I'm very sorry you were through that at your husband's family's house very glad your two are in your own home now. And I hope his family has grown to love you. 🩷 I have a question. My friend wasn't me to cover my hair. Wear hijab. I'm Christian, I don't see a reason to convert to Islam. But I'm respectful and I'm learning. I already wrap my hair before I meet him and wear modest clothes. He expressed desire for a complete Muslim family but that he wouldn't force me to convert. We did talk about children if we married, and I told him I would not mind the children being Muslim and I would make sure the children follow the Muslim faith. But as for me I'm learning and I have to make up in my own mind if I will convert. He agree It's just the hijab. I think it's very beautiful and even want to try sometime. He said in Egypt even Christian women wear hijab and he also said I cannot wear make up. Although I just wear a little lipstick. Idk if this is 100% correct that I have to wear hijab and not wear lipstick. He also made reference to me wearing black. And even telling me which president to vote for as the USA elections are coming up. He doesn't live here but he just comes out and say "don't vote for that person vote for the other" He just seems very petty sometimes with his bossy concerning my clothes. But all is still going well otherwise.
Hello, Dear. I'm fine thank you! Christians in Egypt don’t usually wear the hijab. They might wear it only for church or special religious holidays. Sometimes, you might see Christian women with a bandana or scarf, but it’s rare. If you marry your friend, your children will be Muslim since the father’s religion is passed down to the kids, and you should be ready for that. It can be hard to balance different religious views in marriage, and disagreements can happen, but it’s possible to overcome them if your husband respects you. As for the hijab, it's your choice. If you decide to wear it, keep it on, but if you’re unsure, it’s better not to wear it because taking it off later could upset your husband. You could try wearing a bandana or just loosely cover your hair, like some Christian women married to Muslim men do. Even many Muslim women in Egypt don’t wear the hijab. There’s no religious rule against makeup; it’s just your man’s personal preference. Both in Islam and Christianity, makeup is allowed as long as it’s not too much. In fact, many Egyptian and Arab women wear more makeup than Western women. Wearing black is often seen as festive clothing in Egypt, especially during celebrations or Ramadan. But again, it’s your man’s preference, and he should respect your own style. Many women, even those who wear hijab, dress in colorful and beautiful clothes. Based on your description, your man might be from a smaller town or village, not a big city like Cairo or Alexandria. Men from larger cities tend to be more liberal and less concerned about their wife’s clothing. That doesn’t mean your man isn’t a good person, but you may feel uncomfortable if he is too controlling about how you dress.
