Islam and the Non-Muslim Wife

07 Sep 2006 04:57 PM

I was so glad to find your blog. I am in a relationship right now with a Muslim man, and I am not religious. I mean, I have my own views and have been studying Buddhism but I can't say I am a Buddhist. I actually broke up with my boyfriend because I didn't think it could work. I don't want Muslim kids, and I am not changing my mind. He came after a few weeks and told me he loved me and having me in his life is more important than him having Muslim kids. It would be so nice to be together, and he is such a great person. BUT I don't want him to give up who he is to be with me. After reading what you wrote uit sounds like it is completly against his religion for him to marry me. I guess we just have alot of talking to do. I told him to go talk to his friends, talk to a Muslim advisor (I don't know what to call them) and he said he would but he makes his own decisions and this is his decision. He really isn't religious either. He drinks, gambles, has premarital sex. He doesn't go to mosque. The only thing I have seen him passionate about is not eating pork. He doesn't care if I do. I have men friends, he doesn't care. We really need to talk alot about this.....
