The Need To Accept Interfaith Marriage

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.

Marriage between two people with different religion can be difficult, there are so many factors that they need to consider and boundaries they have to overcome. Factors such as differences, especially when it comes to their beliefs, other than that they also have to take in mind the probable reaction of their loved ones, and there are so much more that they have to face and surpass.

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.

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.

One might wonder why anyone would chose a complex life, the answer to that is no one wants to live a complex, difficult life.

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.
