[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you consider dating or marrying a muslim man or woman?

Why or why not?[/quote]

We didn't "date" in the Western sense (unchaperoned outings, pre-marital sex, etc), but I was in a romantic relationship with a Muslim man for roughly two years. We started as friendly coworkers and realized we were in love. We tried to fight it so as not destroy the platonic and professional relationships. A year later, we were still crazy about each other. We seriously discussed marriage, children. Ultimately, he wanted to marry a fellow Muslim. I was not willing to convert as I am a practicing Catholic. We parted. It was devastating. We both moved to other cities hoping physical distance was the solution, but have remained very good friends. 
He did indeed marry a nice Muslim girl and they have a beautiful family.
I went on to marry an agnostic man from a non-Christian background. The marriage was a disaster for multiple reasons, including religious differences. I am marrying a fellow practicing Catholic in less than a year. Our shared religious beliefs are a major source of strength in the relationship.[/quote]
