Ask O4E readers!

Hello O4E readers, I pondered on whether to write my story or just ask that you throw the 
question out there. Is it okay for a Christian girl to marry a muslim? What are the challenges, are there people who have gone through it and was it a smooth sail?I am a Christian, love God so much and I have been a relationship for about 1 year. The guy has been a good guy also a Christian. He loves me; we are friends and he just seems perfect and ticks all the boxes. The issue is, I have had some little reservations in my heart which I do not want to bore you with because they might seem like nothing. Or maybe it’s just instincts that I am just settling to get married. No excitement or deep intense feeling of love. And I keep telling myself I would cope.I recently met a Muslim guy and I initially I thought he was just a distraction and the devil at work, but I realised we have a mad connection. He doesn’t even have as much (materially) as my boyfriend and to be honest. This doesn’t bother me because I know any man who marries me will be extremely successful. We would build and grow together and I know how determined and focused he is. The laughter is endless and I know how I feel about him deep inside. He is so easy to talk to and interestingly he also asked me to marry him straight up. The question is I know I really like the Muslim guy and I’ll be genuinely happier with him but do I leave certainty, stability, the norm and comfort zone or what I am used to for uncertainty and risks? His family loves me already and he isn’t asking me to change my religion or anything.I have only told a few people in my family. But I know the decision ultimately lies with me. I am a little scared because of the ideals I have built in my head and what I think is acceptable especially since you hear different stories everyday but the truth is I know how happy he makes me.I am praying seriously but I just need to hear from experts or other people out there who have gone through same.Thank you very much.
