It is really necessary to marry someone with the same religion as yours. You are being bonded with the same spritual outlook, moral learnings, et al.

Well it doesn't matter if both of you could respect each others religion. If there's no conflict in that way you practice your belief and hers I think then there's should not be anything that should stopped you having that relationship.

There's lot of people having married with different religion and marriage is successful but in the long run they're together in 1 religion. Some are not become successful also due to different beliefs. There are also people married with the same religion but their marriage was not successful. Many are also successful. Oooops, it's kind a mind twisting huh! Well my opinion is, there is a big advantage if you are in the same religion because you can understand each other spiritually because of your same belief. But I would suggest to have a good and successful marriage is to know more deeper (background) your partner to be so that you will understand him/her very well when the time you are one already. Because you will understand his/her weaknesses and strengths. Through background investigation you can determine yourself if you can stand his/her attitude and you can decide if you need to continue the relationship or if you really love him/her at least you know where to adjust yourself. Happy myloting. :)

I don't quite agree with marriage with different religions and beliefs. One of my friend is going out with a man from a different religion with her. There are lots of problems between them. They don't think the same way. Even though they love each other and they don't want to give up. But my friend told me that she was not sure how long they would go. And some times she even was not sure whether her boyfriend still loved her. I bless them but I am not very optimism about their love.

I don't think it has to be the same religion. It all depends on how strong your beliefs are, and how strong your S.O.'s beliefs are in their religion. But if both of you are willing to compromise, then I don't see any problems with this. I can't point to many examples, but that's just because I don't often go to weddings, haha.
