I am Christian and my husband is Muslim.....we married in a civil ceremony...neither of us are going to convert and there has never been any pressure from either of the families.
Good luck and I hope you will be as happy as we are.

Answer 2

Define Christian. If all that is to you is what you were born into, this next part won't concern you. IN the Christian belief, 2nd Corinthians 6:14 states that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Any teachings I have heard on this it is speaking with regards to not marrying someone who believes other than you do. If you read the Bible, there is actually a lot of Scriptural referance on this. no matter what 2 religions, if you are each active in your faith, it is bound to create a lot of conflict and tention in the mariage, as well as how you raise any children brought into the marriage. Think long and hard before making a decision like this. PS I have a feeling this won't be high on your list of concerns though, because from your comment "neither of us wish to convert" I'm guessing you call yourself Christian, as many do, but without really walking in the Christian faith's beliefs. because if you were, conversion wouldn't have even been brought up. but I could be wrong. Either way, best of luck; you may need it!!

Answer 3

This is going to be a big problem in years to come.Right now you are in love and cannot see the problems that are going to surface when you have children.
I fear that you will lose your children to your muslim half.I have seen this time and time again,nomatter if the muslim is a husband or the wife. As soon as the chidren are born they suddenly seem to become so much religious and the non muslim partner always seem to lose out. You read so many hundreds of reports of a muslim parent taking their children back to their own countries and then never bringing the kids back.
Moreover it is in the muslim religion that if they convert even one non believer (as the muslims call it) to Islam then that person is guaranteed a place in heaven.
Sorry mate you might think that with you it is going to be different but I fear that if you go down the road you are going, then one of these days you are going to be a very lonely man without a wife and minus children.
AND don't believe some of the answes that you are getting about converting to Islam. That will be the biggest mistake of your whole life.
If God wanted you to be a muslim,he would have given you muslim Parents.
good luck.

Marriage does not have to be a religous event. You can have a civic wedding where you will be married by an official or a judge. That reduces the guest list somewhat because all you really need is one or two witnesses to sign, but at the party afterwards you can have everyone you like. I suggest you find out some more deatails about how civic weddings are done in your town.

As for dealing with the families, you're on your own. :)

Answer 5

I am sorry to say but no u should not tie the knot. You two may think that once u are married, everything will work out. But once u have children . . . u both may want to raise the children in bought religions but it can only be one. The strong religion factor will definetly play a part in your life and especially the children. Try to find a partner that has your own beliefs so that you can work on common goals.

Answer 6

the two are promptly comparable. on an identical time as your fact relating to the motives used is right, the opposite is likewise genuine to a brilliant quantity: woman circumcision is finished in some muslim countries as a stunning of passage into womanhood . Male circumcision is finished interior the West to dodge a guy's means to ever appreciate intercourse because of the fact it extremely is assumed that adult adult males in basic terms will not be able to be depended on. the motives are precisely the comparable. each and every excuse or 'reason' to circumcise a guy interior the U. S. has been used as a 'reason' to mutilate ladies in Africa, and vice versa. that is supposedly cleanser, greater healthy, prevents an infection, seems greater perfect, etc., etc., etc. that is all BS of direction. Circumcision is disgusting and unethical toddler abuse, mutilation, torture and is extremely legalized toddler rape. that's the case no count if that is achieved to a woman in Africa or a boy interior the country. and woman circumcision isn't 'greater severe'. this could be a lie promoted by applying the pro-male-mutilation lobby. woman circumcision in lots of cases - contained in maximum persons of cases - comprises reducing the labia or the clitoral hood - it extremely is it, and that's plenty much less debilitating than reducing off the male foreskin. Clitoridectomy is, by applying DEFINITION, no longer circumcision. announcing that it extremely is could be like claiming that finished genital castration substitute into the only sort of male circumcision. Oh, and non secular circumcision is DENOUNCED in Christianity - you won't be able to do it and nonetheless be a Christian.

Answer 7

Dont. You will be under constant pressure to convert from both sets of parents, and this will not end until they have split you up. Only if you are prepared to move to another part of the country and not see your families can this work, and even then there will be pressure from the Muslim community wherever you are. She will be regarded as a prostitute because their laws and rules are all made by men for the advantage of men, and thus she will be treated.

Answer 8

Christians believe that they shouldn't marry non believers (i.e. non Christians) because you are only headed for trouble. - You will not agree on everything and then if you have kids ... imagine all that trouble just multiplied. I'd say give up your girlfriend and trust God to bring you a Christian wife. I am here saying this today because my mum decided she had to say no to a non christian boyfriend and then very shortly after met the young man who became her husband and then my dad. Trust in God - He is good, He has plans for your life and His way is perfect. Blessings

Answer 9

Just because you both have religious theories doesn't mean you cannot be open minded and willing to learn about the others religion. I married a Muslim, he is now a Christian. Stay open minded, but whenever either of you attends the others church you should let it be know that you are merely trying to educate yourself. Pray about it..

Answer 10

Dear
