Muslim-christian Love Story Going Awry: What Can We Do?
« on: October 19, 2007, 02:00 PM »

It was as if we were overtly meant for each other. We've been inseperable for the past nine months. She is a Christian and I a muslim. Suddenly she started freaking out, saying she can't marry a muslim. She's really hurting herself as she is having a  sleepless night. She is in love with me from all indication, but she is totally torn.

What can we do to save her and my love because life without her is somehow incomplete. Save me save my girl. I let her realize that religion is nothing about relationship this but she is getting berserk.

Kindly advise,

I am currently in an interreligious relationship. We have been going out for 6 years and we love each other so much. We are committed to each other and
against the odds, marriage is seriously in the books. I am a christain from a strong Christain background and i inderstand her fears. My Family are strongly against any relationship with him. But we have both tried in vain to break up and we can't exist without each other. If your love is strong enough it will stand if not it will be tough.
It is very difficult but There will always be a way.
Good luck

Love or affection is not an end to this our heartly world but a means to a good eternity in the life hereafter.So Interreligion marriage or should i say relationship to me is personal and should be view from one angle;Are a good Christen or Good Muslim. if your answer is YES!you should known what Bible and Quran says about this and other interrelated issues that can let someone become pious Muslim or devoted Christen.
Thank God for our live that we are learned.

@poster,
the problem you are having is clearly the handiwork of an outside party. That is why the two of you are in pain. Both of you don't want to let go, love is there, but something is missing. Unless you locate the missing link, the relationship may eventually hit the rock.

Marriage is not built on love alone. You may love one another, if other ingredients are not presence, it may end up in trash can of history. That is why love sometimes go sour.

To be candid, intereligious love affair is a complex issue that require mutual understanding on the part of the couple to succeed. This understanding would have to be built under mutual trust and confidence. Then the couple would have to contend with third parties. Their parents, friends etc. I think what you are passing through is at this stage. Somebody might have convinced her to dump you on account of the religion difference. And that somebody must be someone whose opinion she respected. Now, instead of crying, you must bear this fact in mind and find a way of persuading her to tell you exactly why she want to part from you even though it is painful for her to bear. Assure her of your understanding. If you can persuade her to unburden her heart to you, the job is half done. Why? You would be in a position to know the exact problem.

You have alot to do. As a muslim, your religion does not stop you from marrying a christain lady. The questions are: would you, for the sake of love, let her practice her religion without molestation? Can you guaranttee her freedom to practice whatever religion she choose without coaxing her into accepting yours? I am sure this kind of questions are the likely content of the advices give to her by the "third party".

If she is a strong christain, then you have to address that issues before marriage talks can proceed.

Do that and feed us back on the outcome. Cheer.

Aisha, you are indeed lucky.

U gotta calm her down and let her understand that if she truly loves u, religion should not be a barrier. Afterall, we all worship one God and there have been lots of christian-muslim marriages that is out there, they make it work for them one way or the other.

keep talking to her. . that is if u really love her if not, let her go now before it gets too late.

tough luck!
