When Maria met her husband, he was lending his soccer skills to win her a match. As the day went along, they spent more time together at a party and watched The Lion King. Before they knew, their affection had blossomed into a full-blown romance.

But their romance was short-lived. Hazem was moving to a new city to find a job so they mutually agreed on a breakup. Eventually, Hazem was back in Waterloo and they rekindled their relationship.

Now, they just had one more thing to consider: Hazem is Muslim and Maria is Christian. Today, we hear about how Hazem & Maria have worked through their experience and aftermath of their romance.

AboutLove Without Borders is a weekly podcast where Ginni Saraswati explores the journey of couples who overcame insurmountable odds in their quest for love. When it comes to love, borders can be both physical and metaphorical. Like two pieces of the same puzzle, many of us find our perfect fit outside of the places we come from. When it comes to love, there are no borders.
