Love Across Beliefs  delves into the fascinating world of interfaith relationships within Singapore's multicultural society. This book presents a rich tapestry of personal narratives that shed light on the joys, challenges, and invaluable lessons that emerge from loving someone of a different faith.

Through authentic, first-hand accounts, the book explores the daily realities of interfaith couples, examining how faith shapes their relationships, the primary obstacles they face, and the strategies they employ to bridge their differences. These stories, minimally edited to preserve their authenticity, offer a candid glimpse into the unique dynamics of interfaith marriages.

Singapore, with its vibrant multicultural fabric, serves as a backdrop for these compelling tales of love transcending religious boundaries. From the bustling streets of Little India to the heartlands of Ang Mo Kio, interfaith couples navigate a complex terrain shaped by legal frameworks, religious doctrines, and societal expectations. Despite the challenges, their stories reveal the resilience and strength that come from embracing diversity and fostering mutual understanding.

This book is not a prescriptive guide. It is a mosaic of experiences, each reflecting the author's unique voice. By sharing these narratives, the book aims to promote empathy, foster dialogue, and provide support for those navigating the complexities of interfaith relationships.
