I don't think I could ever marry a fundie-anything.
Why do those religous groups have to equate to fundamentalism?? THere's a wide range of "believer", the majority of whom would by NO stretch of the imagination fall into the Fundy category.

Christians Suck!!! j/k
You're right, Sometimes we do
...and I don't believe in marriage anyway ... another man-made tool of female oppression...
And yet, ironically, women are generally more keen on it than men...
For me religions such as those mentioned above are a cultural issue. In many ways cultural gaps are very difficult to bridge. If those beliefs/practices played a large part in their life, then it is unlikely that I would be on a level with such a person.
I married a non-christian but none of the above. Still married.

I know, I know!!! why IS that? so many good wimmins biting the dust... and yet, you tell me why it is that my personal experience is the EXACT opposite?? Maybe my testosterone allotment was misprescribed?????

All the good ones anyway!!!
It eludes me, it truly does. However I long ago stopped trying to map out the workings of the female mind.
I don't keep my mouth shut, though

the big FemiNazi!!!
LOL, you too? hahaha, NO NO NO, that's MY label (only it's man-hating FemiNazi).
I guess it depends on who you hang with, because I don't have any friends who are particularly looking for marriage. They are just living life, being themselves, and whatever happens, happens. I thought we evolved past that looking-for-a-man thing (I mean, outside the JW and exJW world, as many folks here still don't seem to believe that some of us single women are only here for friendship).
To quote Mae West (as I have on many occasions, yes): Marriage is a great institution. I'm just not ready for an institution yet.

Never.
I did administrative support for an company filled with engineers that were predominantly muslim and hindu. So much so that the company had certain times of the day that they would go to a room and do their worshipping.
Also, I went to school and attended college with a few girls that wore that burka outfit.
By what I saw and heard through these experiences, there'd be no commonality for a dating/marriage relationship with anyone from the Jewish, Muslim or Hindu perception. It's all completely too weird and off the wall for me.
I befriended this co-worker, a white girl, that found some commonality with one of these Hindu engineers. She was very voiceful and outgoing with the group of us; all very nice. Next thing I knew, a few months had passed by and she became very subdued/contained/low tone of voice and even wearing typical Hindu attire at times. We were all like "what ever happened to the Susan we knew?!"

Would you ever get married to a person of a non christian background such as Moslem, Hindu or Jewish?
Oh go on then, I'll try anything once.
No offence meant but I would prefer to marry someone of a Christian background but not fanatical on religion because I think difefferent religions and therefore cultural backgrounds don't really mix and there will always be a certain degree of alienation.
