My parents are very conservative and they don't understand my relationship with someone from a different religious background. How can I convince them that this is serious and not just a phase?

The best way to convince your parents that the relationship is serious is to be open and honest with them. Talk to them about your partner and why you are so committed to each other. Let them get to know your partner so they can see what a great fit you two make together. It may also help for your partner and their family to have frequent, meaningful interactions in order for everyone involved to build a strong foundation of trust. Schedule visits, calls or dates online where discussions about faith can come organically without putting too much pressure on anyone. When both parties are respectful of each other’s traditions, this creates open-minded moments between families, which then encourages further connection among them in the long run.”

Tell them how you feel about your partner, what you want for the future and why their religion does not influence your relationship or yours. Explain the importance of respecting each others' beliefs, and how you two can enrich one another in areas where tradition may be challenged. Being open and honest will go a long way towards convincing your parents that this is a lasting relationship, and they can provide the support you need if they see that it truly means something to you.
