Collective Empowerment: The Advantages Of Interfaith Marriage

By Dorothy Stewart


Love always wins right? Well, most of the time it does. The only time it doesn t win is when to stand between two people who genuinely love each other and have their best interest at heart. Learning to accept the differences of your partner as far as race and religion are concerned is difficult because there are so many factors that you have to take into account. Interfaith marriages are one of them and collective empowerment is there to support you.

There is nothing wrong with marrying someone who doesn t go to the same church as you or worships in the same description as yours. What matters the most is the fact that you love each other and you are willing to make your relationship work no matter what. The rest is not something that should concern you.

However, it is important to note that, it is not every partnership that is struggling with this spiritual dynamic. If your love was founded on basic things such as love, respect, and loyalty, believing different religions shouldn t be a problem. It only becomes something that is problematic when one spouse isn t exactly happy with the other s religion of spouse.

Unless you were forced into a marriage without your consent, you would have to know about your partner s religious differences before you embark on the journey of committing to each other forever. It is for this reason why you should never rush into a life you not ready to live by. Take your time and get to know your partner before you decide to tie the knot.

Although people have made it seem like a wedding is about two people, they always seem to have a way of minding other couple s business instead of theirs. Don t let anybody that has the audacity to come into your union and marriage and ruin what you and your spouse are trying to do or to become. Don t become another divorcee static because of the negativity that you will get from other people.

As much as you will be respecting and honoring each other as lovers, you also have to do the same when it comes to your spiritual variances. The last thing you want to do is step on your spouse s toes when he is doing something that brings him closer to his Maker. Give him enough space to do what he is to do without disturbing his serenity.

It will prove to be rather difficult to let go of a relationship that has brought you nothing but happiness. However, you might be forced to do this if your religion doesn t believe or accept any interfaith marriage practices. For this reason, you have to initially find out if you can or if you are prohibited to do such.

Don t settle for the first person that you can find who claims they have done an interfaith wedding before. Instead, give yourself time to find the right person who will be able to do the job. This way, nothing will be rushed and everything will run smoothly.
