My husband was raised Catholic and I was raised as a nonpracticing Jew. We have been married almost 14 years now. I think because neither of us are very religious, religion is not an issue for us. His mother is very open-minded about it, and embraced me as her other daughter. I have since converted, but that is another story and I was not influenced by him or his family in any way.

I think religion becomes an issue if one or both people are really religious and try to push their religion on their significant other. You cannot change another person, they have to change themselves.
