I have many christian friends who married muslim men.  It is true that we revere Jesus and believe his birth to be a miracle of God.  If you want to stay Christian make sure you make that point very clear.  You can maintain your religion and your love for this man and have a wonderful family.  Please be warned: A muslim man can marry a christian or jewish woman- but his children must be Muslim.  These are things to think about, but if you love him and love God, then it can work. You just have to really sit down and talk to him about all of these things. Good luck to you! God bless.

Glad to answer you, \nThere's some points to make clear, \n1. Muslim Man can marry only Christian or Jewish or Muslim Woman but cannot marry from any other religion , or atheist. \n2. Muslim Woman cannot marry any non Muslim man , \nsome people say this is not equality , but in fact this has many reasons : \nIslam gave women many rights which make the husband admitted to it , and the husband must respect his wife very much and also Islam honored the woman by many ways , and if a Muslim woman married non Muslim he wont have to treat her in the good way which Islam orders him to,\nAlso, The Children of any woman inherit the father's religion , so to make sure that the children are going to have the right religion , which is Islam for Muslims, then the Muslim woman should marry only a Muslim man. \n\n To know more about Women rights in Islam: \nhttp://www.answering-christianity.com/womensrights.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hejab\nhttp://www.themodernreligion.com/women/w_roles_ideals.htm\nhttp://www.uga.edu/islam/Islamwomen.html\n\n Hope i have helped u.

No. Orthodox faiths only let you marry inside your church. You could try to get him to convert.

I can't speak from the Muslim religous aspect but can tell you I have a female Christian friend married to a Muslim.  Their relationship & marriage was fantastic at first but once their daughter was born things changed.  His religion took presidence.  He sent his daughter overseas to be raised by his family & their beliefs and he refuses to allow my friend to go to church anymore.  Not to say, this is what would happen if you were to marry this man.\n\nNext, I am sure you have prayed on this long and hard.  If you are finding more discomfort, worry, fear or confusion in marrying this person than the Holy Spirit is probably warning you not to.  God is a God of order.  He has not given you the spirit of fear but of love, of power and of a sound mind.\n\nI would recommend getting into the concordance of your Bible and look up marriage and divorce to be sure you line up all of your questions, feelings & decisions to what the word says.  Read all the scripture from the Old & New Testament.  Write the ones down that jump off the page and meditate on them.  Fast if you feel you are not finding the direction you should take.\n\nYou can use an online website http://www.crosswalk.com to do some of your research if a Bible isn't handy.\n\nRemember one thing, no one can tell you the path you should choose and they don't know how God is leading you.  This is something only you can figure out.  Close your mind off to all worldly views and seek after God for His decision in your life.\n\nI will say from everything I've read on the subject, as a Christian, you would not be in sin.  But I think you would be opening doors to a very difficult life in comparison to waiting on God to bring you a Christian man.\n\nDivorce is not an option - it never is.  So marrying this person no matter what happens until death do you part will be a vow you make with God.  Be sure you are truly ready to make this kind of committment before going any further. \n\nKeep in mind, someone who believes in a god other than the one we know is not led by a Holy & loving God.  Therefore, you end up joining together as one with someone who is being led by something else.  Ultimately, their decisions and mind are not being formed by the living word, the Holy Spirit and our heavenly Father.  If he doesn't have a relationship with Jesus Christ than you are not going down the same path.\n\nI realize you must love this man very much or the question you pose wouldn't be so heart wrenching.  I pray you find your way and the life ahead is filled with much love, peace & joy.\n\nI am happy to chat more if you want to write.

yes, its possible to marry her..but at first you need to know werther if she really loves you deep down inside and be ready to convert to Islam to be married to you..?\n\ndo not force her to convert..it must be from her heart..but if she..reluctant to give away her christianity and that is not a good news to you..you might probally can wait for he until she finally says that she really wants you to be her life partneror maybe you have to forget about her..\n\ni think thats the only good way to do.. you're a muslim man..and as a muslim..you should know what is the best...\n\ngood luck my friend

Yes, but you need to do marriage prep through the Catholic Church...and have your priest help you get permission to marry outside the Church.\n\nJust a caveat. If your faith means a shred of anything to you, a mixed religion marriage is difficult, especially once children come along.

