Explaining mixed marriage in Ireland

"Mixed marriage" strictly means a marriage contracted between a Christian and a non-Christian, but it has come to mean, particularly in Ireland, a marriage contracted between a Roman Catholic and another Christian from the Protestant denomination.
Strictly this should be called an Interchurch marriage, for it is a marriage between two Christians who belong to different denominations. We should not forget that this term would include Church of Ireland-Presbyterian marriages and other inter-Protestant marriages. While it is more correct to use the term "Interchurch marriage" for those marriages where both partners are deeply committed to their own churches the term "mixed marriage" is readily understood in Ireland.
However, it must be remembered that the original meaning of the term - a marriage between a Christian and a non-Christian - still applies, and these marriages still occur in Ireland today. Examples of Jewish-Christian and Muslim-Christian marriages are known and can pose different challenges.

How Mixed Couple are Helping to Heal Divisions in Our Community

The Christian must pray that these tensions may cease, and that real peace, not just an uneasy calm, may return to our country. When communities inter-marry it can lead to an increase of knowledge and understanding, for two families are inextricably linked in the children of these marriages and slowly come to lose the fear that they have of one another.There are complicated theological factors discouraging inter-marriage and in the past the Churches made it difficult to use this method of reconciliation. It is our experience that such marriages can be full of love and can make two differing people truly become "one flesh".

These marriages, by the fact that they happen at all, can be a beginning of the reconciliation so needed in our community and are increasingly recognised as such by the main Churches and some political parties.

Couples do not want to marry as a political move or to further the ecumenical movement, but wish to marry for love and to get on with their lives together.
