The Problems Facing The Jewish Interfaith Marriage

By Jerry Baker


Nowadays there is rapid growth in the rate of intermarriages among the people belonging to a different religion. Many people fall in love with one another and fall for each other such that they do not consider some factors that may hinder them. However, marriage between different faiths is legal and it is practiced in California. Despite the fact that these occasions do happen, there are many challenges facing the Jewish interfaith marriage.

After marrying from another religious group, most people develop the feeling that they have betrayed their religion and abandoned it. This feeling always occurs when the family members from both parties are against the issue of their children marrying. Later, there will arise some sorts of misunderstanding that may affect the relationship of the two for a very long time.

One partner does not fare much better than the other. Here, there arises a problem where one is needed to cope up with the religion of this other person. The problem arises when the family is faced with the reality that their child is supposed to convert to another religion. The partner faces a lot of challenges more so when he is supposed to abandon his religion and change his religious identity.

The state of a country depends on the upward mobility of its education level. This poses an immense challenge to the just married people when they will be settling down. The socio-economic position of the country they will be living in may differ from the one they are used to thus this will be a challenge to them copying up with that particular situation.

The partners may also lack support from their friends and families in the initial period of their friendship due to the fact that they are from different religion. These can bring a problem with trust issues among them later that will destroy the strength of their relationship. Therefore, it is good if they take time so that they can understand each other fully and have that confidence to introduce themselves to their families so as to avoid this type of problem.

Since the rules and life guidance changes from one faith to another, the couple will have a big time failing to understand each other. This is mostly because one is always used to follow certain rules in life hence adapting to the new ones will become a challenge to them. The marriage may end up coming to an end because of this minor problem among the duo.

There are some situations which are inevitable in the life of these partners. The problem of religious belief sometimes may become irresolvable, many people cannot think outside what they have been taught from the time they were born hence they cannot be patient waiting for what they are not used to in life. Some may also face a challenge in accepting the difference between them and hence they forget about the love they had for one another.

After sometimes, the two may wind up having children. This will be a big problem because they may fail to decide on which religion will they worshiped and brought up using it. This will also bring rise to conflicts between the duo.
