Marriage is serious responsibility, both you and your partner need to understand each other. My advise will be to sit with your family explain the purpose of your life... And what you will like to achieve in life both spiritually and materially and then try to find a devotee partner or someone that is willing to accept you as devotee..
Sometimes when we marry non-devotee accept krsna cons.. And you can a wonderful marriage and both of you can can progress in devotional services together..
So think about what you want.
Hare krishna....

Hare Krishna Mataji,
PAMHO, AGTSP, AGTSG&G.
A prabhuji in my group was also searching the same way, a devotee wife. While searching we came across few sites, where one can register & give preference for place, caste etc. to search a devotee spouse. I am Posting the links which might help other devotees also.
http://www.vivahamitra.net
http://www.grihasta.com/
http://marryadevotee.com/
& also one can approach a his/her counselor for same.
Your Servant,
Jasbir S.
Thank you prabhuji for your concern
By the way I am born and brought up as a vegetarian . By default even without bookish or guru knowledge I have been following the 4 regulative principles from birth as that sanskar was given to me by my parents as guru.
Definitely the way I have put the words in my earlier message was incorrect and I apologies again for that. But I still believe in what I have said until some true guru comes in my life and convinces me.
Do some re-search, even now in this kalyug, 70% of hindus in INDIA are vegetarian (exceptional are those youngsters who are brought up as vegetarian but break those rules due to bad association in college life)
In my apartment itself, we have 90% vegetarian families (4 members).
So this sanskar of Krishna worship is still prevailing among many parts of our country among hindus and not just ISKCON. Their rules are different (don't take me wrong that i am talking about meat-eating , that is by default in hindu sanskar, people of coastal regions started eating meat as their supple food and leave these modern young generations and cities.)
I don't have even a pinch of doubt that what Srila prapbhupad and ISKCON has given to this modern world is a out of anybody's Else's reach.
By setting these rules and following them strictly is a right approach for this kalyug and modern genration. But that doesn't mean the other style of devotional service followed by our grandmothers/fathers are useless.
When ones gets into the devotional service path, automatically without even by force one tends leave all these demonic things. The taste automatically goes off. The rules are automatically followed and not by force.
Hari Hari
HK Mataji, PAMHO, AGTSP, AGTGAG.
"The rules are automatically followed and not by force."
I like this statement very much. One cannot be forced into devotional service or to develop love onto the Lord, it will come to us if at all our sins are diminishing somehow that we find a Guru and through that we develop the taste for hearing the glories of the Lord and take up to spiritual life seriously.
Northern India is also called as Dharma Bhumi. I was surprised to see that most of the population worship Krsna only. For a dham vasi, there is no need of any initiation, from your examples, that is what I gather about your family members.
Since we are born in the distant proximity of a dham, we are reconnected to the Lord by a Guru.
Hare Krsna...
Once one Mataji disciple of Srila Prabhupada asked him that it is very easy process these 16 rounds, and 4 regulative principles. "Prabhupada, do You think it is enough to go back to Godhead by just doing these things?"
Hearing that Srila Prabhupada's eyes filled with tears and he replied:
"Don't you trust me?!"
He told that it is enough to chant 16 rounds and follow 4 regulative principles in order to go back to Godhead.
And how we DARE to say that it is a dream????????????????? :(
In this age of Kali there is no other no other no other way other than chanting of the Holy Names.
That person who sees Lord only in His Deity form is in the 3rd stage - kanishtha adhikari. But from us it is recommended to go up and become madhyama adhikar - that who can see Krishna in Devotees, in scriptures. Who can discriminate between Devotees, simple people and atheists.
Your servant,
Hare Krsna :
You are absolutely fine, don't worry mataji. Discussions are bound to happen and everyone has their own inputs to share.
Hare Krsna...
