Marriage between two people with different religion can be difficult, there are so many factors that they need to consider and boundaries they have to overcome. Factors such as differences, especially when it comes to their beliefs, other than that they also have to take in mind the probable reaction of their loved ones, and there are so much more that they have to face and surpass.
Even with all these changes throughout the past centuries, interfaith couples from time to time faces the verdict or consequences of falling in love with someone of different religious belief, as they face cruel and bias judgements. Seeing them as sinful and a shame to their religious community when all they did was meet and pursue a person that they admire.
Though it has started to gain acceptance and has widely been acknowledge within the past centuries, it is still considered taboo to some religious circle. Which is the reason why interfaith couples these days would resort to changing their religious outbringing. Though they make these decision to avoid conflict, it is still not very ideal.
Although many would resort to changing their religion just to avoid any conflict and bias judgements, but there are also couples out there that proclaim their vows without them having to choose between religions. This is way is very much prone to negative criticism, so for it to work that couple would have to put up a good amount of understanding, trust, patience and above all love.
When it comes to interfaith marriages, usually the couples make their own choices, often time one converts to the others religion but there are also cases that they enter a life of love and commitment without having to force their religious belief on each other. But with this there is a great amount of understanding and respect for things to work out between the couple.
And as for the children when they are in the right age to decide for themselves they also get to choose their own in religion, but this only applies to some cases. But basically with situation as such in existent it only shows that even though it has remained a huge issue within different religious community. The world now has shifted to appoint when people starts to open up to the many possibilities to what was once impossible.
Society now and before have a gap that individuals from these generation cannot accept fixed marriages like in the old days. Now everyone believes in independence and free will, and above all goes by the notion that no one can decided for them especially when it comes to love.
And those who go through all the odds in an interfaith marriage it is not that they do not know that it is difficult, they do in fact they acknowledge it. But love is something you cannot control or simply forget, once it strikes it hits you at your core that you become helpless.
