All muslim men are not the same- married to Egyptian man

Submitted by Bronze (United States), Oct 21, 2006 at 14:06

I am an African-American Christian woman from USA married to a Muslim Egyptian man. He is a very kind, respectful, religious, and family-oriented person. We are both divorced and I have twin boys from previous, and he loves them. His family accepts me. Before he and I married, I met his family in Egypt. I did not have to convert to be with him and I would not have converted to be with him. I will admit we have ups and downs in our marriage but we are committed to one another and our marriage. Our marriage in Egypt cost only $100.00 and he paid my dowry. There are bad men all over the world. No one should generalize all Muslim/Arab men because they all are not the same.
