Hi again, i'm melody. thanks for the answers, some of them really helped me! As i said i met a guy 4 years ago and he is muslim, we didin't see each other, by the way we really love each other and he loves me from all his hearth. I was born in the country that he lives right now, but we have different religion. He asked me to marry him, NOT RIGHT NOW, after i finished my study. I really love him and i want to marry him because he doesn't me because of my money, look or for using me. he loves me for my self and nothing else.by the way we both have strict family about our relogion. the problem is, he wants from me to change my religion to islam, because he thinks that in future we'll have alot of religion problem. He also respect to my religion very much. But i dont want to change my religion to islam but i'll respect his religion too. U know what, i love jesus and if u really ask me, who i am choosing between jesus and him, i'll choose jesus, by the way i want him to be my husband too

I think u should leave him! You said that he repects ur religion, then why does he want to change your religion??! that just doesn't make any sense, if he loves you then he wouldn't care what religion you are or wouldn't ask you to change it! I think you should just find a guy with the same religin as you , so that u wont have any problems with the whole different religions that you 2 have! He should do the same! & maybe his & your parents are strict because you guys dont share the same religion, your parents probably want you to be with a man with your same religion, as well for his parents!!...i hope this wprks out, & good luck!

Wow! That's so great to have someone love you like that and congratulations on the marriage proposal!
Personally, as a Christian also, i would leave him. Firstly, because the religion issue will become a problem in your marriage. Muslims and Christians both have very strong beliefs and it's going to become a problem somewhere along the line. Secondly, because if you are really Christian, then you wouldn't marry him. It says in the bible that you shouldn't marry or date a man/woman who isn't christian because they will make your faith wobbly. It's easier to pull someone down from a chair then it is to pull them up right? So in the same way, it's easier to pull someone down from their relationship with God then it is to help them keep there beliefs.
I'm just concerned for you Hun because i don't want you to walk away from Jesus and all that he's done for you...
think about it.
Also...I can promise you right now that God has a purpose and a plan for you and if you leave your boyfriend God will provide you with the perfect Christian guy to suit you and your relationship with him!

Hey darling, things doesn't work 2 ways, you know. You can't have him as a husband unless you convert and it's the fact. In the muslim religion, it's is deeply believe that muslime guys must marry a muslim lady, it's a must or else many believe they will be punish by their God. For a christian or catholic to marry a muslim, it is almost impossible. It's either you make the sacrifice or he makes it. You can never play with the muslim religion. Their relgion has to be treated seriousle or else your BF will be badly criticize and may even be driven out by his family memebers.

I'm going to guess that religion is going to be the huge sticking point in this relationship. I think he's right. And it's probably his family who will pressure him to marry a woman who practices Islam, so you're not going to have much luck unless you convert.
If you won't, call it off.

no you shouldnt leave him for this but i do agree with you. you should keep your religion. in my family once your married you change to his religion. but in this case i disagree with the man. just talk to him and your can work it out if your really in love everything will be alright but you cant break up over something so small if you love him as much as you say you do

You want Jesus to be your husband? Oh my. You're 2000 years too late.
Anyway if religion is that important to both of you, this won't work out.

Talk to him, tell him how you feel. Sound him out to changing his religion. If you cannot both agree to keep your own religion then leave him.

ok so you 2 have different religions tell him to keep his and you will keep yours and you both just go to different churches but if you 2 have kids then you will first have to choose for them but when there old enough they will have to chose on there own

tell him how u feel. because its kind of mean to leave him without letting him know why, maybe hell change his religion for u. who knows... but if he doesnt understand ur love for jesus then its not worth it.
communication is the key....
