faith is what you believe not all people believe the same thing so it shouldnt matter. its like saying should you get intimate with someone who supports a different football team? lollaugh

Its not wrong but it would be better to be with someone whom you share with the same faith because it strengthens you.

Relationships in general start out like putting your toe in the water to see if the water is going to be suitable for a swim *marriage*

Marriage is the joining of two people in more then just by the paper of this world. Two people getting married are joined as one. For there is no more twaining but they are as one flesh. So I would dearly suggest being with one that has the same beliefs.

Matthew 19:6

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder

Too much friction; Kind of like no foreplay. Sorry, its the best analogy I can make at this time. I like peace and tranquillity in relationships.

James 3:18

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

it depends on what faith you are. according to the bible, God tells us(his people) not to be unequally yoked(joined) with an unbeliever. i understand this is very hard for some people and it seems unfair but he is only looking out for our best interest, which is our relationship with him. he doesnt want anyone to hinder your relationship with him. he also says "how can two walk together, unless they agree". if you are a strong beliver, you may struggle in your marriage because your spouse doesnt understand your faith. i sincerely urge and hope you find someone who shares your faith. i struggle in this area too. it is a beautiful thing to be able to pray and worship with the one you love.

depends upon how one defines faith

I dont care so much for religious labels or subdivisions as long as we both love God and agree on basic human values and the value of Gods word

The Apostle Paul clear warns Christians not be yoked to unbelievers:
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" [2 Corinthians 6:14]

Sadly, because we are still creatures of flesh, it isn't unusual for our flesh to lead us into ignoring Paul's warning.
