Hello, fellow, CSers!
As some of you know, I'm in school at the moment. The end of the semester is approaching rapidly, and in one class I'm having no luck. This class is intercultural communications, and for my final paper I decided to study just what it is that happens when the two partners in a relationships are of different faiths. After all, I know one couple where one partner is a Druid and the other a Baptist, and a couple in which one partner is a witch and the other a Catholic. You'd think it would be easy.
But no. Getting ahold of these people is impossible and when I can get ahold of them, someone is sick, the baby is throwing up, or both.
Therefore, I turn to you. If any of you out there are in interfaith relationships where your faith is totally different from that of your partner, call the Maury Show...
Wait, no. Don't call Maury. Tell me about it instead. Especially if you have kids, because that adds an entirely new wrinkle to the situation. How do you balance your faith with someone whose faith disregards or disagrees with yours? If you have kids, which faith, if any, are you going to raise them in?
In other words, how do you make it work? I want to know!
