Religion !!!!?

Question

well I have been married for about 15 years
my family and relatives lives far away in the middle-east and Africa . I have 4 kids and very happy with my husband he is Catholic and I'm muslim
my family have came to visit us and they seem to have issues
with us being different religions wich we are perfectly happy together and that issue doesen't come up in our marriage
please advise ,
I love my husband and the truth I don't mind that we have different believes .

Answer 1

This is the exact reason I don't think people should marry outside their respective religions because of the stress that comes from either in laws, children or themselves. Since you have made that decision yourself though you need not to let it get to you and understand you made a decision that has upset others, and you will have to stand by that and make the best of it. Good luck!

Answer 2

If having different beliefs doesn't bother either one of you, then there isn't an issue here. Many marriages couldn't survive under these circumstances, but if it works for you, then your family should just mind their business and accept the fact that the two of you are happy. Like the old saying goes, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."

Answer 3

so then what the fk is the problem? Seriously? Why are other people in your business? Religion dont have nothing to do with how much you love your spouse. People just dont know how to mind their business. The fact that your even questioning this isn't good. Stand up for you boo and let your fam know...not to play with you, dont come over unless they are going to respect that you guys love each other. Pork or No Pork, Love is Love. Geez, nosey people these days. tell them all to say a prayer for you.

Answer 4

If you don't mind, who cares what your family thinks. My partner and I have different views on religion and politics as well, but it doesn't really change the fact that we work well together. Unfortunately, religion drives whole groups of people mental and those mental people think religion is the centre of the universe, said mental people are often judgemental and ironically enough hateful.

Answer 5

Your family isn't married to your husband, you are...

That's all I have to say on the issue except that my wife is "Born Again Christian" and I am now fully an "Atheist". I was a Christian when we met. We have been married since 1971. We handle it...

Answer 6

marriages can work where there are two very different beliefs in religion are concerned. My uncle is a christian, and his wife is jewish...they have kids and they both taught them both religions and celebrated all holidays as well. the kids are well rounded with religion in general and will be able to make their own minds up with very good educational backgrounds.

Answer 7

15 years and your family is just now having problems with him being a catholic? You had to have seen this comming!

Answer 8

Religion is not a good way to go by, if you love each other then that is all that matters. Besides religion is make believe. Do you believe in Santa Clause too.

Answer 9

You don't mention whether you both practice your religion.
Point out that it is none of their business; &
that you have been happily married for 15 years.
For them this is a cultural prejudice issue.
We all worship the same G*D, there is only one.

Answer 10

My wife's parents are Jehova's Witnesses. You can imagine, that nothing we do is good enough. We decided to stay married, and not let them ruin a great marriage.
