I love him alot and think about our furture together. I think about marriage and most defintely children. In my religion in those to aspects we should be unified. Not unequally unyoked. He just became muslim 4 years ago. When his grandmother was alive she used to take him to chruch. He loves his grandmother and said she was his best friend. She died 6 years ago. So what do you think I should do about my situation?

Myself being a Christian, I can tell you to read 2 Corinthians 6:14-16. This relationship will not last especially if he believes in a totally different god. You'll always have marital problems if God is not in the center of your marriage. I've been married to a Christian man for six years and we have our share of problems. I can only imagine what two people with different spiritual beliefs will encounter. Pray about it and see what God says about it and also going to others for godly advice helps. Ask your pastor or the pastor's wife and see what they say.

Of course your relationship can last, it's not a problem if both of you are intelligent people who know what they want and if you two love and respect each other. Basically, like in any relationship. However, it's always easier if both people are of the same religious belief, in life it's always much easier not to differ, if you know what I mean. The other thing I wanted to say is that I heard some cases of female Christian-male Muslim relationships in which women went to live in the home country of their husbands, and were very very unhappy. Cultures are sooo different, and if you end up in a traditional family, it's not good for you. So, meet his family very well before you marry him. Clash of cultures is thing that you should be aware of. All in all, you're marriage can be very successful if you two have love, respect and understanding.

Interfaith relationships can be very trying and have painful emotional consequences if they don't work out, more so than other relationships because religion tends to be tied into all aspects of people's lives.
If you both can accept each other as you are, then you are off to a great start, but if you are constantly thinking about converting him or fantasizing about him giving up his religion for you, then you are going to be in for a rude awakening. Sorry.

just be happy he is there with you. any relationship can work if you both work at it. it takes 2 to make a relationship and it takes 2 to break one. but you have to be sure of what you both want. if you have the slightest doubt on each other be sure you work out your problems before you tie the knot on this relationship. i had a muslim bf but he was never able to make it to the states and he swore i was the love of his life but after 4 years of interchanging mail he suddenly stopped writing to me and has declined any and all messages.so make sure u clear out all the webs on this relationship before taking any big steps

I was involved in the same situation about 3 years ago, I would pray hard and examine the pros and cons, in my situation that's where we fell apart, his entire family was muslim though, we really liked each other but we disagreed where it counted the most, I would try to find a good non denominational church that's CHRIST focused and get him to go with you, just don't go with him,lol, where do you live I might know of one? - aminalovesjesus@yahoo.com

i for one do see your dilema. however i am still one that believe marriage is what you put into it. although you both are playing on different sides, is it possible that both of you minds are open to compromise of different things that will aray because they will especially with kids in tow. this answer will have to come from your heart, you will, your faith and you boundaries. things are placed in front of you for a reason also. good luck.

Muslims believe the wife should follow the husband, so if you stay with him, plan on converting. And plan on raising your children Muslim.
Make your plans based on your decisions, don't assume other people are going to change to please you.

You already know the answer. You are unequally yoked and in the future this will cause some serious problems. Pray, pray, pray.
