My wife is Christian and i am hindu. we completed 25 years together and still in love with each other because we both have respect towards each others faith.
@@andrewdrewdrew1637 yes we have kids. They respect our religions. We are not very religious so for our kids religion was never a problem and if you talking about school education my both kids have a job and earning well.
I 100% agree with you. I'm a muslim myself and my boyfriend was christian. At first, we fell in love quickly, so we decided to give each other a chance because we got along so well and we had a special connection right at the beginning. But as time was passing, things started to change. I realized that I coudn't see myself in the future with him because we had different faiths and it was more problematic to me then what I wanted to admit to myself. We had common values that made us keep going, like we both wanted to wait until marriage, but how is marriage going to happen when we have different faiths ? I coudn't visualize my future family and raising my kids christian and he coudn't visualize his kids being muslims. One of us would feel like he has failed somewhere. This situation was very hard to handle, especially when feelings are involved. We were both very in love, and I was so afraid to hurt him, that I decided to ignore how I felt and kept going in the relationship. I questioned myself and my principles, thinking that I had to change but the choice of following my faith was always stronger. This situation made us wanting to get closer to God in both of our religions. I started praying 5 times a day, reading more on the prophet of islam, read books on islam and it made me feel so good each time. I felt a sense of peace in my heart and it felt so good considering how stressful this situation was to me. I chose my religion over a temporary love. Honestly, breaking up was very very hard, but we knew it was the best for both of us. I still deeply love and care about him, and I know it's the same on his side. we don't regret anything, we both know we met for a reason. We had deep respect for each other's religions, but we coudn't go further together. Advice to anyone facing the same situation : if this person is not the one, you have to accept it. If God accepts your request of being with this person, he's gonna make everything easy to you, but if he judges that he/she's not the right one for you, the situation will seem impossible, even if you keep trying or always try to find a solution. Things aren't fully under your control, especially when it comes to the one you're gonna marry and you have to accept it. That was our case and we're both trying to move on. Good luck to everyone reading this comment and I truly wish you the best !
wow... it is do deep. My dealing right now, After more than 2 years we've been together my bf (Christian) finally said that he doesn't want to convert to my religion (Muslim), it really hurt me before he said that when we get married he wants to convert. Now, we on the stage that should we not give up each other or.... :( we are really open minded and respect each other. This is a tough situation..
@@vica9239 I can see how hard that is for you… the best advice I can give you is to follow your heart. See what your priorities are and act on them! Good luck 💜
@@MelissaTem your story was the same story as mine, but right now i'm on the stage that I'm crying a lot to accept this, I just beenb1 week passed since we had broken up, It is still painful to take. But yea, I did the same thing as yours to bringing even close to my Faith, I even try to read over his beliefs JW's (Jehovah Witness) sorry that I had mistaken before. The more I read it the more I had a pain in my heart. I just wanting time to healing. I realize that our relationship stick in Dynamite, it just matter of time to blow. For people who in our situation right now, you are strong!! thanks for your story. ❤
having to end things because of this one difference is one of the worst thing that can happen to any couple.. you love each other deeply but life just won’t let you
I am married and my wife her religion is different and we feel perfect, the most important thing is the integration and alignment everything before marriage.
@@irem5653 I have 2 kids and I am in interfaith marriage. Trust me save kids from both religions when they are young. Cause they will believe ANYTHING. When they turn 11 or 12 they are free to decide which religion they are going to follow and that is fine. They are free spirits. Mine are 9 and 10 and they still aren't thought about any type of religion. My husband and I are both fine with that
1000% agree because unfortunately that’s what I’m going through right now. My husband grew up Muslim, converted to Christianity for a few years after he met me, seemed really into the religion (I’m Christian and NEVER forced him to even talk about the religion because I never believed it would be sincere) but then while he was practicing Christianity, he proposed. We got married and not even a year into the marriage he tells me he’s returning to the Muslim faith. Ladies….please just marry someone who is on the same page as you BEFORE meeting you, whatever that means for you. The heartbreak isn’t worth it. Just know your heart will be broken every time you go to church and see a husband with his arm draped around his wife. Everytime there’s a couples retreat to help marriages. Everytime you’re down in life and you need someone to pray with you. You’re gonna be alone A LOT. And you’re going to end up wishing that you were in fact actually just alone.
The truth no one must ask his partner to convert against their will, I've seen a lot of Christian and Hindu women leave muslim men, because in "most"(not all) cases, after marriage, she's forced to convert and her choices and career are not respected.
U are from India your intention is clear you only wanna blame Muslims.. I have a question how many Muslim and Christian women got force conversation to Hindu religion by marriage I know about India a lot .. I see many Muslim Christian women gets force conversation to Hindu religion .. but you are accusing lie's here. U are racist and anti Muslim I know many people like you
Not always. I have a friend that is was baptized as Ortodox Christian but she descovered Muslim religion along her journey in life and she felt it spoke to her soul. Therefore she decided to become Muslin. Her family is Christian. She was Muslim before her marriage to a Muslim man. She married a Muslim man because for her it was equally important that her soulmate would love her and be a Muslim man. She is happy in her marriage. And her husband actually lives with her in Romania. Eventually her family accepted her choice regarding both fath and love. By the way my friend still works evan after her marriage. Remember to not judge people based on religion. I personally don't consider myself a religious person but a spiritual person that believes in God. I don't feel like I have to belong to a certain religion to have faith in God. Each human being is different and all of us are deserving of respect.
yep , and I'd like to generalize the rule , do NOT marry someone whose core values are different than yours , just to avoid the conflict (for instance , a feminist shouldn't marry a conservative etc)
This only matters if someone's Religion means everything to them and they live their life by it. Not for those who aren't that religious. This was a great video btw. Thank you for sharing your perspective. 💖
@@antigonarosaura7845 no,it will be disastrous. It will be a only good relationship if your partner care about you so much that will not dare to hurt you. I have seen many marriage and as they get older,they say meanest thing to their partners.
I feel like this video really was for me. My bf of 5 yrs is a taoist and Im a christian and his parents are building temples while my dad is a pastor. I seriously don't even know what would be the probability of this happening but it did happen and because we are so attached we are both just trying to ignore the fact that it's not going to work out. I really want to get married to him and just the thought of us moving on and finding different spouses makes me feel so tormented and distressed. We both tried vainly to convert each other but both of us are so grounded in our faith that we just couldnt come to a conclusion on what we should do. Honestly, his faith is not as strong as mine and he does not mind 'compromising' and marrying me but only if we are able to get his parents' blessings and that just seems like an unreachable goal. I feel like in my head I know that there isn't anything we really can do about this but because Im just stuck in this situation not making any move, because forgoing my religion is unimaginable but letting him go is just way too painful. All Im doing now is rly just praying and seeking help from God that if he is the one, then let us have parents' blessings and be happily wed, if he's not the one, then please give me the strength to let go of him or just stop loving him
Im in the exact same situation..I know we will find a voice and peace in Christ through our prayer, you and I. We’ll get through this, know that if you walk away from him, God will have you, he will take care of you, we cant even imagine the plans he has for us…I know letting something so good go feels so wrong. The best thing you can do is sit down with your pastor and figure out what some defining boundaries are for you..that will make it so much easier to make a decision if you know he cant compromise for those..Plus once its out on the table it makes the topic a bit less scary..and maybe assigned a day of the week to ask eachother about religion..or a time of the month to dive into eachothers faith. Or stories about it. Get to know your partner..dont hide what you think may ruin the relationship behind a thick curtain, because then you truly would be compromising your love for this faith for the man you also love so deeply, if you loves you..which I know he does, he will be interested in your stories and testimonies. Your walk..just make sure to..even though it feels wrong, to encourage his aswell
Religion is fake but your natural tribal ethnicity is true.. to preserve is the tribe not the religion.. religious and god's ideology is the must to be abolished completely...
ABSOLUTELY! thank you for saying this. It's really simple: if you're ok with compromising your faith, then you're probably not serious enough about it for this to be a big deal, but if you would not compromise in the area of your faith because it is important to you, than don't let someone talk you into rationalizing things and compromising in the one thing that is the most important to you: your faith. two horses pulling a carriage must be 100% headed in the same exact direction. not 180 degrees difference, not 20 degrees difference. not even 1 degree difference. Maybe .01 degree difference is manageable, but you better agree on the essentials. PERIOD
Break up before its too late, my gf’s religion is different from mine, at the moment she is pregnant and i am happy to be a father and i wanna take my responsibility but her parents does not approve us. They require us to do all those things to force me to believe their religion. Right now im super stressed and starting to regret. I knew this kind of things might happen so i broke up with my gf 2 times in the past. She convinced that me she would change her beliefs, and i naively believed her. In the end i dont know what to do, i wanna be father and have happy family and all but i dont think thats gonna happen. So whoever is reading this break up before its too late.
