Happily Married to a Moroccan Man

Submitted by Maria (United States), Aug 13, 2007 at 17:35

I'm sorry to hear so many horror stories about Moroccan men. I don't believe that it's because the man is a Muslim or a Moroccan. The reason it happens is because the guy is a Jerk - no other reason. Don't blame the country or the religion.

I know plenty of women that men from other countries and/or religions have taken them for a ride.

My husband and I have been happily married for 5 years. We have a little girl and have a second baby on the way. His family is very nice - I don't have any negative things to report.

My husband follows his faith...he prays 5 times a day...not not drink or gamble. He is also completely financially responsible for the household expenses (Islam requires the man to so) When we married the Imam (religious leader) told both of us...that My money is my money...and his money is our money. My husband never expects me to pay for any thing.

He also is a great father....he helps feed our daughter...he bathes her and plays with her. When I'm feeling under the weather he steps in and helps with the cooking and household chores. Recently the morning sickness was killing me and he did the laundry and made dinner....really great guy.

Again I'm sorry alot of you have had a terrible situation....I hope that one day you will find a good man....doesn't matter which country or religion...just as long as he treats you with the respect that all of you deserve.

Good Luck in the future.
