I would think it was just as normal as any relationship. I wouldn't think anything of it. I have nothing against two races wanting to date each other. In fact, the only interracial thing that gets to me at times, is when my british friends make irish jokes at me, because I'm half irish. So they tease me with lines like "Would ye like a cup of tea, father?", or they very cringingly shout "LET'S KICK BISHOP BRENNAN UP THE ARSE!". I pretend I'm not with them, when they start that. laugh

Well, I avoid talking politics or religion in good company... since this is neither, here's my two cents.

Met two couples with different religious background. In both cases the women converted to the guys religion. Both marriages lasted 2-7 years. Same reason for dissolution: incompatibility.

That been said, if the person u want treats u with the love and respect u deserve, why not?!

Could be that if he's British he's not that religious. Most aren't. You could get a civil ceremony. Parent's might not like it if they're religious though. My sister wasn't married in a church but a minister did the ceremony to keep the mothers happy. The minister was a lady who is a friend of the family. Nice lady, even if she is a bit daft. She almost killed me and a friend of mine by driving on the wrong side of the road when she was giving us a lift home from my sister's baby's "naming ceremony". My dad said that she would just have used tap water to sprinkle on the sprog.

The modern church is pretty inclusive these days. I don't think that they take the Bible literally. You could probably find a trendy vicar and just say that neither of you are that religious anyway but if he marries you, he can do the Christenings and funerals as well.

See now this is the thing which just astounds me with its unilateral ignorance. Sweeping generalizations do not work with biblical texts, it simply turns a true statement into a ridiculous lie.

Paul did not say christians can't marry or date non christians at all, he's not even remotely talking about any such thing in Corinthians.
It is entirely a misrepresentation to assert broad rulership based upon contextual statements, it's like hearing a monarch say "what a beautifully sunny morning" and then claim anyone who ever says any morning is not not beautifully sunny even if it is raining and cold, is to be imprisoned for sedition or put to death for treason. That's the kind of ignorance it is.

Paul wrote a very specific letter to a specific church in Corinth. He told them to keep faith and don't be corrupted by politics or social disarray.
He goes on to summarize Isaiah and Ezekiel to the Corinthian clergy, a statement of context. The passages he references in particular are where,

Isaiah is using a specific context to those Isralites deported by Nebudchanezzar under Assyrian rule. He tells them to hold their faith, be jubilant, cherish the memory of home and they will be redeemed. He says faith is universal, others respect it and they will become their own redeemers just as others will redeem them. He says remain faithful and ritually cleansed when you hold the spirit of yahweh and don't be corrupted, don't be impatient, when the time is right you can go home and it will be as you never left.

And Ezekiel, a prophet among those exiled in Babylon by Nebudchanezzar. He characterises the day of return to Israel, likening the exile to the egyptian exodus generations earlier. He says that whilst the jewish faith will lead all their people out of exile, like before there will be many wayward which will be purged once free and not allowed to enter the Israel of their fathers. He says those whom lose faith lose home.


Now what Paul isn't talking about is "become bigoted and racist because that's most christian to do."


edit to add, and by the way, just for reference, in Genesis it states categorically that jewish women can marry foreigners and their children are not only recognized as full hebrew but they also retain all foreign title and inheritance they may have, including any desire to identify with both cultures.
Paul does not challenge this law in Corinthians.

Even if one wasn't religious or neither were very religious, I doubt it would work.

Cultural differences, different set of norms and values etc. If they'd make it to getting kids together, then that's when the shite will likely hit the fan, as everyone tends to go back to his/her roots when they become a parent. You look to your own traditions, habits etc. when you have to raise a child.
Apart from all that, I wonder if any western man would want to permanently live with a woman with a head scarf? I know that I'd get fed up with it and feel like "for heavens sake, leave it at home for a change! I wanna see your hair flow in the summer breeze!"

Even two westerners from different countries ain't easy. I think most ppl seriously underestimate cultural differences.
And sure it can happen, but I think that's more exception than rule.
