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.

Why is it, when one mentions about interfaith marriage it marks as a sin for some, when did love ever become a sin. Among most religion, love is the core for faith to blossom and spread. With that notion itself, it is clear that no one is a sinner when they are simply fighting for the ones he or she loves.

It is true, that with different religion there will always be differences in beliefs and values. However if the ones in the relationship are willing to set that aside then no one has the right to judge them by the norms in their different religious circle.

The first reason is, everyone has the right to decide for themselves, whether he or she like someone that is not part of the current society he or she is living in. Second reason is if they are willing to set their differences aside to come up to a conclusion of marriage then it means that they value each others presence more than one could possibly fathom.

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.

Some might think that everything is complicated when it comes to interfaith marriages, however not everything about it is difficult and complex. Sometimes you just meet someone that makes you realize how amazing and vast the world can be. Makes you look in the mirror and see that best of version of yourself. And when one meets this special person its hard to try to pretend as if you never met and you never fell for him or her.

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.

In this multicultural society with multi religious people the boundaries and reasons that once kept different people of different views apart is slowly disappearing. More and more the realization that all are the same, and are all made by flesh, blood and bones. All can coexist without having to establish and lines or walls in between.

One can only imagine the good outcome of all these realization and positive changes. And as more people around the world establish their own perspective and positive ideology, one can truly imagine a better future.
