I’m just wondering if there’s any good Catholic educational links that talk about the importance of not entering an unequally yoked marriage. My first focus is on unequally yoked marriages between Catholics and non-Christians, and my second focus is on between Catholics and non-Catholic Christians (some people may not consider that unequally yoked, some might, but anyway).

I see so many posts debating this - and even though I subscribe to them often, I feel like they’re harder to find once the subscription gets older and I subscribe to new posts - know what I mean? I’m just looking for something more accessible.
 
Begin with the Catechism section on marriage, it starts at 1601 scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c3a7.htm#1601

Below are the words about mixed marriages:

1634 Difference of confession between the spouses does not constitute an insurmountable obstacle for marriage, when they succeed in placing in common what they have received from their respective communities, and learn from each other the way in which each lives in fidelity to Christ. But the difficulties of mixed marriages must not be underestimated. They arise from the fact that the separation of Christians has not yet been overcome. The spouses risk experiencing the tragedy of Christian disunity even in the heart of their own home. Disparity of cult can further aggravate these difficulties. Differences about faith and the very notion of marriage, but also different religious mentalities, can become sources of tension in marriage, especially as regards the education of children. The temptation to religious indifference can then arise.
