and (b) lose their sacramental privileges.
		In light of the growing numbers of interreligious marriages that Orthodox faithful are entering, some Orthodox theologians have called for a reexamination of the Church's position regarding this issue.
		However, if the numbers of interreligious marriages continue to grow, I suspect this issue will command more of the Church's attention in the future.

	Who Should a Christian Marry?
		She shall also remove the clothes of her captivity and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and mother a full month; and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.
		Scripture records that the patriarch Abraham oversaw the provision of a wife for his son, Isaac, who was already 40 years old at the time of his marriage. In turn, Isaac instructed Jacob to “take a wife from the daughters of” a particular individual.
		The marriage of any unbaptized individual(s) can never be ideal. The fruits of God’s Holy Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (See Galatians 5:22-23) — are essential elements of a Christian marriage.
