Different In Faith But Bound By Love

By Sarah Morris


Imagine the world that is more open to the possibility of things happening out from the norms established by a society. Take for example the possibility of falling in love with someone who has the same gender, someone older or even someone with a different religion. Now little by little those possibility are slowly being seen but not fully acknowledge. Although this is a sad fact that everyone who defies the norms and status quo faces but, things like Jewish and interfaith wedding Orange County sheds hope for a future that is free from bias judgments.

However, when one truly thinks about it, there is really nothing wrong with marrying the person you love regardless if he or she has the same religious belief as you. But then again the biggest problem does not usually come from the couples but from the people around them. Though the world has become more advance, with multi culture and multi religious individuals are living in one community.

Even with all these changes throughout the past centuries, interfaith couples from time to time faces the verdict or consequences of falling in love with someone of different religious belief, as they face cruel and bias judgements. Seeing them as sinful and a shame to their religious community when all they did was meet and pursue a person that they admire.

Though there are ways to make things easier, such as changing their religion. But it is like asking for the other to sacrifice years and years of religious values and beliefs. However in most cases as such, they make that kind of decision on their own, even if they know the weight of that decision.

That is why the world needs to accept these individuals fully. What is the difference if you love someone from the same religion or not. What if a jewish man, met a christian woman, she is compassionate, kind, and she has everything he has been looking for in a woman. Would it be right for him to not take the opportunity to marry the person that he has been looking for.

When it comes to interfaith marriages, usually the couples make their own choices, often time one converts to the others religion but there are also cases that they enter a life of love and commitment without having to force their religious belief on each other. But with this there is a great amount of understanding and respect for things to work out between the couple.

At this point regardless if you are Jewish and he or she is Catholic you could not stop yourself from pursuing her or from falling for him. And every problem from then on you would face it together.

Society now and before have a gap that individuals from these generation cannot accept fixed marriages like in the old days. Now everyone believes in independence and free will, and above all goes by the notion that no one can decided for them especially when it comes to love.

As times changing, it is time that people start to change along with it. There are just old traditions that can no longer run in the present day society. Traditions such as marriage being done by two people of the same religion, people now are more ideal then in the past decade.
