I agree with that.

It is not intolerance to choose to marry a christian if you are a christian. How can two agree unless they walk together? The mistake here is weaker christians getting involved romantically with non christians and then realising later that it would not be wise to tie the knot.

I watched this on a programme "Dating in the Dark" or something. Only watched it once and don't normally. There was a christian that went through all the romantic moves and at the end walked away because of his faith. Why did he get involved in the first place and hurt the woman?

No one has set up rules that christians should not marry unbelievers but I would counsel personally and from scripture that it is unwise to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. One's faith needs to flourish and a believing spouse is a great help in this. It's a matter of putting God first really.
