[quote=Anonymous]He says that your families will have to accept things, but he wants you to convert? 
I'd tread very lightly here, and I speak from experience. My ex is Jewish, and I'm Protestant. We sort of touched on the subject before we were married, but once we started thinking about kids it became a major issue. 
His parents tried to bribe us with private school if we sent our future kids to a Jewish school. 
How do each of you feel about circumcision? 
What will you do about Christmas? Easter? Jewish holidays? 
Will you want your children baptized?
Do you ever plan to go to church/temple as a family? How will the other parent feel about that?
Do you want to get married in a church? The Catholic Church won't recognize your marriage if it's not in a church, and they will basically tell you that you are living in sin and shouldn't take communion. 
It's an easy answer to say "we will raise our children in both religions," but a person can only be one religion. While parts of Judiasm and Christianity are similar, there is a major difference. 
Do your (or you) parents think that non believers in Jesus go to hell? This could potentially be a very big issue if you have family who can't keep their opinions to themselves. 
Just some things to think about. They can be overcome, but is definitely recommend some premarriage counseling to really hash out these issues before you start down the road to marriage and kids. 
Good luck to you both!
