I did it. Thought parents would never approve but their is benefit in having parents who value religion over culture.

Would I if I fell in love? Sure.

But the preference is still the same culture as me. Why? Because of the shared language, the similar nuances in family dynamic, easier integration into family. Honestly, there's plenty of reasons.

Can happiness and love be achieved with someone outside your own culture? Absolutely, but I think it's a little easier when it's the same culture. Just my 2¢

So like ... someone who is desi, but but born an raised in America. Sudani, but born and raised in America, Bolivian but born and raised in America ... etc?

Yeah, I don’t see a problem - but lets be honest how many of our families are this progressive?

Yeap
And that is a valid point to consider; everyone’s situation is different
My folks aren’t that into the idea either but I brought up the fact that I will keep my options open

No, if you marry put side Islam, you will lose a generation of Muslims. Your kids will celebrate haraam holidays like Christmas

OP said different culture but still Muslim

K2 did you get a typo somewhere in there
Please to explain again 😀

Outside culture def, as long as they're a citizen of the US. I have reservations marrying those who don't have a green card yet. Problem really lies with whether the family is willing to be happy with me marrying outside the culture

I absolutely would. For me as long as we get along and they’re what I consider to be a decent person/practicing Muslim and I’m attracted to them, I’d go for it.

As far as American or not, American would probably be my preference cause I feel like we’d get along easier, but wouldn’t avoid talking to a non-American either

A1 out of curiosity which two cultures got married?

C1 I agree it def is a lot easier when you share the same culture, but if I have a good person in front of me and they check off all the boxes, and make me happy - thennnn i’m not looking any further just because they are a different race/ethnicity.

I concur OP. If you're happy, do you ☺️

So it looks like nobody actually has in this thread.

Indian and white

A1 - was her or she Muslim when you met them?

Yep. She was Muslim before I met her. she didn't convert for me

@A1: are you Indian, Indian American? Any advice on what I should be mindful about? I’m Indian too and talking to an American. She is Caucasian, revert for 6-8 yrs.

My wife is a great mother. She, however, is not very physically affectionate and always has a million excuses. I crave physical affection both in the bedroom and in general. I’ve communicated this many times and nothing has changed. It’s driving me nuts and making me feel completely unwanted. I work hard for our family and try to do things around the house as well but often work many more hours overall. Not really sure the point of writing all this out, I just hate it.

Our family has been navigating all of the ups and downs of these times by unplugging more and spending more time in prayer. It has helped greatly! I have young kids in addition to being a teacher, and just simply spending more time outside with them has made a world of difference for everyone! Just wanted to share in case it helps someone.

How does one deal with a lifelong friend that’s always acting like they’re better than you? The dude’s a pilot in the navy and has an ego bigger than the world. Apparently accountants are cat piss

Cousin reminded me that I can say the most righteous, fact or Bible-based message to another, but it’s a sounding gong / meaningless if I made them feel bad (was debating with a younger relative). So much truth to remember in our daily interactions with others. So much weight to practice from 1 Corinthians 13:1-2- If I speak in the tongues of men or angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial.

I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?
