You're A Christian, Your Wife Is A Muslim. Will The Marriage Work?

thanks yemstrad 4 once u supporting me i hope i don't get to pay 4 this in mmy other post

see do not let any body deceive you, 4 those who intend to go into such marriage, well some people say they have seen such kind of a marriage that work out. I do not doubt it, but it is 0.9% out of every 100% so who know whether you own will be that 0.9%

To this link is an experience told by one woman who later found out what it takes to marry a muslim

i just said this to another guy so i will say it to you too,


LISTEN MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every muslim will always say that it should never happen not just because of their religeous beliefs but also of their cultural beliefs of losing one of their own to an infidel. (this can also happen the other way around) THE TRUTH IS,

God would never want anything bad to happen to us and neither would he want us to suffer. This would also include leaving your dreams behind because of a culture and settling in for a less fitting option because "society says so".

LOVE WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS and if there is true love in your relationship then nothing can stand in your way, the only time it (religeon) will become a problem is if you are both set in your beliefs and start trying to convert eachother. If you respect eachother's beliefs, tolerate the things you disagree with and you truely love eachother then your love will flourish like any other relationship - regardless of background. Is religeon a problem in your relationship at the moment? has it been in the past? and if so - then to what extent? a conversation and debate is ok but arguing who is right may not help.

You both love God right? be his name Allah, Jehovah, Jah, Krishna or buddha this will not stop you from hugging her before you go to bed each night. The fact you both love God is a good thing and makes you both humble.

Personally i think it would be better than marrying in your own. A muslim girl dedicates herself to her husband unlike any other culture so you know she would never cheat, lie, steal or plan things behind you back which is the culture for alot of western women. On the flip side: traditional muslim men treat their wives as housewives - almost like objects. so the love and support you are willing to give her cannot be found in her culture either. - if you love her - the thought of her being under loved by someone else should make the hairs on your back stand upright.

Both of your cultures are amazing, beautiful and there are loads and loads you can learn from eachother about life, if you go deep into it you may just find a few things you see muslims do that christians should too and vice versa. your differences can easily add spice to things and make you better people in general.

Love is the most powerful emotion on earth. With it you can do ANYTHING. don't let it society hold you back, judge your future from your past. the only thing that should matter in this situation is that you are both happy.


I am a christian who is madly in love with a muslim and she feels the same way for me too. Our whole relationship was filled with "what shall we do" when we fell in love. a few years have since passed and we have decided to marry. we are unbelieveably young and her parents are unbelievably strict so we have alot of hiding it and waiting in our hands but its our final decision. not many people are willing to go through what we are, but we were destined and we will fight for as long as it takes and against all odds. i don't see many couples as in love as we are and our relationship has surpassed many of our friends same religeon relationships because the love we have is pure and true.

Christianity is a way of life, and not religion, not all that is accepted by the Christian faith is accepted by  Islam.  When there is clash of these two, there would definitely be problems, based on religious basis in the family.  I don't think it can work.

two different religion in a marriage, don't and can't work.

Got some friends that their family was divided in to parts, christians was led by the Popsy and the muslims was led by the mumsy. In the end, the family was divided into two and everyone separated with their religion, Popsy moved abroad with the christians and mumsy is in Kaduna with the others. some love huh?

The question bothers me a lot too ,   an end-trap?

muslim women don't marry men from other religions.  I have never heard of any (exept for myself)

Marriage has to do with love.

If reall love is there no matter what is your religion you will have a happier marriage

@poster, it is a tight one. am a christian guy married to a muslim girl.

we married in the court not giving damn about who cares, we are making it work but some of my relatives are keen on her changing and some of her relatives propounding new islamic laws that it is a sin to stay with a non muslim.

Now we have a daughter who has christian and muslim name

its been tough but our love has only waxed stronger. However it is a pending issue but it has been easier because we are both fatherless.

Please Ralse reply me r u serious? I thot I was the only one in this situation

2 mi they have to agree on something before they go ahead but to mi what really matters is the love and every other things will surely work it.

abeg which one be great one?   

whats the great religion 

The case i have seen is. . .
Husband is a mus.lim and wife is a xtian and everything is very perfect!

The woman is allowed to go to church and everything is just fine. . .
But for me. . . i'd rather remain a catholic father with no wife that to marry a m.uslim girl. .
No offence. . thats just the way it iz. . 

@topic,
having researched the issue of marriage between a great one and the christain, I can tell you that it can work. It does work. Just like any other marriage between couples in the same religion, it can also fail.

My guardian is a great one and married a christain. But today, he is no more and the wife is still a christain.

Individual attitude and mutual understanding is the key. We must stop acting as if every marriages that have two couples in the same religion produce pious kids. The goal we seek is diversed.

I admits that it require hard work and rancour-free communication. This should be achieved during courtship. I also admits there is tendency for either of them to change faith in future. I noticed that this only work if it is done without force. It can happen either way.

My opinion is that this kind of union is no more an issue. It is in fact on the rise and it appear that those who make success of it are those who are determined to make it work. And they are many. I envy such family and pray to be part of the success story if I have the opportunity.
