Jewish Interfaith Marriage Is A Good Thing

By Betty Schmidt


The importance of marriage must never be underestimated at any moment in time. People have been marrying since time immemorial. Marrying will not stop any time soon. It is an activity that people will continue doing until the end of time. The trend nowadays is Jewish interfaith marriage. This trend is a good one not only because it marks the start of marital bliss but also because it connects people of two different religions. That creates a harmonious society that is free of religious divisions. Intermarrying will make the world to become a better place. It should be encouraged.

Crossing the religious line and marrying someone of another religion is something that should be appreciated by those who love progress. The purpose of religion is not to divide. It is to unite. People should not hate individuals of another religion. Actually, they should love them to the point where they can marry them. One does not have to be confined to the religious cocoon.

What matters most is love. Where there is love, the two people in question can marry each other. If there is no love, there is no need to take a relationship to the next level because it will certainly not last, and there will be a high chance of divorce. There is no need to spend on a wedding if love lacks.

In the present day world, interfaith unions are quite common. They are no longer the exception. As a matter of fact, they are the order of the day in most countries. Jews are marrying Christians and Christians are marrying Muslims. A couple can end up convincing a partner to convert. In most cases, there are no conversions because people learn to coexist.

Individuals are not only crossing the religious divide. They are also crossing the racial divide. As a matter of fact, in the United States of America and in other countries, individuals are marrying people of other races. One can easily find a white man marrying a black woman. On the other hand, it is common for black men to marry Hispanic women.

Even in ancient times, there was intermarriage but it was at a low rate than is the case in the contemporary world. Nowadays, intermarriages are popular. That can be attributed to the power of the internet. Since the dawn of World Wide Web, it has been very easy for people from far flung places to interact.

Most interracial and interfaith marriages usually start online. The typical scenario involves an individual visiting a certain dating website, browsing through profiles, finding a suitable profile, initiating conversation, subsequent back and forth conversations, and finally two people start dating. Of course, one needs to have an account. One should register in a highly reputable website. Online research will make one to know reputable sites.

People are encouraged to marry. There is totally no need to stay single for a long time. By the time one reaches thirty years, one should already have married or should be planning to do so. According to many studies, married people tend to be happier and more successful. Being single can actually be a source of stress.
