There's no dearth of religious people, so if you want somebody deeni, then find somebody deeni.

Very true. I'd have to guess that it's because love blinds you. You think "I'll deal with this for the time being, maybe it'll work itself out in the end, maybe not. Either way, it'll be ok, because we're together." They don't realize, it won't be ok. Big things, those affect the way you live your life. I'd venture a guess that those types of relationships probably don't work out all that often.