I respect your opinion but you should've also pointed out the positives of inter religion marriages and most importantly, when you said you see a lot of disconnect bw such couples, please also point out the disconnect in faithful Christian marriages because a lot of them aren't successful too. It's not about religion, humans are imperfect. This fact does not favor a particular religion. In every religion you'll see failures in marriage. Instead, you should promote love and open mindedness. I am a Hindu and I believe in lord Jesus Christ as our savior. Being able to recognise God's love outside just your religion is true faith. We're just divided because of history and the worst thing is using religion as means to create more separation and division. A true Christian would not say to someone from another religion that if not my way then hell. He/She will recognise God's love and encourage him to find it in his own beliefs and respect that. This is just suger coated hate and division. This is not what God wants.
I am a Muslim religious woman and I can understand what you are talking about , changing someone’s whole life and traditions is an interference not in a good way, unless they really want to convert to this religion
@@antigonarosaura7845 sure you can love. go ahead tie yourself two two horses, one that goes one direction, the other one going the other direction. see how it works out.
I agree, religious people can go for interfaith marriage only when they don't keep religion as their number 1 priority. This can only happen when they are liberal on such issues.
In my experience I've seen marriages that end up in divorce after the wife (usuallyChristian or non-muslim) doesn't intend to convert to Islam and that happened years into the marriage with children onboard, let alone disagreements that regards circumcision or name choice that usually has to be compromised.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh True, there was a deceptive element in those examples as the man moved to a new country; but still, I agree that the message is valid regardless of the setting.
I totally agree with you on this.If they have different references it wont work no matter how much they try. I have seen tons of cases . Getting stronger the little one mashaa Allah
I just want to encourage everyone here that please have true faith and one pointed devotion to your respective religions but do not become fanatics. This fanaticism which sounds so nice and sweet most of the times has resulted in unimaginable horrors and wars in the past which eventually led to us being divided like this. God loves everyone irrespective of religion and every religion has different forms and understandings of the same God. Try to learn more about each other's faith and love it. Being a Hindu, I love reading the Bible and I am truly in love with Jesus our savior. But it doesn't mean I should hate Krishna and say that he's the lie of the Devil. Please use your understanding because that's why God gave you a free will. Love and respect him in every way, if one talks about the opposite and is on the wrong path then pray for him. Help him, but do not make it worse. Thank you, Jesus loves you.
It all depends on how religious the individual is. I'm not a religious person but have dated Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Africana religious practioners. If that person doesn't allow their own personal spiritual beliefs to cloud their ability to the greatness in you, then go for it.
The woman is saying people who are from different religion who have faith in it. She also mentioned that this message is not applicable for all.. I feel she is right..
I am Catholic, my husband is a Jordanian Muslim. We've been married for 10 years, I'm older and divorced and you're 100% wrong and close minded. We're both very religious, I go to church every week, he prays 5 times a day and goes to Masjid and we have ZERO marriage problems. Sorry sweetie, you're young and know very little about life.
In defence to this young lady, she's most likely going off of personal or witnessed experience through friends/ family etc. I'm happy your marriage is working. Personally, I'm christian with a pretty much athiest boyfriend. After 5 years, and me strengthening my faith, it's harder than ever. Somehow it feels like I'm being mocked. We communicate a lot, so he knows my feelings, but we come to dead end conversations too.. I think general values are most important if anything! Believing in a higher being at least! I think it's harder with an atheist, because they have no motivation to believe in anything at all. Everything is logic, and they usually think they know everything as a human..
Great video my husband and I are from two different religions but it actually works out very well for the both of us we both enjoy understanding each other’s religions and see how the two religions are actually really similar I don’t think I could’ve married a man who’s identifies with my religion for some reason I’ve just always liked people who are different than me
I'm the same. My boyfriend is agnostic and I'm Muslim but I'm not that religious. I also like dating people who are from different cultures and religions. Idk why. 😂
Religious is a total difference from being and living born again . Being born again would not have that perspectives of enjoying both religions. Its picking and choosing idols and making the relationship an idol because it is put before God and His Word. That means it's SIN and PRIDE what no one want to hear about but live to be happy their OWN WAY.
For me relationship with God really matters, religion has brainwashed people big times. My aim is to get to see God in heaven not to belong to a certain religion. I believe if you really look deeper on Muslim and Christian both have almost same virtues.
Whem we married we were not converted. After 15 years into marriage I converted born-again Christian but my wife did not. As a result we now have a very difficult time.
I totally agree with you. I had men from other religions who got attracted with me. Because I feel strong connection with my religion, I ran for the hills.
This video is just for me now. So first I married my husband because he’s a Catholic and we share the same belief just two years in marriage. Now he has been gaslighted and he has changed to a different church which is affecting me so bad because his belief is now different from mine. We can’t even pray together because our prayer pattern now differs. I feel so tired and everyday with so much disagreements. This isn’t easy and I don’t think I can deal with it because there’s no more unity….because two can’t work together unless they agree. Now we are two different people
According to Islam, a man can marry a woman from other religions, provided that it is from holy books. However, it is not recommended for the reasons you mentioned.Islam accepts the Bible, the Prophet Jesus and the Virgin Mary. There is no problem in this regard.From Turkey with love.
The fifth verse of Maide Sura makes muslim man lawful to marry Jewish and Christian women.It is stated in this verse that Muslim men can marry the women with any holy book, but it isn't clarified whether muslim women can marry the people with any holy book. But it is clear that a biblical man is different from the one who does not believe.So, we are close to each other. Maybe it can be cultural. With love from Turkey.
Muslim women are more pure. These Christian women claim to love Mary, mother of Jesus, but they don't even cover themselves or follow her example. Look at them in their churches they sing dance mix with other men show their legs and cleavage. If Mary was alive today she would not want anything to do with these women.
I'm not Christian, but according to the Bible, from Corinthians, that a person can marry a person who doesn't believe. At least man can, according to them this is the quote: "If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy." So when Christians talk about not being with someone because they don't believe, I think they forget that quote.
I can understand your reasoning, and it is true to some degree, actually it depends on how educated the couples are and open. I know a lot of couples who are from different faiths and they just match perfectly. Though, as a rule of thumb, your advice is true.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh even it would be heart breaking for me too. To know your love one is on wrong path and would end up in not in a eternal blessed place.
you have no idea what you're talking about. I know many extremely well educated people but who are extremely serious about their faith. I'm pretty well educated as is my wife also but for us, marriage to someone of a different faith would be a huge constant torture. Imagine, there is this part of you that is the absolute most important to you. It is literally the purpose of your life , yet that's the exact part that you cannot share with your life partner because they have a completely different purpose in their life that runs totally against yours. I don't think you understand the difference between "religious tradition" and actually "LIVING YOUR FAITH" ah yes you probably think people like myself take their faiths too seriously. yeah well we think you're not serious enough.
I wish God would have created only “one” religion with name “humanity”. So that “all” humans could decide freely to marry or love whomsoever they want. This religion actually divides more then bring people together with its dogmatic views. First question I would like to ask God when I die is , please tell the world humanity was YOUR main idea and rest were just man made labels.
I think it's certainly possible, but it requires a full faith introspection, shared or not, for both husband and wife. Often however these are difficult things to overcome, but it's a challenge that is worthy of two truly loving souls. Though of course it's difficult to change ones foundation, I feel from my experience that Muslims having evidenced verses of faith are more open to such deep self evaluation, though Christans, with much respect, have more difficulty opening the door of self-criticism.
That's very interesting! I've actually noticed the opposite. That Muslims blindly believe what the Imams tell them and are taught not to question it. As a Christian, I've always been taught to seek truth and that has always led me back to Christianity.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh I really appreciate that! The requirement to be a truth seeker is what really counts! I'm happy you're proud of your faith. What truths have always led you back sister?
@@SarahPullenShehadeh What some imams say is not the actual islam though. the actual islam is what quran says. and in quran the first order that god ever sent was '' read, read for the name of Allah that created everything'' which actually shows what islam 'thinks' about seeking and questioning the truth. Some imams actually thinks that saying that kinda things spreads islam but it really is makes people think and know wrong about it. and they actually really harms it. and by the way, I agree with your thoughts about marriage, and it's not just about beliefs being different, but about different things people value
I want to be with someone Muslim, but I'm not attracted to a lot of muslim guys. Physically or just by their character. Besides that, I'm in a city with many Atheists. Time is ticking and I'm trying my best to wait for Mr. Right.
