Hello, I'm Rahul Tandon.
Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.
This time, in BBC OS Conversations,
we're bringing people together to share their experiences of religion and romance.
US Vice President JD Vance spoke recently about his interfaith marriage.
He's a Christian and his wife Usha is a Hindu.
They've raised their children as Christians and the vice president said he hopes that his wife will one day convert.
His comments have proved controversial, but it got us thinking,
how difficult is it to stay together when you have different religious faiths?
Later we'll hear from families where partners have converted to Islam and Judaism for love.
First though, we're going to meet two couples who, like the Vances, have interfaith marriages.
My colleague, Luke Jones, spoke to Reza, who's a Muslim.
He's married to Jessica, a Christian, there in Los Angeles.
And Halley is a Christian married to Suketu.
He's Hindu.
Living in the US state of Indiana, Halley and Suketu met at high school 10 years ago.
It was very difficult for us, especially talking to like my parents about it.
Halley's parents were very accepting and everything went really smooth on that end,
but that was a big challenge for us to figure it out.
And it took about a year for us to have that conversation over and over again to fully understand our stance on both sides,
