my experience only

i am happily married to an Egyptian man and I have MS. I am Christian and he is Muslim. As far as religion, the thought never crossed my mind to convert. My husband didn't want any kids because he is the eldest child and had to provide for 5 younger brothers starting at the age of 20 because his father died. Two of his brothers are married now, and he has two brothers in high school and one in college. With MS, I definitely didn't want kids. I do live in Egypt but I do come back to the US every 6 months for check up.
