A lot people say to marry in the same faith. Not because it's wrong not to, but because it'll be easier. You'll both agree on the same morals, values, ect which are very important in a marriage.
But there are a lot of people who can handle marrying outside of their faith, because they love them. It happens all the time. It may cause problems every once in awhile but if you both compromise and respect each other, the marriage should work.

Remember God has given us all free will. We are free to serve him in whatever way is best for us. You may follow the Catholic, Christian, Jewish or any other religion that you find comfort in as most all religions follow the same 10 commandments and are instructed to follow mans law as well.
I met my wife in an elevator. Why? Because we both feel that is where god meant for us to meet. So if you meet a catholic in a Christian church; in my estimation that is where god means for you to meet. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

So to find a Catholic in a Christian church is not unusual if they don't take the divisions in faith so seriously. But you are or at least you have heard that you should take it seriously.
I will tell you right now that God has no concern at all what race we marry, he's not racist, he doesn't care what spiritual belief your mate is because he did not create those religions, man did in their attempt to find a way to worship God that worked for them. God doesn't even care what your sexual practices are, as long as you and your partner are both consenting adults who have agreed upon what you do. No, I am not a heathen, backslidden Christian, I have just come to realize that as Gods children, we somehow have gotten off track and learned to worry more about man made rules and call them Gods rules. The real slap in Gods face is to teach others that He says this and such is so....when he never did.
Back to the person you met, as long as the person would treat you right, there should be no problem, even if they were a pagan. Pagans are not Satanists, thats a separate group. The only group id advise staying away from is a satanist. Fact is, I married a Christian man...he turned out to abuse me. A persons belief is not a good gauge of where their heart and mind is at, it is only by their actions that you will know. Remember the verse about 'you shall know them by their fruit?' thats what it is refering to [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
WittyUsernameHere answered Monday July 8 2013, 11:00 pm: Catholics are Christians. They're actually kind of the original Christians. The Catholic Church was the first church of Christianity, and all of the other types (Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian) are groups who broke away from the Catholics because they didn't agree with church dogma. Other groups broke away from them (mormons, maybe Jehovahs witnesses? Maybe evangelicals?) and formed their own groups.
