Question

i want opinions on relationships dealing with mixed religions! ...past & current experiences...

Answer 1

Mixed marriages can work if neither one of you is really serious about religion. Before marriage, there shouldn't be any problems.

If you start thinking about trying to make a life of it, you will need to talk about children you might have. One of the biggest conflicts may be how to raise your kids. I would suggest that no religious education and church/mosque attendance only for major religious days might work for you, I can't say whether that would work for him.

Answer 2

As long as you can agree on important issues and respect each others faith then you will be fine. You should be able to find a way to combing and integrate each others religious values into your combined life.

I am currently in an interfaith relationship that is getting to the point that we are thinking about marriage and the future. It does get a little more complex when you are starting to think about marriage and children. If you can agree upon lifestyle and the potential rearing of children then there is no cause for concern.

Good luck. Love knows no faith.

Answer 3

I am associated with Jehovah's Witnesses, and there is probably no group other than Muslims who are as absolute about their beliefs... but differences of religion CAN work if everybody tries.
I have a friend who married a man years ago, when neither one were practicing any religion at all. She had been raised as a Witness, and he was from upper Africa and raised as a Muslim. They married and had a child together, and then he had to leave for his home country to serve in their military or he couldn't have gone back home again. While he was gone, she began studying the Bible again, and was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. He, in the meantime, began to study the Koran again and immersed himself in the Muslim religion. What a culture shock when HE got home!! But they worked at it, and respected one another's differences and religious commitments. She was gone a great deal with conventions and assemblies and field service. He prayed in a particular room in their home, and didn't eat pork or drink alcohol. They each taught their daughter their own religion, and allowed her to choose if and with whom she would lay her beliefs. The daughter was baptized as a Witness when she was 18.
It worked for them because they MADE it work.. and if this relationship means anything to the two of you, then you can make it work, too, with respect and patience and love.

Answer 4

I think love conquers everything, including different religions. I had an ex that was muslim and I am christian, we did not have issues because we respected and loved each other. I was willing to learn about his religion and he was willing to listen to me. he didn't give up his faith, but it helped him know I respected his religion as equally as mine. If you decide to have children, you will both need to decide which religion you would prefer them to be raised knowing, or simply teach them both. I think knowledge of all religions is power and understanding. Good luck!

Answer 5

I can't give you all my details, but where there is love anything can work. If you two love eachother enough to put aside your disagreements with religion, you can live happily ever after. Remember, every religion believes in the same God, we all just have a different name for him.

Answer 6

if he want's to be with you, and he accept's you .. he must accept you're belief aswell. Meaning, he must accept that you hold you're own beliefs and he must respect that. I hate the whole idea of converting bla bla bla for marriage because they do not have the same belief.

It just shows that really.. you don't accept the other person fully and you don't respect them. This is because there belief is a part of them.

I myself am a Sikh. Good luck!

Answer 7

Try to respect each other's value and faith. I am sure you both will be happy in life. You are not for religion but religion is for you make a happy life.

Answer 8

I WAS married to a muslim and I am Christian. He said lots of things before we were married but it all changed afterwards. I know of many marriages between muslim and nonmuslim but they only work the nonmuslim have no religion.

Answer 9

I am not a hundred percent sure about the Catholic Bible, but in the protestant Bible, it says that believers should not be with unbelievers, such as light cannot be with dark.

Also ask him what he thinks about Surah 19:19 in the Quran

It is about Jesus

Answer 10

This will never work. Been there done that, muslims have there own idea's of religon and its not nice
