Is anyone here involved in an interfaith marriage? Or are you related to or close friends with someone in an interfaith marriage? Presuming that religion/faith is a big deal to at least ONE party in the marriage, how does that all work? If you don't mind, here are some questions for those involved in interfaith relationships . . . I realize there are a lot here, but I would really appreciate any feedback.
What religion are you? What religion is your husband?
Are either or both of you very religious?
Do you view your religions as compatible with one another (e.g., two branches or denominations of the same faith) or completely at odds?
Did you know your husband was a different religion than you when you all started dating? How did that impact things early on (or did it at all)?
When you all got more serious, how did you address any potential interfaith challenges?
Do you all have any children or plan to have children? What do you (plan to) teach them about faith? Are they raised one particular religion over the other? How do you deal with any contradictions between you and your spouse's faith when it comes to the children?
Do you participate in your spouse's faith traditions and vice versa?
This one is for my church folks: Do you get the side-eye from super-duper saved folks for being "unequally yoked"?
Would you say being in an interfaith relationship has strained or strengthened your personal faith? How so?
Anything else you would like to add about this topic?
