Inter Religious Courtship by jobirash(m): 7:47am On Dec 16, 2008
Hello NL,
This is my second post script on this topic.
I actually enjoy your respond on the fisrt ont, the issue is an having a affair with a muslim gal and we want to get married by God's grace.
My question today is, what are the things you avoid in inter religious marriage and what are the things i should encourage.
i need help please before i go into it.

maybe you will get some troubles from the inter religious marriage at first,but please remember that there's only one true God and we are all his children.Since it is so,why not talk in harmony and know each other better?after communication,you will know what you two should avoid.

Bless you good luck!

I don't know how you get there. But if the two of you have withered the storm together to get here, then you must realize that the real battle is the battle of restraint, tolerance, and mutual understanding.

Since you found her a muslim and then decide to marry her like that, you must realize that when you get married, the temptation to exert your dominance will spring up. You will want to change her way.

I can assure you that if you attempt to force her to change, you will have trigger a conflict in your home. She will either resist you or begrudge you if she is forced.

The two of you must have inter religious dialogue from time to time. Both of you should focus on positive areas. Listen to her and let her listen to you without aiming at changing one another. The biggest mistake couples in such marriage made is trying to dominate the discusion with the view to win over the other. An adult have independent mind. He/she can change his/her confiction without anybody's prompting.

When you want to organize family prayer, both Alfa and pastor must be present, either together or seperately. But the two of you must be there! That doesn't mean you must go to mosque or she follow you to church. It is strictly family affair. I remember when my uncle kicked the bucket, similar arrangement was made. He was buried as his religion, islam, demanded. But his wife also brought her pastor to pray for him. The wife is xtain and he was muslim.

When you start having children is another phase. I am sure you don't need that now. So I am skipping it. All I can tell you is that you can successfully manage that phase too.

For now, you are not yet married, so you should focus on the present challenge.

Cheers

The muslims trips for christian chicks and barely even go out with theirs, the thing ain't vice versa $ it's bad. These bees needs some real re-orientation to kno that it ain't just about the religion.
