Marriage In A Muslim Country

It isn't easy for LDS singles in Jordan to get married.  Why?
  1. Almost everyone here is a Muslim.  As a Christian, marrying a Muslim is impossible.  It won't happen.
  2. Marrying another Christian isn't easy either.  The family probably wouldn't allow it because we're "Mormons".
  3. The only eligible LDS singles are your cousins.  
Yesterday I talked with our branch president, President Amer. He's 32 years old, returned missionary, active in the Church, has a good job and no prospects of marriage.

Amer expressed his deep desire to find a young woman with a testimony and marry her in the temple for time and eternity.  He wants his children to be born in the covenant and be nurtured and taught the gospel in their home.  He isn't willing to settle for less.  May God bless him.  He's a great man.
