The Justin J Rahman Experience

How to Face Religious Differences in Relationships | Ep. 18 [VIDEO]


Listen Later

I sit down with Maddie, a 28-year-old female, to dive into the complex dynamics of relationships, especially when influenced by differing religious beliefs. We discuss the importance of mutual respect, curiosity, and understanding in a partnership, even if your religious viewpoints don't align perfectly. Maddie shares her personal journey of moving away from Christianity and how she maintains her relationship despite these changes. I also talk about my experiences growing up in a Muslim-majority country and how moving to the States influenced my religious views. We touch on topics like open-mindedness, the evolving spirituality of younger generations, and the importance of maintaining personal value systems in relationships. The conversation takes a turn into personal anecdotes, dating experiences, and the struggles of balancing personal needs with those of a partner. This episode is filled with vulnerable, honest dialogue about love, religion, and finding common ground in relationships.
