[quote=Anonymous]OP's post sounds a lot like my own situation when growing up.  My mom is protestant, dad is Catholic.  They had joint officiants at their wedding and stayed in their respective churches, venturing only occasionally to the other's church.  My mom has always voiced the exact same complaint about communion in the Catholic church as OP's husband.

As a child I was raised more or less in both churches, attending CCD classes on Saturday for my first communion, then going to Sunday school and church with my mom.  As I got older my parents attended church less.  For a while in high school I was involved with a protestant youth group that I liked.   Fast forward to the present - My spouse is not religious; I am Christian although not a member of any specific church.

I don't mean to bore you with my meandering story.  My point is, it's OK to attend a different church than your spouse, it's OK not to have all the answers, and it's OK to take your children to various churches.  Ultimately this is something they'll make up their own mind about, and I don't think any church or religion on this earth is without its flaws.

My grandmother, still alive, attends any ceremony she can at her nursing home (Catholic, protestant, even Jewish).  I think at the end  of life one is closer to God and can more easily recognize there are various paths to God. [/quote]
