Love yourself without being of the same religion
Love always falls on us by chance. You never know when but mostly you never know who. A practicing Catholic may fall in love with a Muslim and a Muslim of a Jewess. Everything is possible, love knows no borders.
When it happens that two people of different religions fall in love with each other, the first thing to do is to talk about it. This subject should not be taboo since it is a reality that can have serious consequences for the durability of the couple.
Several questions must be asked of both lover :
- Am I really lover ?
- Am I willing to make concessions if this proves to be essential?
- Will I be ready to convert if it becomes necessary?
- Do we want children? What religion will we choose to inculcate?
There are couples for whom this is going very well ... in general it is the families who are barriers. There is no point in putting the cart before the oxen, before telling them about your story, make sure it's not a fad, but what's going on between the two of you is seriousness .
Mixed love is more and more common, so do not be ashamed and do not hesitate to talk about it. Other couples than you have lived and live very happy.
