Review:

Finding where love and faith intersect, Interfaith Marriage by Dilip Amin, Ph.D. provides a guide to weathering the difficult conversation of religion in marriage before marriage. Aimed at Hindu, Muslims, and Christians in interfaith relationships who are struggling to have important conversations about the role faith will play in their married lives and the lives of their extended families. With great care and respect the author examines each faith, where various faiths intersect, and what difficult conversations must occur prior to marriage. Underlining the dynamics of stances on faith as time progresses, the author paints a realistic image of religions role in married life and the pressures from the extended families to conform to religious norms. This guide to understanding , conversating, and establishing guidelines about faith prior to marriage is practical and informative.

While this book is practical and informative for individuals and their families involved in interfaith relationships this guide is more useful for individuals in the Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities. The author focuses on the family dynamics and expectations that exist in these faith communities, as well as the unique differences and challenges within these communities. As a person who is not a part of these communities there was little extractable information that went beyond other texts within the same genera. If you are Hindu, or an individual whose faith worships many gods, in a relationship with a Christian or Muslim, an individual whose faith worships one god, then you should purchase this book immediately. The author provides in depth insights into the interworking's of each faith, how to make compromises, and how to speak to the parents of the couple. However, if you are not in these groups this book does not provide more information about navigating interfaith relationships than other books of the same genera.