Absolutely true. For a successful marriage you should never marry a follower of another religion. Because that will cause you to give your loyalty to other Gods. If you are a Christian, always marry another Christian, but it can be someone from another country and from another race. But both partners should be devoted Christians. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
If the religion itself conditions you to convert the other, it will most likely tend to fail. This is especially truth if the religion is really restrictive, such as Islam. Best case scenario is divorce but more often than not is bound to get worst than just that.
Why are you talking like Christians are not conditions to convert other people... just read through this comment section? And why are you guys always slandering lying and demonize Muslims and Islam 24/7? Does the promotion of Christianity depends on opposing Islam with lies?
This is exactly me and my boyfriend him being a member of Iglesia ni Kristo since birth from his parents religion and me being a not so devout catholic converted many years ago then due to the conflict of my job schedule and the worships schedule they worship twice a week I can't go to their church anymore. I converted when I was 19 years old in 2015 and I was shunned and excommunicated in 2019 but their church have a rule that a member will get kick out and shunned if they marry a non member or excommunicated partner. He and I has been in a relationship since 2014 and this year 2024 we talked about marriage but since I was already a non member I have to go through learn the church doctrine again and I heard that not all ex-members who went back was accepted into the church and I don't accept their church doctrine anyway because there are so many rules and so strict it acts like mormon but different name and in my country the Philippines so we plan to break up even after so many years of being in a relationship.
I agree with you. I am not reæigious but I believe that couples who have similar background and life philosophy have better chance of success than those who dont.
Don’t marry someone within your religion who is more liberal or conservative in how they practice than you. It can get real messy, especially if you have children.
ah yes, so if someone actually takes their faith seriously they're labeled "fundamentalist"... hmm yeah. stay away from them. go marry some floofy person who doesn't know what the heck they believe.
My boyfriend is an atheist and I am a Christian woman. I love him very much and will never shove Christianity down his throat. We are not the only ones. Deal
You are definitely entitled to your own opinion, even if it is different than mine. But if I may say so, your comment seems emotionally charged. Why is that?
@@SarahPullenShehadeh I appreciate you noticing my difference of opinion. I responded emotionally Bc I had a lot of people tell my bf that he should see god, or had a lot of people ask me why he doesn’t come to my bible studies or church with me. My bf has had a lot of bad experiences happen to him that was a big influence on his faith. We made an agreement from the first time that we met to not influence on each other’s beliefs. What our relationship does well is that we are able to listen to each other’s different belief system and grown a lot from our stories.
@@tracemagace8434 wow I see you being single forever (since you don’t open up to other peoples viewpoints and what not). And that’s funny Bc I’m in my twenties- I have to think about my career and future first before marriage ;). (PS we’re still together since I posted this)
hey BlackPinkLuv, so you say you're a christian huh? do you actually believe what the Bible teaches? or do you just pick and choose which parts you like in the Bible? Do you even care what Jesus wants you to do? Do you know what Jesus tells you to do in 2nd Corinthians 6:14? It says don't marry atheists! so how about you grow up and read the Bible before you make idiotic comments. Atheists and Christians are 100% incompattible. end of story.
What if they both oppose eachother's beliefs strongly and disagree strongly? Both on morals, politics and religion. They disagree how to raise their son, but they have 1 child together so far.
My boyfriend was a christian and im a hindu , he said he loved me, but when the topic of marriage came he broke up lol, if u were so against dating a non Christian. I am not very religious, i mean im not a ardent or a staunch hindu. i just gave devotion towards krishna but that doesnt mean i dont love jesus, i like christianity too.i love to go to church,and i often do, i even celebrate festivals with my friends, celebrated by Christian communities in my area and yeah jesus is definitely the savior of our souls and someone who forgave our sins, i respect christianity a lot but i cant convert myself to christianity,i cant leave ny devotion for krishna and gita. Im an open minded person and i was ready for an interfaith relationship but if he was not why ask me to date him?
@@S.ENTERTENMENT no, we broke up within a week. And I decided either I would be in a relationship with my own countrymen , within my culture, or with someone who is not related to any religion, atheist, agnostic, pantheist, anyone, but not with a religious, I love to celebrate festivals and participate I different cultural programmes,i can accept others ' beleifs but I can't tolerate someone constantly poking me about me going to eternal hell, this is disturbing.
@@srijitachatterjee8011 sister every Christian is not like your ex boyfriend.many Christian is marry to Hindu without converting .my friend is Christian and she's marry to Hindu without converting .so everybody not same. you found any other open minded guy she's not try to converting to yoy
I think your talking from your own personal experience. If that person bring joy and happiness to your life and you get along well religion shouldn’t matter. The only problem I see with different faith together is the parents getting involved in the kids relationship
Saying dont marry someone from different religion because of cultural differences is like saying dont marry someone from a different country. In my option cultural differences that comes from different countries of ethnicity are much stronger then religious ones. Also you lumped all Christian and other religious groups as one single groups. That is so wrong. Even tough they are all Christian, there are major differences between Mormon's, Baptists, Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox practices. Same goes for Islam (Shia and Sunni) and Jews (Haredim, traditionalist and secular).
good, I hope she's smart enough to deepen her faith and never mary outside of her faith. it would be a foolish step for her. no amount of your "love" for her could overcome her knowledge that the two of you will spend eternity in two very different places and yours will be very hot and the AC will be broken
I fell in love with the most beautiful soul I ever met. We have so unbelievable much in common and connect on so many levels but he is an Hindu and I am an messianic Jew. There is the main problem if I think of our future. 😥 I can’t marry an Hindu, this I know. Not because it’s strictly forbidden but I know deep in my heart I could not live with someone in one house where are other Gods like pictures ect. It would be a great No for me because I know this affects and weakens me spiritually. But the one most important thing that I would miss the most is: that we can’t pray together and make God the foundation of our life. That’s a huge hurt and I think as much as I love him... I shouldn’t do this. 😢🥺 We don’t want children because I already have already children that live their own life and he doesn’t want children but I know despite all of the things we have in common, the relationship wouldn’t work because of the different religions. Think it even would be easier if he would be a nonbeliever. 😣
What a terribly difficult decision to make. . . But we always have to be honest with ourselves before entering marriage. God bless you! May God send the right one to you.
I'm a teenager, I love a boy from another religion. But I'm sure that my and his family will not accept us. And it hurts. Bc he loves me very much and i love him too. And we are much worried about our future. Both of us are working hard to get good grades but we are actually sad and depressed 😞. I don't know what to do now💔
Interfaith feels vry romantic to me normal marriages are so boring....instead of fighting over same shitty like normal couples do it would be great to know more about each other their beliefs, &arguing on some unique .
go tie yourself to a horse and a cow that want to go in different directions and then let us know how that works out for yourself. Or maybe just grow up and get over your idiotic romantic notions. There is nothing romantic about not being able to share the deepest, most intimate part of your soul, the lover of your soul with your partner because he is in love with another being and cannot understand what He means to you. some of these answers are so incredibly immature.
very well said. outta curiosity, is your husband (assuming from the name) a convert from islam or an arab christian? the latter of which are unbeknownst to a lotta people are actually plentiful esp in Palestine and Lebanon
I wanted to thank you so much for this video … it’s helped me find peace in the will God is wanting for me and for the future of me and the one I care about and that in the huge life decisions I will be making I. The future .. that both of our futures are in full consideration 💖🥺
It's all fun until you get children. For me celebrating Christmas is totally not done because it's against the basics of tawheed. With no children I can just leave the home. But if I would have children with a Christian we would both have a problem because for me it's a big sin and for her it is a big good thing. Only worshiping God is the main difference between Islam and other religions while Christians also pray to Jesus and other religions pray to even more God's. If you convert to Islam and in prayer and when you die you say: I testify that there is no God worthy of worship but Allah, and I testify that Mohammed (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is his messenger. *I testify that there is no God worthy of worship but Allah* is the main issue. Because any act of worship to someone else than Allah is shirk. People are willing to sin for each other but people who understand what shirk is will never purposely commit shirk. So that will be the main problem
Yes, raising children makes it very complicated and differences that have been ignored come to the surface quickly when a couple has to decide how to raise their children. . . .Regarding theological differences between Islam and Christianity, they go both ways. Christian theology is blasphemy to Muslims, and Islamic theology is heresy to Christians.
