I have a cousin who married an egyjtian man, she's frm the UK . i don't know the ins & outs about the whole thing, but I know that when she had her children she was not allowed to travel home with them on her own, she could not take them out of the country without the husband.

Egyptian Christians are very Stict with their religion & family too, It to is a cultural thing and i believe that a lot of christian churches are kinda like mosques in the sense that there are no seats, they stand, Kneel, and press their foreheads to the floor just like muslims. apparently the muslims adopted this form of praying from the catholics so many yrs ago..

and then there is a girl i know, she married an egyjptian and they' re v.happy 2gether they have 1 daughter. but when they go to his family for holidays they don't bring their daughter anymore because his granny is v.strict and says the daughter should be circumcised so she does'nt end up a tramp because european christians are so loose. people are what they are and it is more a cultural problem than a religion thing.. Be careful if he and his family are religous. be careful.
