Interfaith Marriages And Its Challenges

By Amy Butler


There are love stories that are created to show everyone that there is no such thing as division when both person have fallen in love with each other. One example of which is marrying a person which belief, faith and religion is else way than the other. Such scenarios should never be a problem so long as both parties are willing to respect the perception of one another in a way no one is offended. Because, at the end of the day, it is a born right of a person to choose their beliefs and that is just the secret to make it work. And to start such journey, Jewish and interfaith wedding Orange County has the best ceremony done.

Marriages like this especially for Jewish is really rare and there were almost no individual that would dare to possibly done this. There were some beliefs that actually made it a rule to not marry someone who has different religion. And this perceptions became the reason why there is a huge gap in between people and all the religions that are present. But, as time passed by, people gradually learned to accept such fact that loving is not bad.

However, it really is a bit hard for these two couples to establish a deeper talk and conversation when it comes to their own religion. Other times, discussing it would lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. Maybe, this is the reason why marriages of such type is quite hindered by the family and others who are generally just concern.

Sometimes, negative reactions from siblings, parents aunts and other members of family is inevitable. Especially when one is part of conservative and a traditional family. It would really be hard to convince them to support such bindings because their hearts and minds are closed with the possibility and this can really ruin a good relationship.

Other times, the only solution that can be thought of is conversion of faith. This is insisted to the future spouse and this actually is not even appropriate knowing that each person is born with a right to stand on religion of their choice. This will only add fuel to pressure the future spouse would feel and besides this is really something personal to begin with.

And even when the conversion would be given consideration of, it still would never be that easy once and if its something forced. Imagine how hard can it be for a person to change the faith they have built and made solid for the longest years. And having to follow a culture that they are not even familiar of is also unfair for them.

It is also important that before tying the knots, couple gets to settle future within family issues that may arise because of this differences. Because once the wedding is done, and the family has been built, it will get harder to fix things like this by breaking up. There will be too many people that gets affected especially the kids and as parents that should never happen.

There also are other couples that will try to introduce kids to both religion culture. Showing what are the difference and allowing them to not feel any intimidation at all because sometimes this kind of issue would all boil down and affect kids. This should never be the case.

Sure, interfaith binding are not really easy. This will challenge faith, trust and respect between the couple but as long as the open mindedness is present, this would eventually be worth taking risk. Two people that tries to talk, settle and understand the situation instead of forcing something to happen would go a little long way.
