Please think carefully Sandee!

Sandee, it sounds like you have a long distance relationship here with an Egyptian Muslim. I would strongly recommend that you think carefully before you take steps that could change your life drastically!

There are enough couples who marry after being together for years who are not prepared for the challenges of marriage, even in their home environment where everything is the same and familiar and with similar cultures.

Are you in love with someone you don't know, that is what is scary. If you know nothing about Islam or the Muslim way of life, I urge you to read up on other's experiences and the consequences before you make a decision. There was a recent story about arab men starting internet relationships with women to get green cards or to get them to come to their country and live under muslim law. Please don't let that happen to you.

Be safe.
