I'm happy that it seems that it worked out well for your family. It is good
bolabolabo:
it was optional.

I used to go to church with my mum on sundays and some times during the week and I go to arabic lesson every other day....

my dad had no issue with that....

That way, I had the right and knowledge to choose which religion I want...

As I am, I can quote a lot of surahs so also can I quote bible passages.

I see it as a blessing to be a product or inter religious marriage
RomanceRe: How Advisable Is Marrying From The Other Side by BetterHalf(op): 6:05pm On Sep 28, 2016
Okay. Thank you

It depends on the individuals but it really isn't advisable. Tolerance would be pushed to its limit and toes would eventually be stepped on.

BTW, it is 'Mature'.

Thanks for your insight. Please, how was home like growing up?
Were all your siblings brought up as Muslims or was it optional?
bolabolabo:
to start with, I am a product of such marriage. I got to understand the similarities in the two religions.

My dad was the Muslim, my mum the Christian.

While I was in junior secondary school, I was a muslim but was doing CRK. I prayed 5times daily, I go for MSS meeting and still did CRK. FYI, I attended a government boarding school.

Also, it broaden your knowledge about religion.

As I speak with u, I am a confirm christian. tho my middle name will forever be a muslim name

Marrying from the other religion is a adventure to me. it allow u guys see what others dont see.

You sound more like your mind has been made up, you only looking for people to agree with you.
My dear! Do what ever pleases you but don't think about your self alone, think about latter and the kids.
Sorry dear, I've not got my mind made up about this issue hence this thread.
It is easy to assume and imagine scenarios of tranquil and how you will do this and do that but, that changes significantly in real life.
That is why I am seeking the views of others who might have experience and can advice on this.
thanks
Synzu:
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to cancel this...
You are terribly wrong. Muslims do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ.
At the risk of appearing extremist, I'll also have you know that I am NOT a conservative christian. I'm only stating crystal facts according to your initial post and upon the basis of assumption that you yourself are "christian".
Are you saying that believing in God is less important than believing in Jesus?
Issues like these are what this thread would bring out. By thinking about it, you might be exposed to learn a thing or two about others.
As ummeey posted above, Muslims do actually believe in the holiness of Jesus as sent by God but Muslims do not believe in Him as the Son of God
RomanceRe: How Advisable Is Marrying From The Other Side by BetterHalf(op): 2:06pm On Sep 27, 2016
Wow, you've got first hand experience on the matter, I respect that.
My bit about religion is the inherent condition of sticking with people of your own faith. Like the bible quote above, I've listened to pastors preach it to ridiculous extents in the line of; light vs darkness, heaven-bound vs hell-bound etc religion does not really help "unity" in this sense.

ALAGA1:
Religion has not done any harm...But people do harm under the name of religion..

Anything that can be used for good can be abused for evil..One of the consistent perversities of human nature is to find ways to corrupt just about anything and make it destructive..

I am not a Christian so I am not really concerned about the religious technicalities but the social and inter religious issues that will surface. There are two people, two families and extended families. It will be a big issue if not now but later on.

It is hard enough for a couple to remain married without religious traditions/rituals/beliefs etc. Then there are the children's faith..Who will they follow?

So it depends on the degree of religiosity on both sides that will confound and upset the union. Family members will interfere with your decisions if they are more traditional or fundamentalist.

Trust me, growing up with a muslim dad and a Christian mum is not a funny experience..

I can relate well to it..

herbie27:
Not too advisable, you both will obviously bring diverse and conflicting religious beliefs to the table.
Can only marry a christian.
What if you find a real classic man, a man made from the stuffs of your dreams but is not a christian? smiley

Synzu:
2nd Corinthians 6:14.
That quote is about idolatry. Muslims believe in God same as Christians.....

primy:
it's not advisable, the marriage is bound to be filled with choas due to the religion difference..... and how will the children brought up look like? which religion will they belong to?...... I don't really think it's a wise decision.
Chaos is kinda manageable but I'm more concerned about raising the children.... hmmmm
RomanceRe: How Advisable Is Marrying From The Other Side by BetterHalf(op): 1:31pm On Sep 27, 2016
Sometimes, I wonder if religion is a good thing... the situation seems worse with Christianity as you've pointed out.
This dilemma in my view, is because all religion claim to be the "good one" while any other is "the opposite" which is a shame, really.
But my questions is still more about inter-faith marriages and the real-life challenges and the consequent realities it poses.

ALAGA1:
Lol..Not everyone follows their religion to an extreme degree, which is very smart and good...

The question should be, "Why are christians of different denomination not getting married?" grin

Can you marry a Presbyterian? Can you marry a Jehovah Witness? grin

It's so shocking to hear christians say =»"personally I wouldn't marry someone of a different denomination, because when you really start thinking about it, in most cases, your beliefs are going to be somewhat (sometimes even drastically) different.."

Funny Religion..
RomanceHow Advisable Is Marrying From The Other Side by BetterHalf(op): 11:23am On Sep 27, 2016
Hello

I have a little situation that I will like to sample your opinion on.
How advisable or practicable is MARRYING someone from a different religion i.e a Muslim marrying a Christian?
Seeing that marriage is not just only about the husband and wife, how do the families react to this situation?
Does it work? How is the union managed?
Matured and experienced views are most desirable here because this is an important life issue.

Thank you.

I quite agree with you about general reading. Anyways, i got it today and its real. havnt read it through but i saw dssc 22 questions live!

mikedimeji:
Is it not more reasonable buying a GMAT for 2500 than buying a past question that am so sure it's not actually a past question but something that looks like one. We all know that they usually collect the questions back after exam. So men and brethren I will suggest u try and read any thing u can lay ur hands on and pray along. Success is guaranteed to the glory of God

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Fresh Nigeria Immigration Recruitment 2015 by BetterHalf: 3:16pm On Mar 13, 2015
Simply re-apply for the one you desire! The site is telling you what it has saved for your application. Do not assume it would correct itself.

But before you re-apply and withdraw this erroneous one, make sure you logout and re-login several times probably with different browsers to be sure of the error.
Atleast, it is free.
