My boyfriend and I are thinking of getting married. He is Muslim and I am Catholic. We've discussed the options of getting married. The Catholic Church DOES allow me to marry a Muslim and he IS allowed to marry me. The problem comes to how we would raise our kids (Catholic or Muslim). Of course, both our faiths would like them raised in their respective places. After much discussion, we are tossing around the following thoughts and would like some advice...
1) Even though neither one of our faiths agree with birth control, we really don't want to have kids and would rather avoid it altogether give the circumstances of our beliefs.
2) If we did decide to have kids, does it seem possible to raise the kids to understand both beliefs and let them decide on their own? Would it be best to go together as a family to both the Church and Mosque every week? That way, it's equal for all?
