Why Christians and Muslims marriages will never work

 By Kiprono Willy

When I think about Christians and Muslims marrying each other, the only thing that comes to mind is trouble. Yes we are both human beings and love is blind, but really religion has become something that prevents two people in love from getting married.
I have heard of cases from women who want to be disowned by the parents simply because the woman is in love with a Christian man and vice versa. Trying to choose between your parents and the person you love and want to marry can be a quite a dilemma.
Christians have their own beliefs and so do Muslims. Trying to mix the two is like oil and water; one will always be at the top and the other one at the bottom. The problem usually comes when the man asks the woman to convert and be of the other religion. I don’t understand why I should change my religion for the name of loving someone.
Take this scenario; Muslim man marries a Christian woman but both retain their own religion.  Will the parents agree to this 100 percent? Will the man and the woman allow their children to choose the religion they want? In my opinion, I believe that would not work at all.
Mtoto umleavyo ndivyo akuavyo. If you were brought up a Christian or Muslim, why change your faith after falling in love with someone? Why try to please other people and lose your faith? That is simply absurd.
I believe, as much as most of you would disagree, that most Muslim and Christian marriages don’t work out well.  For the Christian and Muslim lovers out there, all I can say is that I wish you all the best of luck, but just remember that your relationship will not be a bed of roses because you will have to work really hard to keep it.(courtesy of ureport)