Your opinion is wrong because look at how many divorce from the same religion...equally, look at how high Christian divorces are in the USA now. Even ministers are divorcing these days when that was once so rare. Welcome to USA
Listen you, I am an LDS married to a non. It depends on people ok?! You hit it when you said "in my opinion". Religions ONLY divide people. If you really love a person you accept her as she is, and her values, and beliefs. Cheers
hmm you don't make very much sense. Marriage is not just about LOVE, it is about working together TOWARD THE SAME GOALS. if you want to East but your partner is pulling you towards West, you will get tired of fighting him and you will loose that cute little "loving feeling" very quickly. maybe you should think a little more deeply than the silly "lovey dovey" ideas you seem to have
Yeah 😢 I feel like there would be jealousy and competition in which parent will be able to bring their kid to their religion. What if there are five kids and they have different religions due to the parents or they get so confused that they become atheist
well, yeah maybe I should make a video that says "marrying a person of a different faith is not a good idea, but marrying a muslim is downright insane!" I know this for a fact. Happened in my own family, It did NOT end well, nor was it pretty. Stay the heck away from muslims no matter how "nice" they are.
@@greendesert69 What a entrenched bias and prejudice! Your disdain and vitriol comments against Muslims throughout this comment section as if all Muslims are a monolith says more about you.
@@aminaaden2921 oh for pete's sake. All I am saying is that christianity and other faiths are 100% incompatible. PERIOD. they cannot all be true because they believe opposing things. I never said that Islam is any kind of monolith but certainly Christianity IS a monolith. there is ONE TRUE christianity (the one that follows what the Bible says). and the Bible clearly says that Christians are under NO circumstance allowed to marry or be partners with people of any other faith. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 So I don't care what the Quran says. This clearly tells me that we are not compatible with the others so you can believe whatever you want, but the truth doesn't change.
this women loves bashing Muslims. I think she needs to look at her own community and see how they badly they treat women etc .always critical and hate won't get you anywhere !
@@sweetalison007 My statement was an honest observation of this particular video of hers. How do you define bashing and what did she say that you think was bashing? Christians and Muslims are allowed to respectfully disagree with one another. After all, Christianity is blasphemy to Muslims and Islam is heresy to Christians.
@@sweetalison007 I agree with you! I was confused by the question marks at the end of your first statement. I thought you meant that it was crazy to think that she didn't bash Islam! 😉
you are very critical of islam and have so many misconceptions about Muslims and islam.please do real research .get a copy of a quran and have a read .
Let’s put the different religion aside and talk about the Christian community, in the Christian community we still have doctrines, different way of worship even though we are worshiping God some families will frown on you marrying from a particular church because they feel they don’t share the same idealogy with your church. JW for instance they don’t marry outside their church even though we are all Christians.
Yes, there are many differences within faiths, and each person has to decide what they're willing to be flexible about. I just wanted to clarify that Jehovah Witnesses are not Christians just because they read the Bible. They don't call themselves Christians. When they meet Christians, they try to convert us to their religion.
@@rashidah9307 what is fundamentally wrong with the religion is the fact that they demand from people to refuse blood transfusions, bone marrow transplant, organe transplants. Not supporting this for me means to be against saving human lives and in general against healthcare. Any religion that is against saving lives is just irrational in my point of view. I was bathized as Christian Orthodox and although (but I consider miself a spiritual free person that truly believes in God yet I don't feel the need to belong to any religion and personal faith is enough) the religion is in many aspects old fashioned yet it can clearly be said that it doesn't have absurd rules against saving human lives.
@@leliavoinea9402 yes, I understand your points. I definitely believe that people should have the freedom to choose life-saving treatments like blood transfusions and organ transplants.
JWs are not christians so that's not a good example. within the Christian faith, there are matters of CORE FAITH beliefs and SECONDARY beliefs. Core faith: -GENUINE REPENTANCE -GENUINE NEW BIRTH -God is 3 persons in 1 -Bible is the inerrant Word of God -Salvation by faith ONLY etc... Secondary beliefs -cessationism vs continuationism -views on alcohol - worship styles etc There can be absolutely NO COMPROMISE on core faith beliefs. There can sometimes be compromise on secondary beliefs, although it is generally wiser to agree on those too. A baptist and a pentecostal for example might be able to be on the same page on core beliefs, but a baptist and a catholic are simply NOT going to be on the same page. Catholics don't believe in salvation by faith only (they believe it's faith, tradition and church), and don't understand being born again the same way.
Thanks for u video, I’d like to highlight that understanding and know each is very vital prior to marriage and I partially agree with you it will be difficult continue the marriage if they don’t make a road map for their live prior marriage I totally believe that love make miracles but sometimes brutal facts come up with new challenges especially after kids come and it seems difficult to raise a kid with different parents religions.
Will i think you need to educate yourself about different religions then you will come up with different point of view. It's not wrong to marry a different religion man when you study his religion. There are a lot of similar things between Islam and christianity. The only thing you need to do is study both of them you will feel too much closer to other people. People always afraid of the unknown,but once it becomes known it will be more comfortable to live and share things like marriage. Regards
Christianity is not the same as Islam. Jesus is the Son of God and not a Prophet as Muslims believe. Jesus is the Saviour of our souls who forgives sins and saved us from eternal damnation. We believe in the Trinity and Muslims don't. Jesus died on the Cross for the forgiveness of sins of humanity, Muslims don't believe that
@@gagaprada8768 yes, i would say the same . I can't stop marriages from different religions, Christianity don't mind Islam don't mind too , but Islam mad some rules for this , Still i can say we need to educate our selves to reach to the truth. In USA or in any different country this kind of marriage is happening. So we don't have to say to people who they have to marry.
A romantic relationship in general will never fully satisfy. I love my husband, but he is not my source of fulfillment. My relationship with God is where my fulfillment comes from.
You are sick in the hospital, you are a Christian, your spouse is ungodly, he won't pray for you even when you are dying. A cold equation. No further. Ungodly oppresses your faith, you can't sing Christian songs or pray out loud or listen to sermons, doesn't work. You cannot be at home with your faith.

Hi, do you have Kids? How did you manage their education?

@@vynria nope no conversion but we both try our best to participate in each others culture and religion. Respect is necessary.
@@vynria i dont know about muslim(i an hindu) but there is many muslim celebrities married with Christian. David Bowie for example
I 100% agree with you. I'm a muslim myself and my boyfriend was christian. At first, we fell in love quickly, so we decided to give each other a chance because we got along so well and we had a special connection right at the beginning. But as time was passing, things started to change. I realized that I coudn't see myself in the future with him because we had different faiths and it was more problematic to me then what I wanted to admit to myself. We had common values that made us keep going, like we both wanted to wait until marriage, but how is marriage going to happen when we have different faiths ? I coudn't visualize my future family and raising my kids christian and he coudn't visualize his kids being muslims. One of us would feel like he has failed somewhere. This situation was very hard to handle, especially when feelings are involved. We were both very in love, and I was so afraid to hurt him, that I decided to ignore how I felt and kept going in the relationship. I questioned myself and my principles, thinking that I had to change but the choice of following my faith was always stronger. This situation made us wanting to get closer to God in both of our religions. I started praying 5 times a day, reading more on the prophet of islam, read books on islam and it made me feel so good each time. I felt a sense of peace in my heart and it felt so good considering how stressful this situation was to me. I chose my religion over a temporary love. Honestly, breaking up was very very hard, but we knew it was the best for both of us. I still deeply love and care about him, and I know it's the same on his side. we don't regret anything, we both know we met for a reason. We had deep respect for each other's religions, but we coudn't go further together. Advice to anyone facing the same situation : if this person is not the one, you have to accept it. If God accepts your request of being with this person, he's gonna make everything easy to you, but if he judges that he/she's not the right one for you, the situation will seem impossible, even if you keep trying or always try to find a solution. Things aren't fully under your control, especially when it comes to the one you're gonna marry and you have to accept it. That was our case and we're both trying to move on.
Good luck to everyone reading this comment and I truly wish you the best !
wow... it is do deep. My dealing right now, After more than 2 years we've been together my bf (Christian) finally said that he doesn't want to convert to my religion (Muslim), it really hurt me before he said that when we get married he wants to convert. Now, we on the stage that should we not give up each other or.... :( we are really open minded and respect each other. This is a tough situation..
@@vica9239 I can see how hard that is for you… the best advice I can give you is to follow your heart. See what your priorities are and act on them! Good luck 💜
@@MelissaTem your story was the same story as mine, but right now i'm on the stage that I'm crying a lot to accept this, I just beenb1 week passed since we had broken up, It is still painful to take. But yea, I did the same thing as yours to bringing even close to my Faith, I even try to read over his beliefs JW's (Jehovah Witness) sorry that I had mistaken before.

OVERSEAS ANDALEEB thank you for watching!
No, you can be religious and have an interfaith family.
