Can they work? I know many more marriages that are the same faith that
fail. Hope you can help in this question.

A Christain and Buddhist Marriage specifically.

i guess it really depends on how religious you both are, and how
accepting you both are.

it can definetly work, i believe that anyone should be able to marry
anyone, but i know that families can feel extremely differently.

i think that if you do get into a relationship, and you both feel very
strongly about your religions, then it is probably a subject that needs
to be avoided at all costs.

it really depends on how accepting each person is of other religions

I have a Jewish friend who married a Catholic. Her parents were
protestant and Jewish and she hated growing up torn between the two as
they tried to incorporate both in their family for a time.

So they decided to bring their children up in the Jewish faith.

They have been married for almost 30 years and still seem well suited
for each other and still in love.

A house divided will not stand.

There's no reason that an inter-faith marrige cant work. Unless, you
expect her to "see it your way", or, she expects YOU to "see it her
way".

I think its easier for a western/eastern mix of religons in a marrige
than a denominationX/denominationY marrige.

hey suede, who said anything about the marriage being divided?
personally as long as they are both comfortable in their own belief
structure, and are tolerant of others, then there should be n problem
from the "religious" aspect.
