Why not? Is this something the gurus taught?

You as well, and I really don't mean any harm to anyone, this is a sincere request for answers and I want to be able to understand his thinking more. I mean if there is something religious that us holding him back, I would be sad about it, even a little upset that he would start a relationship with me in the first place, but I would understand. but as far as I can tell in my research I have found that sikhs are very tolerant of other religions.

I'm sorry, that's not his name, and he isn't my boyfriend...and I'm not hiding my name, no one asked...I'm Lori :-)

we aren't intimate anymore and haven't been for months, but I would never ask him to convert to Islam. from the research I have done about sikh ism I totally respect and believe a lot of it. I wouldn't even want him to convert to Islam because I am a firm believer that we all have a purpose to fulfill and God determines where we are/will be in life, so who am I to say anyone is wrong, them I would be questioning the reasoning of God himself. But why would he be embarrassed to marry a Muslim girl? He has no problem introducing me to his family... Oh and yes I was married, but we didn't even met until after almost a year after my divorce

Okay I'm a Muslim and never really knew much about sikhism until I met my best friend. I was really down facing serious life issues, when I met sukha Singh. He did not have a turban, and he was clean shaven. I wasn't being a very good Muslim either, I didn't wear the hijab and never prayed. But he gave me a job and I agreed to not work for money but he would pay my rent and help me when I needed help. We began an intimate relationship for a couple of weeks and I started to realize that things needed to change. I began to pray every day, and even wear the hijab more often. But I couldn't go anyfarther while still being intimate with him. So I refused any more advances and told him that it was not going to happen anymore. We both took a few days to come to grips with this decision. But after a few days it became easy to just be friends. As he saw me advance and change with prayer and volunteering at the masjid, he became inspired to grow his beard. And soon he started to read and pray every night. He began wearing his turban and everything seemed to be getting beret and better. we are still friends, best friends even. But be still tries to be intimate with me. I told him that the only way I would be intimate with him is ifwe got married...but he refuses to marry me. Even though he says he loves me and one day he wants to be married, but apparently just not to me... We compliment each other so well, and help each other so much! He loves my kids and plays with them and supports them and protects us...but he refuses to marry me and I just can't figure out why

I have studied many different religions and have found that lots of the different religions have the same core principles but different actions and ends. If we stay singular in this world instead of coming together, many regretful things may come about and already are. We all have a purpose in this life and we have to know how to fulfill that purpose. If we close or mins to think that anyone else may be just as correct as we are then we miss out on several opportunities if pre happiness by enjoying the qualities of everyone leading to racism ethnic cleansing and wrong action in general. Everyone had something to offer in this world and we have to open or minds and or hearts to see the benefit each individual can bring