1000% agree because unfortunately that’s what I’m going through right now. My husband grew up Muslim, converted to Christianity for a few years after he met me, seemed really into the religion (I’m Christian and NEVER forced him to even talk about the religion because I never believed it would be sincere) but then while he was practicing Christianity, he proposed. We got married and not even a year into the marriage he tells me he’s returning to the Muslim faith. Ladies….please just marry someone who is on the same page as you BEFORE meeting you, whatever that means for you. The heartbreak isn’t worth it. Just know your heart will be broken every time you go to church and see a husband with his arm draped around his wife. Everytime there’s a couples retreat to help marriages. Everytime you’re down in life and you need someone to pray with you. You’re gonna be alone A LOT. And you’re going to end up wishing that you were in fact actually just alone.

The truth no one must ask his partner to convert against their will, I've seen a lot of Christian and Hindu women leave muslim men, because in "most"(not all) cases, after marriage, she's forced to convert and her choices and career are not respected.
U are from India your intention is clear you only wanna blame Muslims.. I have a question how many Muslim and Christian women got force conversation to Hindu religion by marriage I know about India a lot .. I see many Muslim Christian women gets force conversation to Hindu religion .. but you are accusing lie's here. U are racist and anti Muslim I know many people like you
@@Underworld121 just refer some facts dear
@@shrey3941
May be some of them but not all.
Not always. I have a friend that is was baptized as Ortodox Christian but she descovered Muslim religion along her journey in life and she felt it spoke to her soul. Therefore she decided to become Muslin. Her family is Christian.
She was Muslim before her marriage to a Muslim man. She married a Muslim man because for her it was equally important that her soulmate would love her and be a Muslim man. She is happy in her marriage. And her husband actually lives with her in Romania. Eventually her family accepted her choice regarding both fath and love. By the way my friend still works evan after her marriage.
Remember to not judge people based on religion. I personally don't consider myself a religious person but a spiritual person that believes in God. I don't feel like I have to belong to a certain religion to have faith in God. Each human being is different and all of us are deserving of respect.
If the 2 couples dont care about religion but are from 2 different religion , the marriage will work but if they are both religious , it wont work !
yep , and I'd like to generalize the rule , do NOT marry someone whose core values are different than yours , just to avoid the conflict (for instance , a feminist shouldn't marry a conservative etc)
touta tou yes that’s probably a good way to think about it.
This only matters if someone's Religion means everything to them and they live their life by it.
Not for those who aren't that religious. This was a great video btw. Thank you for sharing your perspective. 💖
Even if religion matters to you, you can have an interfaith marriage.

@@thomaskennedy5728 If you care for each other, it can happen.
I feel like this video really was for me. My bf of 5 yrs is a taoist and Im a christian and his parents are building temples while my dad is a pastor. I seriously don't even know what would be the probability of this happening but it did happen and because we are so attached we are both just trying to ignore the fact that it's not going to work out. I really want to get married to him and just the thought of us moving on and finding different spouses makes me feel so tormented and distressed. We both tried vainly to convert each other but both of us are so grounded in our faith that we just couldnt come to a conclusion on what we should do. Honestly, his faith is not as strong as mine and he does not mind 'compromising' and marrying me but only if we are able to get his parents' blessings and that just seems like an unreachable goal. I feel like in my head I know that there isn't anything we really can do about this but because Im just stuck in this situation not making any move, because forgoing my religion is unimaginable but letting him go is just way too painful. All Im doing now is rly just praying and seeking help from God that if he is the one, then let us have parents' blessings and be happily wed, if he's not the one, then please give me the strength to let go of him or just stop loving him
Don't try to convert eachother. Also you are adults, you don't need any parents permision to get married.
Im in the exact same situation..I know we will find a voice and peace in Christ through our prayer, you and I. We’ll get through this, know that if you walk away from him, God will have you, he will take care of you, we cant even imagine the plans he has for us…I know letting something so good go feels so wrong. The best thing you can do is sit down with your pastor and figure out what some defining boundaries are for you..that will make it so much easier to make a decision if you know he cant compromise for those..Plus once its out on the table it makes the topic a bit less scary..and maybe assigned a day of the week to ask eachother about religion..or a time of the month to dive into eachothers faith. Or stories about it. Get to know your partner..dont hide what you think may ruin the relationship behind a thick curtain, because then you truly would be compromising your love for this faith for the man you also love so deeply, if you loves you..which I know he does, he will be interested in your stories and testimonies. Your walk..just make sure to..even though it feels wrong, to encourage his aswell
Any updates on the relationship by any chance? I'm in a very similar situation christian and jewish couple 😢 I don't know what to do...
I completely agree. Not just same faith, but same flavor of that faith, and same commitment as well.
Agreed! There are other "christians" that I probably wouldn't have fit well with them in marriage.
Y keep looking fr yr flavor AH
Religion is fake but your natural tribal ethnicity is true.. to preserve is the tribe not the religion.. religious and god's ideology is the must to be abolished completely...
I agree with you 100%, but you're statement is missing.
It should be "Don't "Don't Marry Someone From a Different Religion
if you are religious".
That may be true.
ABSOLUTELY! thank you for saying this. It's really simple: if you're ok with compromising your faith, then you're probably not serious enough about it for this to be a big deal, but if you would not compromise in the area of your faith because it is important to you, than don't let someone talk you into rationalizing things and compromising in the one thing that is the most important to you: your faith. two horses pulling a carriage must be 100% headed in the same exact direction. not 180 degrees difference, not 20 degrees difference. not even 1 degree difference. Maybe .01 degree difference is manageable, but you better agree on the essentials. PERIOD
Well said. 100% agree.
Break up before its too late, my gf’s religion is different from mine, at the moment she is pregnant and i am happy to be a father and i wanna take my responsibility but her parents does not approve us. They require us to do all those things to force me to believe their religion. Right now im super stressed and starting to regret. I knew this kind of things might happen so i broke up with my gf 2 times in the past. She convinced that me she would change her beliefs, and i naively believed her. In the end i dont know what to do, i wanna be father and have happy family and all but i dont think thats gonna happen. So whoever is reading this break up before its too late.
I'm in a similar situation. What did you end up doing if you don't mind my asking, please..
100% agree, it's easier for the people too get along with the same religion than different religion
Same religion and same race.
I respect your opinion but you should've also pointed out the positives of inter religion marriages and most importantly, when you said you see a lot of disconnect bw such couples, please also point out the disconnect in faithful Christian marriages because a lot of them aren't successful too. It's not about religion, humans are imperfect. This fact does not favor a particular religion. In every religion you'll see failures in marriage. Instead, you should promote love and open mindedness. I am a Hindu and I believe in lord Jesus Christ as our savior. Being able to recognise God's love outside just your religion is true faith. We're just divided because of history and the worst thing is using religion as means to create more separation and division. A true Christian would not say to someone from another religion that if not my way then hell. He/She will recognise God's love and encourage him to find it in his own beliefs and respect that. This is just suger coated hate and division. This is not what God wants.
I agree.
If you are serious about your religion then dont go for interfaith marriage
Bingo.
I am a Muslim religious woman and I can understand what you are talking about , changing someone’s whole life and traditions is an interference not in a good way, unless they really want to convert to this religion

@@greendesert69 It can work with help.
I agree, religious people can go for interfaith marriage only when they don't keep religion as their number 1 priority. This can only happen when they are liberal on such issues.
In my experience I've seen marriages that end up in divorce after the wife (usuallyChristian or non-muslim) doesn't intend to convert to Islam and that happened years into the marriage with children onboard, let alone disagreements that regards circumcision or name choice that usually has to be compromised.
Yes, I agree. The challenges often don't show up until children are involved.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh True, there was a deceptive element in those examples as the man moved to a new country; but still, I agree that the message is valid regardless of the setting.

I totally agree with you on this.If they have different references it wont work no matter how much they try. I have seen tons of cases . Getting stronger the little one mashaa Allah
Thank. you! Yes, coming from two different frames of reference can be difficult and disappointing in a marriage relationship.
I just want to encourage everyone here that please have true faith and one pointed devotion to your respective religions but do not become fanatics. This fanaticism which sounds so nice and sweet most of the times has resulted in unimaginable horrors and wars in the past which eventually led to us being divided like this. God loves everyone irrespective of religion and every religion has different forms and understandings of the same God. Try to learn more about each other's faith and love it. Being a Hindu, I love reading the Bible and I am truly in love with Jesus our savior. But it doesn't mean I should hate Krishna and say that he's the lie of the Devil. Please use your understanding because that's why God gave you a free will. Love and respect him in every way, if one talks about the opposite and is on the wrong path then pray for him. Help him, but do not make it worse. Thank you, Jesus loves you.
