Hi Peeps,
I am currently dating a muslim girl and we cannot take our relationship further due to our different religious beliefs.. what should I do? Does anyone have ideas on how to make this relationship work? I am lost, in the beginning I thought I could make it work, but it seems now that this is really hard and I don't want us to drift away from each other. She will be facing a lot of problems with her family for dating outside of her religion. Please can someone show me ways to make this work? If there is a solution

This one is easy. Just stop being a christian. It says in the Bible in 2 Corinthians 6:14 not to date anyone but a Christian. So just decide what is more important to you, your faith, or the girl, because you can't please both God and yourself. If you care so much about this girl that you would put her before your religion then that answers your questions for you. You can have a compatible marriage, but you can't be compatible spiritually. What school will the kids go to? Will they celebrate christmas? Will they get bibles and korans? etc...

I wish it was so simple. And if that choice came... I would choose my God. And I'm sure you would do the same

Well since that's the case then you have your answer; find another girlfriend.

Being as there's only a difference of opinion and no other issues (I presume), you two could easily remain friends, and if things change down the road you can take another shot at it.

As a Muslim myself I really should tell you that this most likely won't work without great pain and heartache from at least one side. I dated a Hindu girl and it just didn't work out because of my parents. I'm pretty certain her parents are the same way and want a Muslim husband. And just so you know, Muslims aren't allowed to date!

At that time Islam was not there when the Bible said that :)
