    I can't stop thinking about her past relationships | Finding forgiveness

    All was going well, until Sara decided to share all the skeletons inside her closet. This affected Ryan greatly, because he had always reserved himself for another and had expected his future partner to do the same. Nevertheless he tried to grow past it - "its okay" he would say. But thoughts would swirl in Ryan's mind, that would torment their relationship for months, until something changed. This is not a love story, but is a story about love. Together they will share 1) How an army dinner (social night) sowed the seeds for their relationship to blossom. 2) How Ryan & Sara worked past Sara's skeletons, to become husband and wife. 3) The beautiful proposal that Ryan planned, not knowing that Sara already knew everything.

    Our Muslim and Catholic Marriage | Finding Harmony in Religion and Culture

    What do you do if you fall in love with someone from a different religion and culture? This week a married Muslim Malay and Catholic Chinese couple will share the challenges that await an inter-religious and inter-cultural marriage. A marriage is often a union between families; some families with multiple generations within a household will naturally struggle with marriages across culture and religion.   On the 15th of November 2008, Sarah and Ben met during a youth expedition project. Within days they connected so deeply that they questioned everything they assumed about love. You see, Sarah who was a Muslim Malay had always assumed her future was with a Muslim (Islamic) boy, and yet Ben was a Catholic Chinese. For them to make things work, they would quite literally have to cross both heaven and hell, and relearn everything they once knew about love. This is not a love story, but is a story about love. Together they will share 1) How they connected in India during a youth expedition project 2) How Ben, a Catholic Chinese won the approval of his Muslim Malay In-Laws. 3) How are they moving forward raising an inter-religious and cultural family.