You are correct. The scripture counsels in the same manner. Very simply. Can two walk if they don't agree.
It all depends on how religious the individual is. I'm not a religious person but have dated Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Africana religious practioners. If that person doesn't allow their own personal spiritual beliefs to cloud their ability to the greatness in you, then go for it.
Marriage is about compatibility, not about an ability or inability to see the beauty in all different kinds of people.

@@marcelletorres7618 I have adult children from my first marriage who were raised Catholic.

In defence to this young lady, she's most likely going off of personal or witnessed experience through friends/ family etc. I'm happy your marriage is working. Personally, I'm christian with a pretty much athiest boyfriend. After 5 years, and me strengthening my faith, it's harder than ever. Somehow it feels like I'm being mocked. We communicate a lot, so he knows my feelings, but we come to dead end conversations too.. I think general values are most important if anything! Believing in a higher being at least! I think it's harder with an atheist, because they have no motivation to believe in anything at all. Everything is logic, and they usually think they know everything as a human..
Great video my husband and I are from two different religions but it actually works out very well for the both of us we both enjoy understanding each other’s religions and see how the two religions are actually really similar I don’t think I could’ve married a man who’s identifies with my religion for some reason I’ve just always liked people who are different than me
I'm glad it's working well for you. Can I ask what religions you each are?

@@urfas.1225 hello Urfa! For me I think I love to hear stories from my husband and I love the practice of traditions & holidays! It was nice chatting!
Religious is a total difference from being and living born again . Being born again would not have that perspectives of enjoying both religions. Its picking and choosing idols and making the relationship an idol because it is put before God and His Word. That means it's SIN and PRIDE what no one want to hear about but live to be happy their OWN WAY.
For me relationship with God really matters, religion has brainwashed people big times. My aim is to get to see God in heaven not to belong to a certain religion. I believe if you really look deeper on Muslim and Christian both have almost same virtues.
Whem we married we were not converted. After 15 years into marriage I converted born-again Christian but my wife did not. As a result we now have a very difficult time.
I totally agree with you. I had men from other religions who got attracted with me. Because I feel strong connection with my religion, I ran for the hills.
Most of the cases of couples who marry interreligious are couples who are just nominal and not serious about God only following rituals.
This video is just for me now.
So first I married my husband because he’s a Catholic and we share the same belief just two years in marriage.
Now he has been gaslighted and he has changed to a different church which is affecting me so bad because his belief is now different from mine.
We can’t even pray together because our prayer pattern now differs.
I feel so tired and everyday with so much disagreements.
This isn’t easy and I don’t think I can deal with it because there’s no more unity….because two can’t work together unless they agree.
Now we are two different people
So why she get marry a Muslim she say christian not marry non Christian so why she marry Muslim. She's husband is Muslim right or not
According to Islam, a man can marry a woman from other religions, provided that it is from holy books. However, it is not recommended for the reasons you mentioned.Islam accepts the Bible, the Prophet Jesus and the Virgin Mary. There is no problem in this regard.From Turkey with love.
But Muslim women are not usually permitted to marry men from other religions.
The fifth verse of Maide Sura makes muslim man lawful to marry Jewish and Christian women.It is stated in this verse that Muslim men can marry the women with any holy book, but it isn't clarified whether muslim women can marry the people with any holy book. But it is clear that a biblical man is different from the one who does not believe.So, we are close to each other. Maybe it can be cultural. With love from Turkey.
Sadik Ince cool. no disrespect but there's nowhere in the bible that states Christian woman can marry muslim man so..
@@SarahPullenShehadeh if man convert to Islam it's possible
Muslim women are more pure. These Christian women claim to love Mary, mother of Jesus, but they don't even cover themselves or follow her example. Look at them in their churches they sing dance mix with other men show their legs and cleavage. If Mary was alive today she would not want anything to do with these women.
I'm not Christian, but according to the Bible, from Corinthians, that a person can marry a person who doesn't believe. At least man can, according to them this is the quote:
"If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy."
So when Christians talk about not being with someone because they don't believe, I think they forget that quote.
I can understand your reasoning, and it is true to some degree, actually it depends on how educated the couples are and open. I know a lot of couples who are from different faiths and they just match perfectly. Though, as a rule of thumb, your advice is true.
I just think inter-faith marriages are more complicated. It would be heartbreaking to me if my husband and I did not share the same religious beliefs.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh even it would be heart breaking for me too. To know your love one is on wrong path and would end up in not in a eternal blessed place.
you have no idea what you're talking about. I know many extremely well educated people but who are extremely serious about their faith. I'm pretty well educated as is my wife also but for us, marriage to someone of a different faith would be a huge constant torture. Imagine, there is this part of you that is the absolute most important to you. It is literally the purpose of your life , yet that's the exact part that you cannot share with your life partner because they have a completely different purpose in their life that runs totally against yours. I don't think you understand the difference between "religious tradition" and actually "LIVING YOUR FAITH"
ah yes you probably think people like myself take their faiths too seriously.
yeah well we think you're not serious enough.
I wish God would have created only “one” religion with name “humanity”. So that “all” humans could decide freely to marry or love whomsoever they want. This religion actually divides more then bring people together with its dogmatic views. First question I would like to ask God when I die is , please tell the world humanity was YOUR main idea and rest were just man made labels.
You actually reflect my thoughts.
It is also problematic if one is actively practicing and one is not. I deeply regret marrying my husband who isn't devout or really practicing.
I think it's certainly possible, but it requires a full faith introspection, shared or not, for both husband and wife. Often however these are difficult things to overcome, but it's a challenge that is worthy of two truly loving souls. Though of course it's difficult to change ones foundation, I feel from my experience that Muslims having evidenced verses of faith are more open to such deep self evaluation, though Christans, with much respect, have more difficulty opening the door of self-criticism.
That's very interesting! I've actually noticed the opposite. That Muslims blindly believe what the Imams tell them and are taught not to question it. As a Christian, I've always been taught to seek truth and that has always led me back to Christianity.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh I really appreciate that! The requirement to be a truth seeker is what really counts! I'm happy you're proud of your faith. What truths have always led you back sister?
@@SarahPullenShehadeh What some imams say is not the actual islam though. the actual islam is what quran says. and in quran the first order that god ever sent was '' read, read for the name of Allah that created everything'' which actually shows what islam 'thinks' about seeking and questioning the truth. Some imams actually thinks that saying that kinda things spreads islam but it really is makes people think and know wrong about it. and they actually really harms it. and by the way, I agree with your thoughts about marriage, and it's not just about beliefs being different, but about different things people value
@@SarahPullenShehadeh Not to question it? The first word from the Holy Qur'an was "Read" Muslims are not taught blind faith like you falsely claim.
I want to be with someone Muslim, but I'm not attracted to a lot of muslim guys. Physically or just by their character. Besides that, I'm in a city with many Atheists. Time is ticking and I'm trying my best to wait for Mr. Right.
Lol never go for muslim people find any other religion but not muslim
what an amazing video ! Your words are powerful and i agree with everything you said. Hmm i might even make my own video on this topic. Pure courage !
Absolutely true. For a successful marriage you should never marry a follower of another religion. Because that will cause you to give your loyalty to other Gods. If you are a Christian, always marry another Christian, but it can be someone from another country and from another race. But both partners should be devoted Christians. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
For example a Christian from India can marry a devout Christian from USA.
If the religion itself conditions you to convert the other, it will most likely tend to fail. This is especially truth if the religion is really restrictive, such as Islam. Best case scenario is divorce but more often than not is bound to get worst than just that.
Why are you talking like Christians are not conditions to convert other people... just read through this comment section? And why are you guys always slandering lying and demonize Muslims and Islam 24/7? Does the promotion of Christianity depends on opposing Islam with lies?
The only true and best advice. I agree.
This is exactly me and my boyfriend him being a member of Iglesia ni Kristo since birth from his parents religion and me being a not so devout catholic converted many years ago then due to the conflict of my job schedule and the worships schedule they worship twice a week I can't go to their church anymore. I converted when I was 19 years old in 2015 and I was shunned and excommunicated in 2019 but their church have a rule that a member will get kick out and shunned if they marry a non member or excommunicated partner. He and I has been in a relationship since 2014 and this year 2024 we talked about marriage but since I was already a non member I have to go through learn the church doctrine again and I heard that not all ex-members who went back was accepted into the church and I don't accept their church doctrine anyway because there are so many rules and so strict it acts like mormon but different name and in my country the Philippines so we plan to break up even after so many years of being in a relationship.
I agree with you. I am not reæigious but I believe that couples who have similar background and life philosophy have better chance of success than those who dont.
succesfull is not only make a family, but more than that make the world at least your country better
Yes, I would agree with that!
