[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married an Arab Muslim.  Our biggest challenges are food (he's a red meat guy and I'm a wanna-be vegetarian), and household temperature (he wants it 80, I want it 65).

We ironed out religious issues before marriage.  Fortunately neither of us is super-religious, so we haven't had any conflict there.

His family tries to get me to convert and my family tries to get us to baptize the kids.   So we piss off everyone on that front.   But mostly it's been pretty easy.  We have very similar values, similar financial goals, similar outlook on children and their education.   So we haven't had too much conflict, honestly.    We've been married 10 years now.[/quote]

I am a SA Muslim married to an American Catholic guy.

You'd be surprised at how much we have in common. Although, it helps that we both grew up in northern virginia and wound up working in the city. Between us, we have no conflict that is related to our ethnic backgrounds or religion. I celebrate christmas and thanksgiving with him, he celebrates eid and ramadan with me. We are going to raise our children muslim with a solid appreciation of christian culture (christmas etc).

The only issue we have is that our inlaws are so vastly different. His family is rednecky and they arent very world aware and I never really feel like they're my family.

Other than that...I'd encourage it. a 100%
