When you marry outside of your beliefs, there is always one person that has stronger beliefs than the other. Sampson is a good example of what happens when you marry someone of a different faith.
Also there was the parable of the unequally yoked oxen. When yoked together, the stronger one will drag the weaker one where they want to go.
This can ruin the faith of a believer who is not as strong in their beliefs as their partner is in theirs.
Samson's wife Delilah was born in Philistine.
Samson's family lived in Zorah, which was in the foothills west of Jerusalem, near Philistine territory, in the lowlands that separated the Philistine plain from the hill country of Judah. Once Samson grew up, he decided to disobey God and marry a Philistine woman from Timnah, a town on the northwest border of Judah. The whole Samson and Delilah saga happened in the Valley of Sorek, another Philistine territory.

Yes Samson married Delilah.
She was paid 1,100 pieces of silver from each Philistine ruler.
Jacob was never permitted to marry Rebecca since she was his mother.
There was two. Samson was not supposed to divulge his secret to anyone. He allowed his pride to get in the way. It was a sin for him to be with a Philistine woman, which Delilah was. Delilah used deception to trick him into telling his secret.
There is no indication in the Biblical account that Samson and Delilah were married. Delilah was a Philistine woman who deceived Samson and cut his hair while he was sleeping, thereby causing him to lose his strength.
Yes they can marry their cousins
The bible does not give the name of Samson's wife in JUdges 14 but it does specify that his wife was a philistine which was prohibited to do if you were a Nazarene. Actuall, Samsons wife was Delilah, the one who betrayed him. Actually, the FIRST answer is correct, not the one above. We are never told Delilah was married to Samson (Judges 16), though some have assumed such. The only wife we know Samson had (later given to his "best man!") was also a Philistine woman whose name is never given (Judges 14).
Delilah was promised 1,100 pieces of silver by the rulers of the Philistines in exchange for revealing the secret of Samson's strength.
