Includes bibliographical references and index.

Defining holy matrimony -- The road to marriage -- The vows we make -- Passing it on -- The December dilemma -- Interfaith divorce -- Muslims in the melting pot -- The welcome mat -- Jews, Mormons, and the future of interfaith marriage.

Drawing on in-depth interviews with married and once-married couples, clergy, counselors, sociologists, and others, Riley shows that many people enter into interfaith marriages without much consideration of the fundamental spiritual, doctrinal, and practical issues that divide them. 'Til Faith Do Us Part is an exploration of the promise and peril of interfaith marriage today. --from publisher description.
