Changing religion for love
Couples share their experiences of religion and romance
How difficult is it to stay together when you have different religious faiths?
US Vice President JD Vance spoke recently about his interfaith marriage 鈥 he鈥檚 a Christian and his wife, Usha, is Hindu. They are raising their children as Christians, and the Vice President said he hopes that his wife will one day convert.
In our conversations, we bring together happily married couples with different faiths 鈥揗uslim, Hindu and Christian 鈥 to discuss how they navigate religion in their relationships.
We also hear from couples in the US and Malaysia, including Kylie, who converted from Christianity to Judaism. 鈥淢y husband was very firm that he wanted to marry a Jewish woman,鈥 Kylie tells us. 鈥淟ooking back if I hadn鈥檛 gone on this journey, he probably wouldn鈥檛 have ever gotten married and that would have been very sad.鈥
