Our Muslim and Catholic Marriage | Finding Harmony in Religion and Culture
Listen now
Description
What do you do if you fall in love with someone from a different religion and culture? This week a married Muslim Malay and Catholic Chinese couple will share the challenges that await an inter-religious and inter-cultural marriage. A marriage is often a union between families; some families with multiple generations within a household will naturally struggle with marriages across culture and religion.   On the 15th of November 2008, Sarah and Ben met during a youth expedition project. Within days they connected so deeply that they questioned everything they assumed about love. You see, Sarah who was a Muslim Malay had always assumed her future was with a Muslim (Islamic) boy, and yet Ben was a Catholic Chinese. For them to make things work, they would quite literally have to cross both heaven and hell, and relearn everything they once knew about love. This is not a love story, but is a story about love. Together they will share 1) How they connected in India during a youth expedition project 2) How Ben, a Catholic Chinese won the approval of his Muslim Malay In-Laws. 3) How are they moving forward raising an inter-religious and cultural family.
