In the long run, it will bring instability in the home. So why not avoid it in the first place?
Imagine confusing your kids with different doctrines?

Both Christians and Muslims have different religious doctrines, "two captains can't sail a ship". Marry someone with same values as you do, it's safer.

Religion has always bring means of segregation into our society, Telling us what to do and who not to do with.
Marriage is a Big example. The two most recognised religions in our society (Islam & Christianity) are fond of this. They tell us to love our Neighbours as our selves yet they go back to tell us not to marry outside our religion.
When you look at our society we have Co-existed with one another well, lived as neighbours, watched each other's back, helped one another when in crisis, had good times with one another. This has not happened because of our religion told us to, this has happened because of Humanity. All what happened that was listed up there is because of love and humanity is love. Religion has always brought division among man (no offense intended in that statement). If you can tolerate your neighbour practicing other religion, why can't you tolerate your wife/husband practicing other religion?!
Reasonable arguments please.
Thank you.

We have had cases of it not being a problem for couples throughout their married life and also vice versa. Sometimes when our parents interfere in our choice of lifestyle or spouse it's because they're trying to prevent a disaster. Sometimes they are right other times they are wrong. But inter religious marriage can probably really work if one or both parties are not serious about their own religion

Uhh this is a nice topic,you are on point op when you view it from still being single,now 4 example if you are a christian and you get married to a muslim,you agree on the kids to practice at will,firstly remember that kids don't have the will power to make a choice of what religion to practice,and kids are not considered eligible to make choice 4 demselves till 18+,so its the parents that will bring them up first with a religion,and you know religion once a person has been taught from childhood,it will never depart from his/her heart,it will now become a belief,so wen mature thre be no point of listening to anyother,do u remember wen ur parents asked u if u wanted to practice the religion you are now? No!,
so imagine u have 4 kids and u n your wife agrees 2 for u 2 for her,wud you sit and listen another person telling your 2 kids what's obviously contrary to ur beliefs
How wud you feel when you want to have a family worship/fellowship and its just you and 2 of ur kids,the others are else where? And atimes question ur own beliefs (definetly 1 of them will)

now that's the reason religion forbids it the offsprings is just the matter,and religion forbids you to mislead children for it will be on ur head(thier punishment)
Except the person is willing to convert to urs then fine ull good to go

My bible made it clear "Do not be unequally yoked". That you don't want to marry outside your religion has nothing to do with love or hate.

You can't serve God and Mammon

Marriage is a spiritual union.

If as a Christian, you believe that Jesus is God and the only way to heaven. Why should such a Christian marry outside his religion? He needs a wife of same Christian faith to balance things and to help the kids in the way of the truth they believe in. Not raising up kids, where they attend church in the morning, mosque in the afternoon and okija shrine at night. That's confusion!!!

ORIJIN201:
At bolded part, i agree with you partially. How about i say both party put maturity to play. you should understand my point.

ORIJIN201:
lol at two for me two for you. they can all practice the same religion with their mother i don't care.
Religion is man made, while God is God.

When the love and bond is so strong and true, such petty issues as religion difference becomes outrightly inconsequential. I've not lived it myself but I got a cousin who's happily married to her high school heartthrob (a xtian)and they doing fine with their son, who goes to the Mosque with his Granny and does same to the church when he vists his father's side ... For the young king, Christain or Muslim , There is one God( His conclusion) ... Told me that in one of our few Uncle-nephew correspondences; Learning tolerance, Love and Unity in diversity in its most pristine form .

This is the most encouraging post about the xtian/ Muslim marriage argument I've read. I mean once there's understanding and love then what else?
