I am married to a man from morocco.Yes he is muslim and I am christian.He goes to mosque and follows the five pillars of prayer each and every day. He is not wealthy but he is a hard worker and honest.any money he makes pays the bills and he tellls me to take care of the rest and yes i keep my own money.i also lived in morocco for a couple yearswith my husband and child. When in morocco i was allowed to go out to market,the stores,neighbors/family homes/I dressed as a western woman as did my child dress western

.Ultimately it was me who wanted to live in north america,he loves morocco and is very proud to be amazight and a citizen of morocco.And i am proud to call this morocan man my husband as I love and respect him as he loves and respects me.Yes at first it took time for me to understand his faith as he also read the bible to understand christainanity.I have no problem staying home being the person to care for the home and family.And when we go out we go together as a couple as my parents before me did.And I have been married to a western man and believe me i will take my moroccan husband over any canadian guy who liked to drink,beat me and let me support him for our whole marraige while his money was his only.And Elizabeth the more you push your daughter the more she will pull away from her.I know as a mother myself it is difficult to watch our children no matter their age make mistakes but that is a part of life that we must and accept and pray God will take care of them.
