He is MUSLIM, I am CHRISTIAN!! INTERFAITH COUPLE! HOW WE MADE IT WORK

Join us as we have a conversation about dating in different religions.
We speak about the highs, the lows and the deal breakers.
But most importantly, how we made it work!

I've been married to a man who had Muslim father and despite him saying he is not Muslim, the strictness is there and male centeredness. Their roots will come up, believe me. They should convert to Christianity to solve any issues.

Thank you for posting this. I'm currently in a relationship with a Muslim guy, who knew from the beginning that I attended church/believed in God/wasn't willing to change that. He is one of the kindest and most loyal people I have met. He sees me having a lot of anxiety about my prejudiced family because I worry about how they will react to him. He isn't as religious as me, so he would be willing if we had kids for me to bring them to sunday school/raise them in a church. I told him that community is important to me. I pray about my relationship a lot, for God to show me/tell me the right answers and to give me discernment over my life. We are compatible in the ways that he doesn't drink/i don't much either, we don't partake in drug use, we believe in saving sex for marriage, taking care of people, and the importance of loving others no matter what, to name a few things. He always supports me practicing my faith and encourages me to go to church. I truly do feel like he is the kind of person I need in my life. Sometimes I feel he is even more morally sound than me, by Christian standards. It makes me wonder how someone like him entered my life, and everyday I ask God to teach me how to go about my relationship "the right way". Everything is easy with him, and when I don't think about my family's prejudice towards other Muslims, I feel at ease. I do envy that you both had very accepting and loving parents. I think if I did, being with my boyfriend would be a lot easier mentally. In my heart, I just don't feel like labels should be the reason to break up with someone. Especially when they do everything right by you.

I'm really happy to see you guys made it, not many people have these open and noble thoughts like you guys, really appreciate it.

I'm a Christian woman who really loves Muslim man. My faith is so important to me and he is supportive of it. What I've realised is that I'm not willing to compromise with him at all on this. My conscience will not allow me to. It really breaks my heart knowing that he's not saved and I could never risk the salvation of our future children by being with him. I wouldn't want them to grow up confused, thinking both ways are valid. Unless he becomes Christian, I think I need to break it off with him soon. 😢

A reborn Christian who has the Spirit of God living in him or her must know a marriage to an unbeliever will never result into a spiritual marriage until that person chooses to serve Jesus Christ with him or her. The Bible says do not be unequally yoked. God bless

[kittenjones]

I'm a Christian and my fiance is a Muslim.
At end of the day we respect each other religion most important
We love each other.
And he's an awesome man...

[kmaaxo]

You guys really inspired me and gave me hope that my relationship with my muslim man will work 🥰🥰🥰

[angieedwards]

Thank you for your video. I'm in a similar relationship... I am Christian and my guy is Muslim. Our toughest discussion is about children and how to be raised.

This couple may not see it now but one day they will if one of them ever get serious about their understanding of their faith. Especially the Christian. She says around 5:20 Muslim men can marry a woman of faith as long as they do not worship idols. Idols are false Gods. The God of the Bible and the God of the Quran are different Gods there they are seen by each other as false Gods. So either the man’s understanding of the God he believes in is a very poor understanding or the woman’s understand of the God she believes in is very poor. This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make bc they are basing the strength on the love they say they have for one another but both religions also claim your love for God must be stronger than any other. Surely the Christian can’t have stronger love for God and yet continue in good faith knowing she is with a man who is in opposition of the creator she believes in. My assessment is they are just playing with their beliefs and are not necessarily devotee to their Gods. No matter how they try and convince theirselves otherwise.

GOD is not a religion!!! Our belief in Him is the foundation of how we serve Him and each other! Our love that we live out through each other is what makes us who we are in Him and displays who He is in us!!!

[alexisyu]

You guys should definitely do more of these question and answer type of video. It really helps me cuz I’m currently in the same situation

[lilydiallo]

I am a Christian and my husband is a Muslim, he is from Guinea 🇬🇳 in Africa. I respect and support him during Ramadam. I don’t eat, and use that time to pray and read my Bible.

[mayrachaouch]

I am Cristian and my husband is Muslim we marry for 9 years and we are very happy

[lisarobinson]

Thank you for this. ❤❤ Glad to know it can work out.

[dannybotes]

Insightful discussion on a relevant topic.

[rosea]

I just want to tell my story, not to warn but to educated. I was a ‘lukewarm’ Christian when I married my husband who is Muslim. I agreed that my husband could raise our children as Muslim. I got saved after my daughter was born. I started to go to church and read my Bible. He is raising her as a Muslim, I cannot take her to church with me or teach her the Bible. I am worried for her soul. It’s just something to think about.

[keepingupwithchin]

I'm new here watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 glad I find you guys ♥️

[pocanas]

Love love love this!!!😍 We are Christian and Muslim as well. Our stories are so similar. I (wife) wouldn’t compromise my faith neither lol.

[mornubien]

Salam salam up on you family it's very nice to see this kind of video cuz my girlfriend she's Christian and I'm a Muslim and i love her I don't know a lot about Christian but in Islam we can marry a Christian

[Truthbetold]

Its explicitly said that a Muslim man (he also to be a virgin, as mentioned in the Quran) can marry people of the book that are chaste (modest and a Virgin). Some scholars add more criteria’s when analysing the Hadith and Quran that the Christian or Jewish female should be from an Islamic country. Some people go even further to say that the Christian or Jew should believe in God and not a man (who only certain types of Christians that don’t see Jesus as God which is very rare nowadays).

But the minimum criteria is that she should be a Christian or Jew that is chaste (Virgin and modest). The reason for all of these criteria is to ensure that the marriage will be successful in the long term so chance of divorce is less (chance of divorce between muslim man and non muslim daughter is often high) and the father’s children will be highly likely to be raised as muslim. Thus, overall when looking at the picture, it is discouraged for a Muslim man to marry a non muslim woman, and a muslim that is very practicing and has strong faith will never marry a non muslim women, due to the complications and also due to the fact that piety, and religiousness holds more weight that blind love and beauty.

I just wrote this to clear up any confusions anyone watching might have about Islamic rulings on Muslim men marrying Christian and Jewish women
