It depends on what they are breaking up about.  I know of two cases:

The first couple were engaged for about a year and every time they had
a fight, the woman would yank the ring off and throw it at the guy.  Once
he had to stop the car and look for it because she threw it out of a
passenger window!  Every month or so they'd have a spell where they
weren't talking, mad about this or that, and then get back together.  They
didn't set an actual "date" until the woman discovered she was pregnant.
Nine years after their daughter was born, they had a very ugly hateful
divorce.

The second couple were seeing each other for about two years and she
wanted to get married and he didn't.  He wanted so "see the world" from
the "dating" perspective but also wanted the woman to stay in his life
until he was done with his roving.  Well nothing doing, said she.  They
went through a very painful breakup after he started seeing someone else
but little by little kinda slid back into each other's lives.  When they
got back to seeing each other every day, she said "Well?  We make a
commitment or it's goodbye" and it was just about totally over when the
guy realized that NOBODY could take her place (now he knew, see, because
he had gone out with a coupla others) and they lived happily to present.

The second one was the "if you love someone, set them free" bullshit
in action.  The first one was spoiled brat woman with codependent
weasil.  Or something.

Why?

Why is it any more of a close-minded criterium then any other criteria like
intelligence, humor, physical characteristc, geographic location, level
of education, lifestyle compatibility, sexual preference, etc?

Religion is a set of beliefs and if you truly believe, then you must
abide by the sanctions of that belief system.  To not do so, is
hypocrisy and I have a great deal less tolerance for this than I do
for religious belief.

The issue isn't whether or not you have things in common.  The place
it makes a difference is:  How do you and your SO react to things which
are new and different?  If the response is, "learning/trying new things
is fun, and I am always up for finding new interests to add to my life,"
then the fact that you don't *currently* have much overlapping interests
won't be a long-term problem -- it will fix itself as you and your SO 
interact and get involved in each other's lives.
  On the other hand, if you and your SO really aren't interested in
learning new interests and are mostly just interested in keeping
your spheres separate, then you are likely going to drift farther
and farther apart, especially as you find it harder and harder
to share the 20 or so hours a day you aren't screwing.
  
Just a set of observations.

      Yeah, bang your head into a brick wall 3 times and ask again. What's
      appealing about a "bad girl" to you? If it's "getting lucky", you might

Well Shelley, there isn't anything wrong with being surrounded
by "christians", is there?  Who knows?  Maybe you could join
that club called "Jews for Jesus".  Seriously though, from time-to-time
I've seen postings here about a Jewish Singles Mailing List.  The last
time was only a couple of weeks ago, I think.  Anyway, maybe someone
else out there has archived it, and will E-mail it to you.  On the
other hand, you have answered you own questions with the main answer
to the problem; namely, where you live.  Trying to find jews in Iowa,
is like asking someone where the beach is there.  Also, I'd like
to suggest that you not restrict yourself to someone of the jewish 
faith.  There are a lot of nice people out there.  Don't discriminate
based on religion.

No, it isn't. There's a difference between the official view of the
movement, and the practices of some of those involved in the movement.
Reform Judaism does not allow Reform Rabbi's to officiate at mixed
marriages; however it is also the policy of the Reform organizations
to not censure or expell members for disagreement with the official
policy of the movement.

A Reform Rabbi who officiates at a mixed marriage is still a Reform
Rabbi, but they do *not* have the approval of the Reform movement.

Good example, Teri.  But some will say "is this just friends or is this
a PotentialRomanticEncounterWithANeedForAContract" (sorry, I don't
have a good drieux filter) is needed to determine if there is a 
difference.  I don't think there is.

I'm closest to #2...if she doesn't at least offer to pay her share, then
it's unlikely I'll ask her again (is she a freeloader? a traditional
economically dependent type? don't know, don't care) because we won't
get along very well in either case.  And if she does ask me in return, 
I'll be pleasantly amazed.

I don't expect 50-50 on everything...for example, my SO and I split
about 70-30 (me-her), which has some correlation to our respective financial
situations.  She asked me out initially, and insisted on paying...I agreed
only after making it *very* clear :-) that we'd be going out again. 
(Sigh, I'm going to the Caribbean over New Years but she can't go, and
I was *definitely* willing to pay her way).