It does not make sense for a Muslim to marry a Christian or for a christian to marry a Muslim unless they weren't really serious about their  religion.  I am Catholic and I feel very strongly about my ideals.  There is no way I would marry a Muslim because as it says in one of the gospels, we would be "unevenly yoked" and arguing about religion all the time.  I mean, what would we teach our kids?  Both religions?  And which one would I tell him is the truth?  Mine or his father's.  It is better to find someone who feels the same way you do on matters that are close to your heart so you can work as a team.

Muslim or non-Muslim, it don't matter... love is where the heart is and no matter how we each feel about the other, if its meant to be it will be.......

Tayeb,\n\n      Dating is not allowed in Islam.  You have to get married as per Islamic Sharia.  Make dua and Insha'Allah it will happen.

Not neccesarily. Relationships where both parties share the same religion tend to last longer than relationships where one person is religious and the other is not or relationships where each has a different religion (or even denomination).

This is a hard question to answer, and different Christian (including Catholic) religions and sects have different answers.  However, all the Christian religions base their answers on Biblical text - both Old Testament and New Testament.\n\nConcerning the New Testament, there are no words from Jesus or the Apostles that specifically forbid marriage between a Christian and a non-believer in Christ (Muslim). There are some words that suggest it is better for both to be Christian, but it is not a requirement within the New Testament.\n\nThe Old Testament tells a different story, where Jews (Israelites) were forbidden to marry people of other races and religions.  Many Christian religions consider the Old Testament references to the Jewish nation to be meant to refer to Christians today - so the interpretation is that all marriages between believers and non-believers (in Christ) are forbidden.\n\nMost moderate Christians do not adhere to the strict interpretation of the Old Testament and therefore permit almost any marriage between persons of different religious beliefs as long as there is mutual love, caring, commitment, etc.  However, more fundamental Churches will forbid it, and I believe this will mean a majority of Catholic Churches as well.\n\nYou are likely to find many people that will give differing answers to your question.  If you are interested in what the New Testament has to say about this subject, you should read for yourself the writing of the Apostle Paul (Corinthians I and II, and others) as well as specific references in the Gospels of John, Matthew, and Luke (words of Christ).  Then you can make-up your own mind on this matter.

It could be that the person they are planning to marry may be of another religion.  Such as catholics are only supposed to marry catholics.  It could also be that they had a bad experience with their prior religion and looked into different religions and found one they felt was more "in tune" with their personal beliefs.

Inter-religious marriage causes problems for some, but not for all. Usually any children within the marriage will be raised in both faiths, celebrating the religious holidays of both parents, and participating in activities of both sets of beliefs. Less commonly (but also done), the children will be raised in the faith of only one of the parents, as decided by the parents. Even less commonly, the children will be raised in neither faith, and religious practice of the parents is done only in private.\n\nIt is not uncommon for parents to mix their faiths for their children. I had a friend in elementary school who's father was Christian and mother was Jewish. In the case of Judaism, a child's cultural descent is determined by their mother, but they chose to raise her not only as a Jew, but also as a Christian. If you love each other, you make it work.

Yes. \n\nAs long as the bride or the groom is baptized Catholic then the couple can be married in the Catholic Church. \n\nIf one is not a Catholic, then you may have to get permision from the bishop.\n\nWith love in Christ.

That would make you unequally yolked, and I don't believe God intends for you to marry someone who isn't a Christian.\n\n*EDIT*\n\nIf you two are deeply in love, then if she is the one, she will get saved.  If not, then she's not the one for you, and you should ask God for help with moving on.
