    I think that is a question one can only answer for themselves. It may work for one couple, but not work out for another. It goes to what your own personal preferences are. But I tell ya, falling in love can get pretty tricky. You may find you are totally in love with someone who walks a different spiritual path. Whether you can make that work in a long-term arrangement, is up to you. Personally I have had trouble making that work, yet the love keeps pulling us back towards each other. I have attempted to understand his perspective on things, and that has actually taught me a lot and influenced me to grow in understanding and tolerance for other spiritual paths. I love him no matter where his journey takes him, and he loves me no matter where my journey takes me. Whether that can work on a practical level though is really up to the people involved. Good Luck on your journey.

    The Apostle Paul said to marry only in the Lord...so it would make sense to marry someone with the same spiritual thinking as you have.

    The best marriages occur when both partners agree on matters of faith and moral and religion.

    Sure. You just need to address the likely conflicts ahead of tme and be respectful and tolerant of your partner...which you should be doing anyway if you want to marry him/her.
