Dear MIMsters: We Are Everything We Want In Each Other But Our Religions Are Getting In Our Way

We are both in love and are everything we want in each other but our religions are getting in our way.
I am a young woman who will be turning 24 this December. I am a teacher and I hail from a very strong Muslim family.
I am the last of 2 children and the only girl. I am currently a very devout Christian and happen to be the only Christian in the family. I must admit that it has been a very tough journey. I have been rejected and several opportunities have been snatched from me because I have always held on to Christ.
I dated a pastor and almost married him but he was a serial liar, a cheat and I would always fall sick with affliction especially spiritual attacks whenever I got close to him. My family was strongly against us and out of stubbornness, I lost my virginity to him.
He became cruel, abusive and distant especially when I complained about his bad habits. So we had to end it, even though we communicated once in a while. But for about a year now, I met my colleague teacher who is a devout Muslim. We were like brother and sister and then we became best friends. Along the line, we fell deeply in love.
He is the opposite of my ex. He is honest, hardworking, God fearing and loves me so much because he has shown it on several occasions.
At the beginning of our relationship, he had absolutely no problem at all with me maintaining my religious stand but as things got serious, he started having issues with that. He complains about how his family acceptance of me is very vital to us. He lost his virginity to me too.
He once broke up with me but it affected him so badly that he cried and broke down to an extent that, people had to come in to reconcile us. We had agreed to keep our relationship a secret but during those period, people got to know the whole truth about us.
I am gifted with having revelations about the future in dreams and visions. I have seen in several dreams that we will be very happy together if we marry. It was even revealed to me before I met him that I will meet him at the place and period I met him.
Everything, both spiritually and physically points to the fact we are soul mates and that we have a very bright future together but the religious beliefs and fear of me being rejected by his family is a huge problem.
We love each other so very much but I am scared of losing my salvation. But the Christians I come into contact with even in church as just mates and friends haven’t been good to me either. I am so very stranded in my thoughts because my father who has been taken care of me even after I became a Christian boldly told me that if I bring a Christian man home, he and the family will disown me.

  • I wouldn’t to judge you, but I believe if your truly love Christ you would not have sex with him. Your visions & revelations, especially on the Muslim guy, I doubt if God gave you that vision. It could be a manipulation, spiritually to hook you up with the Muslim guy. I mean, you’re in battle and yet you harboring the treat still. Aunty go and pray again, again and again. I no judge you o, but pray.

  • Marriages between different religions has been waxing strong, it shouldn’t be a barrier.

  • Hmmm, there are some thing u need to get straight here before u embark on a costly journey and there are some question u need to sincerely answer. Are u sure that the muslim guy is the will of God for u? or permisive will? Christ will never give u a guy that will take away ur salvation(cote me anywhere) According to u, u hav sacrifice enough for accepting Christ i dont think u need to back out now. Being that u met a decieved christian does not mean that there are not faithful brothers out there. All what u need is to return to the cross and confess ur sins (u dont see premarital sex as a sin) and forsake it. Never loose ur salvation on the platform of marriage, its a costly mistake.

  • hmmm pre marital sex isn’t a sign of true xtianity.dat Dey dint good to u is no reason.salvation is personal run ur race
