Would it help her strict Muslim family to accept us marrying.

You want to convert to Islam and you don't even know how they convert?! does that means you know nothing about Islam, and you are just converting for the girl! Smart, very smart. You must be a romantic one. It is easy. You don't have to know anything about Islam as you clearly don't. All you need to do is to submit to Allah and his prophet, and you are one. But also remember that if you convert, you can't convert out of it, or you will be killed if you changed your mind, or fell out of love with that girl.

Definately, converting to one religion is something all married couples should do, so that you both follow one faith.
Her family would accept you, they SHOULD, even if they don't at first, they will with time. But don't be suprised if there are certain people in the community wouldn't. My mom is a convert to Islam, and yes, my father's family does accept her. Prove them wrong, show them that you can be a good son-in-law, follow the religion and do this well. Show them, that you can be both modern and accepting, yet follow the rules set out and accept them, complete your role and show them that there is no one else better than you for her. Support YOUR family with this, they may find it difficult or uncomfortable with you converting, especially to Islam after all that has happened with the media. I know that my mother's mother was a bit worried when my mom converted, seeing the muslim community around her (from malaysia), where the men take full advatage of the sayings, bending and twisting to their liking.
Good luck.

It depends on the girl's family. There are a lot of cultural issues involved not just religious. For example if you live in Britain and the family is Pakistani, her brothers will find you and castrate you!
Though if the accept her marriage to you, you would have to convert.
But I recommend you don't convert to Islam if you don't want to be a Muslim.

Muslim women are forbidden from marrying anyone who is not Muslim. Therefore you'd have to convert to Islam in order to marry the Muslim girl. Her family is not strict they are just trying to teach her the ways of Islam.

You should only convert to Islam if you truly believe that Allah is the one true God and that Muhammud (PBUH) is his messenger. With regards to a girls family it depends how traditional they are the more traditional the harder it is because u are not of the same culture, but if they are open mindind, educated muslims they will accept u because u are a muslim and will look after their daughter as any God fearing muslim would, regardless of colour.

Classic Y!A!!! The first guy NAILS the answer then 100 people come out and tell the questioner he's going to hell if he converts. People, she obviously ain't converting and he's willing, end of story, go ask an imam (since no imams seem to be on this board).
Edit: Okay, obviously one or two know something about the need to convert. To the rest of you, religion is just a stamp on your passport. God really doesn't care.

If you really love her convince her to become Christian and you also stay Christian. This may be difficult and the attempt may cost you your life because it is common for muslims to murder those who try to convert a muslim from the evil religion of pagan moon god allah to the religion of the real God of the Bible as represented by His Son Jesus, but if you really love her, try to help her be saved, and maybe even you can help Jesus save her whole family.

Congrats! It is truly a blessing that God has bestowed His mercy on you and led you to the truth. The only advice I can give to you is to not listen to everything you hear as true! You have to check the source, consider ALL opinions and then use your logic to come to a determination. Remember that you're not converting for your wife (although that helps!) but for God only. Think of it more as a progression rather than a conversion. Islam is the restored truth of Christianity and Judaism and we still can extract wisdoms from all religions. I wish you the best on your spiritual journey. Good luck and God bless. Welcome to Islam! :)

You must become a muslim to marry into a muslim family, just go to the local mosque and ask advice to change, when you are married just carry on your own way, unless your wife is strong muslim then ?? Good Luck Anyways.

It should, islam would allow this, however, sometimes people confuse culture with Islam, the family may say that you cannot marry because your not to the same race as their daughter., this is wrong and is not islam, in this instance the daughter is allowed to go against her parents and marry you. Good Luck!!
