Do Muslim:bow: women marry a christian man... Do answer me with solid reasons and proof.

Catholicism permits it. But you must agree to raise your children Catholic.
I can't speak for my separated brethren on such a disparaged issue.
I'm sure the answer is no from both Muslims and Christians, but if you convert to Christianity or he converts to Islam, then its no problem. As a Christian, I do not believe one would "go to Hell" or "lose their salvation" if they married outside their faith, but the Bible says we shouldn't, it can create problems so it may not always be good idea. My brother is married to a Jewish woman and my sister is married to an Arab man from Bahrain. Our family is Christian and we all get along just fine and respect each other. We do pray of course, that all will someday trust in Jesus for the free gift of salvation. I mean no offense by that, its just because we are Christian and believe Jesus is the way, you know. There will be some problems with two different faiths, especially with what you teach your children. My sister's children want to celebrated Christmas and Easter but are not allowed. I'm sure eventually children grow up and learn and decide for themselves which religion they feel is true.Do Muslim:bow: women marry a christian man... Do answer me with solid reasons and proof.
The Pope might allow it but Scripture doesn't.
1 Corinthians 7:34 "A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord."
It doesn't say the first husband has to be a Christian, it says the remarried husband has to be a Christian.
2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?"
2 Corinthians 6:14 is not about Matrimony.
And what business does a Muslem woman have even dating a Christian in the first place??? Isn't that asking for trouble? Same applies for Christians. Christians have no busisness dating non-Christians.

You can't possibly think that Paul is saying that your first husband can be a nonbeliever but your second one has to be.

Also, what could be more of a "yoke" than marriage?

In what possible way would the very premise of the OP indicate that this could/would be true? I'm all for coincidence but the fact that the overwhelming majority of children adopt the religion of their parents seems to be stretching it a bit. The only thing I can see from this thread is that strict adherence continues polarization and love does not come into it at any point.I'm sure eventually children grow up and learn and decide for themselves which religion they feel is true.

Oh come on, we have read you. She has got to be the more decent!!!But this sweeping statement is grossly incorrect. Most unbeliever are just as lawful and righteous as believers. I'm an atheist married to a Christian, and we are both equally decent people. So if you have a good unbeliever, does that render this verse / advice irrelevant?
Of course, I see this verse as just another source of labeling unbelievers as necessarily evil even if they aren't. Of which the bible has hundreds of such statements....

The idea is that Christians need someone with the same values. If someone doesn't believe Jesus is God and isn't willing to humble themselves before God at the very least there are issues of pride and idolatry from a Christian point of view. Usually however, people who buy into the "wisdom" of our age as opposed to what Christians call God's wisdom have a much different idea about what's appropriate sexual behavior. I agree most agnostics and atheists believe one should not to steal, lie, and murder as well as believe in giving to the poor.

If I honestly don't think the Christian god is there, what pride or idolatry am I commiting against it?
And I don't know what the "wisdom of our age," but given you condescending quotation marks I can only assume it means that which you don't agree with.
