[quote=Anonymous]Not sure whether to put this under relationships or religion, but I'll start out here. For the interfaith couples who two who genuinely believe and are members of different faiths (rather than couples with one person who genuinely believes & the other is of another faith in name only, but happily concedes all family religious matters to the more devout spouse), what have you agreed vis a vis the kids and how is that working out? We have an agreement that allows us both to fulfill our religious and ethical duties to our children, but its implementation in practical matters is obviously challenging at times - and it would be helpful to hear how others are navigating this. How do you determine family-wide traditions on holidays that are specific to one faith and not the other? How do you navigate choosing a school? Who gets to instruct your children on matters of religion aside from parents and clergy? If your collective social circle balances heavily more towards more one community than the other, what, if anything, do you do about that?

Thanks!

ps - divorce isn't of interest to either of us. We're in love and happy and just looking for more ideas to consider in how to balance the needs of all. [/quote]