Don’t marry someone within your religion who is more liberal or conservative in how they practice than you. It can get real messy, especially if you have children.
Religion is irrelevant date who ever the hell you want it's your life.
Sounds like this video doesn’t apply to you
Still you could get offended by something they do within the religion
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its very difficult to marry a christian or a muslim,because its a fundamentalist religion
ah yes, so if someone actually takes their faith seriously they're labeled "fundamentalist"... hmm yeah. stay away from them. go marry some floofy person who doesn't know what the heck they believe.
My boyfriend is an atheist and I am a Christian woman. I love him very much and will never shove Christianity down his throat. We are not the only ones. Deal
You are definitely entitled to your own opinion, even if it is different than mine. But if I may say so, your comment seems emotionally charged. Why is that?
@@SarahPullenShehadeh I appreciate you noticing my difference of opinion. I responded emotionally Bc I had a lot of people tell my bf that he should see god, or had a lot of people ask me why he doesn’t come to my bible studies or church with me. My bf has had a lot of bad experiences happen to him that was a big influence on his faith. We made an agreement from the first time that we met to not influence on each other’s beliefs. What our relationship does well is that we are able to listen to each other’s different belief system and grown a lot from our stories.
@@tracemagace8434 wow I see you being single forever (since you don’t open up to other peoples viewpoints and what not). And that’s funny Bc I’m in my twenties- I have to think about my career and future first before marriage ;). (PS we’re still together since I posted this)
@@tracemagace8434 update: we’re moving in together
hey BlackPinkLuv, so you say you're a christian huh? do you actually believe what the Bible teaches? or do you just pick and choose which parts you like in the Bible? Do you even care what Jesus wants you to do? Do you know what Jesus tells you to do in 2nd Corinthians 6:14? It says don't marry atheists! so how about you grow up and read the Bible before you make idiotic comments. Atheists and Christians are 100% incompattible. end of story.
What if they both oppose eachother's beliefs strongly and disagree strongly? Both on morals, politics and religion. They disagree how to raise their son, but they have 1 child together so far.
God made us so we can Love each other not to divide in the name of religion.
My boyfriend was a christian and im a hindu , he said he loved me, but when the topic of marriage came he broke up lol, if u were so against dating a non Christian. I am not very religious, i mean im not a ardent or a staunch hindu. i just gave devotion towards krishna but that doesnt mean i dont love jesus, i like christianity too.i love to go to church,and i often do, i even celebrate festivals with my friends, celebrated by Christian communities in my area and yeah jesus is definitely the savior of our souls and someone who forgave our sins, i respect christianity a lot but i cant convert myself to christianity,i cant leave ny devotion for krishna and gita. Im an open minded person and i was ready for an interfaith relationship but if he was not why ask me to date him?
Are you still with him sis.
@@S.ENTERTENMENT no, we broke up within a week.
And I decided either I would be in a relationship with my own countrymen , within my culture, or with someone who is not related to any religion, atheist, agnostic, pantheist, anyone, but not with a religious, I love to celebrate festivals and participate I different cultural programmes,i can accept others ' beleifs but I can't tolerate someone constantly poking me about me going to eternal hell, this is disturbing.
@@srijitachatterjee8011 sister every Christian is not like your ex boyfriend.many Christian is marry to Hindu without converting .my friend is Christian and she's marry to Hindu without converting .so everybody not same. you found any other open minded guy she's not try to converting to yoy
Hmmm yeah some points u r correct but doesnt mean they csnt get married. As long as they can respect and tolerate each other. Its not big deal
It is your opinion, you don't have to share with other people. ...
I don't have to but I wanted to. You also have the choice of whether you choose to watch or not. Have a wonderful day.
I think your talking from your own personal experience. If that person bring joy and happiness to your life and you get along well religion shouldn’t matter. The only problem I see with different faith together is the parents getting involved in the kids relationship
Saying dont marry someone from different religion because of cultural differences is like saying dont marry someone from a different country. In my option cultural differences that comes from different countries of ethnicity are much stronger then religious ones. Also you lumped all Christian and other religious groups as one single groups. That is so wrong. Even tough they are all Christian, there are major differences between Mormon's, Baptists, Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox practices. Same goes for Islam (Shia and Sunni) and Jews (Haredim, traditionalist and secular).
I totally agree, better to marry within The same religion!!!
I am a Muslim...
I love a Christian girl..
And I think she's never gonna accept me just Because of religion 💔
good, I hope she's smart enough to deepen her faith and never mary outside of her faith. it would be a foolish step for her. no amount of your "love" for her could overcome her knowledge that the two of you will spend eternity in two very different places and yours will be very hot and the AC will be broken
@@greendesert69 Really? And you know that how exactly? it's good the mask have falling and y'all share your thoughts about other communities.
Habib love yourself and your Hereafter more than her. It's not worth it.
@@aminaaden2921 I know that because that is what GOD says in HIS WORD. it's called THE BIBLE and it contains TRUTH.
Same here, I'm a Muslim guy and I'm also in love with a Christian girl. Even though she likes me but I never told her how I feel about her.
I fell in love with the most beautiful soul I ever met. We have so unbelievable much in common and connect on so many levels but he is an Hindu and I am an messianic Jew. There is the main problem if I think of our future. 😥 I can’t marry an Hindu, this I know. Not because it’s strictly forbidden but I know deep in my heart I could not live with someone in one house where are other Gods like pictures ect. It would be a great No for me because I know this affects and weakens me spiritually. But the one most important thing that I would miss the most is: that we can’t pray together and make God the foundation of our life. That’s a huge hurt and I think as much as I love him... I shouldn’t do this. 😢🥺
We don’t want children because I already have already children that live their own life and he doesn’t want children but I know despite all of the things we have in common, the relationship wouldn’t work because of the different religions. Think it even would be easier if he would be a nonbeliever. 😣
So why you hurt his feelings...
What a terribly difficult decision to make. . . But we always have to be honest with ourselves before entering marriage. God bless you! May God send the right one to you.
Some Hinduists are monotheists too.
I'm a teenager, I love a boy from another religion. But I'm sure that my and his family will not accept us. And it hurts. Bc he loves me very much and i love him too. And we are much worried about our future. Both of us are working hard to get good grades but we are actually sad and depressed 😞.
I don't know what to do now💔
Study and you are older think about what you want.
lmao my parents are from different race and religion and have been married over 20 yrs
lmao, your parents don't give a booger about their faiths.
Interfaith feels vry romantic to me normal marriages are so boring....instead of fighting over same shitty like normal couples do it would be great to know more about each other their beliefs, &arguing on some unique .
@Christian Princess RIGHT lol
That is why I would love an interfaith relationship.
@Christian Princess Some people love learning about religions and are not non-believers.
go tie yourself to a horse and a cow that want to go in different directions and then let us know how that works out for yourself. Or maybe just grow up and get over your idiotic romantic notions. There is nothing romantic about not being able to share the deepest, most intimate part of your soul, the lover of your soul with your partner because he is in love with another being and cannot understand what He means to you. some of these answers are so incredibly immature.
very well said. outta curiosity, is your husband (assuming from the name) a convert from islam or an arab christian? the latter of which are unbeknownst to a lotta people are actually plentiful esp in Palestine and Lebanon
I wanted to thank you so much for this video … it’s helped me find peace in the will God is wanting for me and for the future of me and the one I care about and that in the huge life decisions I will be making I. The future .. that both of our futures are in full consideration 💖🥺
It's all fun until you get children. For me celebrating Christmas is totally not done because it's against the basics of tawheed. With no children I can just leave the home. But if I would have children with a Christian we would both have a problem because for me it's a big sin and for her it is a big good thing. Only worshiping God is the main difference between Islam and other religions while Christians also pray to Jesus and other religions pray to even more God's. If you convert to Islam and in prayer and when you die you say: I testify that there is no God worthy of worship but Allah, and I testify that Mohammed (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is his messenger. *I testify that there is no God worthy of worship but Allah* is the main issue. Because any act of worship to someone else than Allah is shirk. People are willing to sin for each other but people who understand what shirk is will never purposely commit shirk. So that will be the main problem
Yes, raising children makes it very complicated and differences that have been ignored come to the surface quickly when a couple has to decide how to raise their children. . . .Regarding theological differences between Islam and Christianity, they go both ways. Christian theology is blasphemy to Muslims, and Islamic theology is heresy to Christians.
The issue here is that God really does not care about that and you think that he does.
