 I would say, it depends on how much your religion means to you or her. If your religion tells you a lot and it is very much part of your life, it will affect the relationship and it's maybe better not to have a partner with an other religion. If it doesn't say a lot to either you or her, it doesn't matter.

Your question comes up quite a bit on DearCupid. I think whether or not it affects the chances of the relationship working comes down to how much seriously each of your religious views are in your lives. Some people are religious yet their religion mostly fits around their life, whereas other people's lives fit around their religion. A good example of this is that someone may be a Christian, yet feel it OK to marry an atheist, whereas another Christian would only ever marry another Christian.
The more literally someone takes a religion, the less likely they are to feel that anyone in a different religion is could be compatible for them.
I don't think someone of a different religion is necessarily something to make you cautious, after all, people in relationships break up for all sorts of reasons. But, if those two people live different lifestyles because of their religions then perhaps it won't make for a good match?

Why? because if they are truly faithful to their beliefs I don't think it will work out. You see protestants 'protest' against Catholics. Catholics have a lot of beliefs and traditions protestants will not tolerate. I also don't see Mormons and Jehova Witnesses getting together with anyone who's from other religion. Adventists do it but rarely. You must remember that if you are dealing with an adventist it's somentimes difficult because they go to church on saturdays and observe this day from the moment the sun sets on fridays to the moment the sun sets on saturdays; and are not allowed and will not allow you to buy things, cook, work or nothing on saturdays. You have to consider the level of faith both people are showing. I mean sometimes people from different religions get into a serious relationship and-depending on their faith and personalities-they make an agreement and go together to both churches during the week. But lets get real, that's only in the beginning, later on in the relationship there are big possiblities they get tired and/or one of them sucumbs to the other and just leaves his/her beliefs behind. To answer your question I believe there are good possibilities if they are both protestants.
