Dear Sandy

The relationship, the family & the village on the face of it are not conducive/supportive to spiritual exploration outside of their prescribed religion.  So if you are deeply committed to having the spiritual life of your choice then finish this relationship immediately and allow the girl & her family the chance to find a more suitable candidate to join their family/community.

This may seem harsh & judgmental but it is not meant to be. Please look at the Buddhist teachings on what is and makes a precious human life, this could easily apply to any religion/spiritual enquirer. I am a practicing Buddhist and have several very good friends who are equally committed to their Christian belief, we are supportive of each others endevours and are respectful of any differences we may hold.

I hope you find a supportive, trusting community & relationship.

Kind regards

Roberta