I don't think we should ever follow Our heart but look to God's Heart. And not try luck but Pray to God who knows All things.
well Luckily God wrote down what was in His heart in a book called the Bible. and He said "Don't EVER marry nonchristians. THE END"
Your opinion is wrong because look at how many divorce from the same religion...equally, look at how high Christian divorces are in the USA now. Even ministers are divorcing these days when that was once so rare. Welcome to USA
Well, not in all cases
Generalization can’t help
I'm penicostol and thinking about dating a catholic I'm not sure how that would work out
Listen you, I am an LDS married to a non. It depends on people ok?! You hit it when you said "in my opinion". Religions ONLY divide people. If you really love a person you accept her as she is, and her values, and beliefs. Cheers
Religion is fake but your natural tribal ethnicity is true.. to preserve is the tribe not the religion..
can't believe people really agree with this
You’re free to agree or disagree. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
@@SarahPullenShehadehmy parents are of different religion. I'm 19 now
RandomVids I’m glad it worked out for them. I’m guessing their religions were not their number one priorities though...?
@@SarahPullenShehadeh may be their humanity is the number one priority
Hi.
I am serious about my religious fath.
So I don't want to go seriously for inter religious women
Love doesn't belong to religion . religion is believed n love is attachment . If u cnt love others u r not full success human .. love each others ..
hmm you don't make very much sense. Marriage is not just about LOVE, it is about working together TOWARD THE SAME GOALS. if you want to East but your partner is pulling you towards West, you will get tired of fighting him and you will loose that cute little "loving feeling" very quickly. maybe you should think a little more deeply than the silly "lovey dovey" ideas you seem to have
Thank you dear sister for sharing the truth!
Yeah 😢 I feel like there would be jealousy and competition in which parent will be able to bring their kid to their religion. What if there are five kids and they have different religions due to the parents or they get so confused that they become atheist
Just wondering if your church has sponsored your travel to Jordan? Be honest. And if so, for what purpose. Your spouse is Jordanian same faith?
yes ..she's charistan of joaden
Great video thanks and this is true about mixed marriage. Thanks
My gosh..Just got into relation found out she's Christian..and im not.let GOD show us the way..tx for your deeply advices Ma'am..
What about a Catholic and a protestant? Both are Christians but different strands
you can be unequally yoked even if you were from the same denomination.
You are right . I am a married to a Jordan muslim, but unfortunately it’s sucks .
well, yeah maybe I should make a video that says "marrying a person of a different faith is not a good idea, but marrying a muslim is downright insane!"
I know this for a fact. Happened in my own family, It did NOT end well, nor was it pretty.
Stay the heck away from muslims no matter how "nice" they are.
@@greendesert69 What a entrenched bias and prejudice! Your disdain and vitriol comments against Muslims throughout this comment section as if all Muslims are a monolith says more about you.
@@aminaaden2921 oh for pete's sake. All I am saying is that christianity and other faiths are 100% incompatible. PERIOD. they cannot all be true because they believe opposing things.
I never said that Islam is any kind of monolith but certainly Christianity IS a monolith. there is ONE TRUE christianity (the one that follows what the Bible says). and the Bible clearly says that Christians are under NO circumstance allowed to marry or be partners with people of any other faith.
"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14
So I don't care what the Quran says. This clearly tells me that we are not compatible with the others so you can believe whatever you want, but the truth doesn't change.
this women loves bashing Muslims. I think she needs to look at her own community and see how they badly they treat women etc .always critical and hate won't get you anywhere !
She never bashed Islam even once in this video.
She never bashed Islam here??
@@sweetalison007 My statement was an honest observation of this particular video of hers. How do you define bashing and what did she say that you think was bashing? Christians and Muslims are allowed to respectfully disagree with one another. After all, Christianity is blasphemy to Muslims and Islam is heresy to Christians.
@@rashidah9307 Agree!
@@sweetalison007 I agree with you! I was confused by the question marks at the end of your first statement. I thought you meant that it was crazy to think that she didn't bash Islam! 😉
Marrying unbeleivers is very very unbiblical
I should start a holy war then
Agree 1000% ✌🏼
Thank you very much!
you are very critical of islam and have so many misconceptions about Muslims and islam.please do real research .get a copy of a quran and have a read .
@Christian Princess how can you a princess if you spread hatred and division?
@Christian Princess u sound v evil and full of hate keep going
Let’s put the different religion aside and talk about the Christian community, in the Christian community we still have doctrines, different way of worship even though we are worshiping God some families will frown on you marrying from a particular church because they feel they don’t share the same idealogy with your church. JW for instance they don’t marry outside their church even though we are all Christians.
Yes, there are many differences within faiths, and each person has to decide what they're willing to be flexible about. I just wanted to clarify that Jehovah Witnesses are not Christians just because they read the Bible. They don't call themselves Christians. When they meet Christians, they try to convert us to their religion.
@@rashidah9307 what is fundamentally wrong with the religion is the fact that they demand from people to refuse blood transfusions, bone marrow transplant, organe transplants. Not supporting this for me means to be against saving human lives and in general against healthcare.
Any religion that is against saving lives is just irrational in my point of view. I was bathized as Christian Orthodox and although (but I consider miself a spiritual free person that truly believes in God yet I don't feel the need to belong to any religion and personal faith is enough) the religion is in many aspects old fashioned yet it can clearly be said that it doesn't have absurd rules against saving human lives.
@@leliavoinea9402 yes, I understand your points. I definitely believe that people should have the freedom to choose life-saving treatments like blood transfusions and organ transplants.
JW are a cult.
JWs are not christians so that's not a good example.
within the Christian faith, there are matters of CORE FAITH beliefs and SECONDARY beliefs.
Core faith:
-GENUINE REPENTANCE
-GENUINE NEW BIRTH
-God is 3 persons in 1
-Bible is the inerrant Word of God
-Salvation by faith ONLY
etc...
Secondary beliefs
-cessationism vs continuationism
-views on alcohol
- worship styles
etc
There can be absolutely NO COMPROMISE on core faith beliefs.
There can sometimes be compromise on secondary beliefs, although it is generally wiser to agree on those too.
A baptist and a pentecostal for example might be able to be on the same page on core beliefs, but a baptist and a catholic are simply NOT going to be on the same page. Catholics don't believe in salvation by faith only (they believe it's faith, tradition and church), and don't understand being born again the same way.
If My girlfriend don't have religion,is it matters ?
yeah it matters. especially in the long term. especially if she don't like being in a very hot place that has no AC
Thanks for u video, I’d like to highlight that understanding and know each is very vital prior to marriage and I partially agree with you it will be difficult continue the marriage if they don’t make a road map for their live prior marriage I totally believe that love make miracles but sometimes brutal facts come up with new challenges especially after kids come and it seems difficult to raise a kid with different parents religions.
Thanks for sharing!
RELIGION IS ONLY A THING
a faith...
Hi were both Christian but different kind of Christian for example i’m Orthodox and my girlfriend catholic
nice combo😊
@@akinyi5368 haha yeah they're both lost
What about sunni and shia muslim
If you are a Mormon, so it's because of people like you, others criticise LDS ppl
Will i think you need to educate yourself about different religions then you will come up with different point of view.
It's not wrong to marry a different religion man when you study his religion. There are a lot of similar things between Islam and christianity.
The only thing you need to do is study both of them you will feel too much closer to other people.
People always afraid of the unknown,but once it becomes known it will be more comfortable to live and share things like marriage.
Regards
Thank you for your opinion : )
Christianity is not the same as Islam. Jesus is the Son of God and not a Prophet as Muslims believe. Jesus is the Saviour of our souls who forgives sins and saved us from eternal damnation. We believe in the Trinity and Muslims don't. Jesus died on the Cross for the forgiveness of sins of humanity, Muslims don't believe that
Ayman M.R yeah?? Would you still say the same if it's between muslim woman and christian man?
@@gagaprada8768 yes, i would say the same .
I can't stop marriages from different religions,
Christianity don't mind Islam don't mind too , but Islam mad some rules for this ,
Still i can say we need to educate our selves to reach to the truth.
In USA or in any different country this kind of marriage is happening.
So we don't have to say to people who they have to marry.
Liked your views but what if the Christian abandon her religion to follow her spouses religion
I believe that a person who abandons her God for a man can never be fulfilled
A romantic relationship in general will never fully satisfy. I love my husband, but he is not my source of fulfillment. My relationship with God is where my fulfillment comes from.
How about religious and non-religious like atheist
agree 100%
Thank you!
Ur so right i also love ur respect to all religions thnku
You are sick in the hospital, you are a Christian, your spouse is ungodly, he won't pray for you even when you are dying. A cold equation. No further. Ungodly oppresses your faith, you can't sing Christian songs or pray out loud or listen to sermons, doesn't work. You cannot be at home with your faith.
