<human>: My Boyfriend and I love each other very much and our relationship has been, from what I can tell, relatively standard I.e we have our ups and downs. 

He is a Muslim, does not drink, prays 5 times a day, reads the Quran, goes to a Mosque, you name it! I have a great deal of respect for him and his religion but I am and always will be a Christian.  We both owe a lot of who we are today to our faiths. 

This difference between us doesn't seem to phase him when I bring it up but I'm worried that this is only because we haven't been dating that long. I have already stopped drinking and eating pork as a courtesy to him (by this I mean if I'm with him or will be seeing him within the next 24 hours).  

What I'm after is some other peoples experiences of being in a relationship with someone who's religion is different. Are there any success stories out there? My very Christian friends are highly against the whole thing and say that it will never work. I don't know how many church messages I've heard about how important it is to find 'a Christian partner'.

Is it this kind of negativity that ultimately leads to the demise of a partnership? Or should I be worried that problems will arise in the future. 

Part of me thinks 'fuck everyone and their negative opinions' but what if we decide to have kids in the future? How will we raise them? Obviously they will grow up one day and make their own decision but I have no idea what would happen until then.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
