    Muslim or Christian, they will be open to both. That is the beauty. If they are Muslim, they will learn to appreciate other faith, and if they are Christians they will learn to appreciate the other faith as well. I know it is not easy , but we want to make it work, we clicked so much and now we are apart for a while (long distance relationship) but we do not want to let go what we have
    Let us not forget we come from the one and same god

    I would have a problem with a long distance relationship (tried it, didn't work for me). I am one religion, raised strictly; my late husband was another, also raised strictly. We discussed our beliefs before we married and there never once was a problem.

    It's communication - I didn't try to change him and he didn't try to change me and we had mutual respect for each other.

    Do you think they don't work ? (long distance )

    I KNOW long distance didn't work for me. While the meetings were very exciting at first after a while we both needed someone here/now instead of phone calls and emails.

    Of course, I'm sure these relationships have worked for other people.

    I had a long distance (England - Canada) that was very exciting but didn't work mostly because I wasn't ready for marriage yet. My marriage is a result of a long distance between two provinces where I moved to her.

    Right, understand both sides... I hope it does work, and Believe it can . As long as we keep the communication, I think everything can be achieved.
    Middle east America BTW for the distance

    Meeting in the us, in a year and half.
    What did you feel that was different with your long distance the second time around ?

    I was older, and it was closer, i.e. not a prohibitive flight cost involved. We could see each other more. Remember that this was before Skype. :)

    Rigth, just get scared from time to time, it is normal.

    Sometimes she tells me she feels lonely , I guess that's normal ?

    I try and communicate everyday and blackberry helps
    Want to know if all I am doing is giving us the best chances

    Only you know what is best for you, what gives you the best chance for happiness.

    I found that unless/until I saw someone every day - and I'm not necessarily talking about living together - it's easy to present a face which is not 100% accurate.

    Again - just my experience.
