Buddhist believe that all suffering comes from a desire for possessions. THey believe that the way to escape suffering is to stop desiring possessions. Answer: The 3 basic teachings of Buddhism are "Suffering" , "Impermanance' and 'Non-Self. Non-Self basically mean "no Ego'( no 'I' or Mine"). To be attach towards an object means the object belongs to 'Me" or 'Mine' - the existence of an Ego - the existence of "Self". This would contradict His basic Teaching of 'Non-Self'

Love is a form of attachment and is counter productive to attaining the understanding which leads to enlightenment. Like all desire love leads to pain or suffering. In inter human relationships peace is a natural outcome of the absense of desire. At the personal level one is at peace only when all desire has been identified and discarded. Total peace only occurs when the last attachment, a sense of self, is overcome. That is to say, when Nirvana is attained.

There is no reason to suspect that marriage would have any impact on a Buddhist's "faith". Buddhism is a way of life, seeking moderation and the decrease in desire which leads to unhappiness. Whether the spouse is or is not a Buddhist would not necessarily make the Buddhist convert to the spouses religion, or adopt non-Buddhist lifestyles like lusting after thins in excess of physical needs, partaking in drugs or alcohol, being cruel, being untruthful, stealing etc.
