religion other than that of the wife and rest of family, even though you disagree with this change? Would you feel as if he is detaching from the overall family unity, when everything was done in a unified manner together for many years?

Sorry but you can't make someone change their religion, that is their right to pick what they believe in. As long as he don't try to get you to go as well, he can talk to you about his new religion, but he can't make you go to his any more than you can make him stay with yours. And sad to say some times a difference in religion will cause a family to split up, if the two religions are very different. To me, it would depend on what religion I had and which one he picked as to how I would feel. All religions have their own beliefs. Some are very close in the same beliefs and others are a lot different, so I would base it on that as to how I would feel.

a persons faith is their own personal decision. Especially if he is in a time of change and transition and he is searching for faith, please be supportive of him. He may just be curious about it, or he may be growing in a different direction that the rest of you. The best way you can show him that YOUR faith is real is by being a good example to him of kindness and godliness regardless of where he chooses to worship. And yes I would definitely miss the togetherness of family worship, but think about it. That is only one or two hours a week. You live with him for 24/7. I would try for unity and love and companionship and look at the big picture of your life together, not just a place you visit once a week.

Compromise Compromise Compromise! the difficulty with maximum religions is that the followers get stuck in the mind-set of, "we've were given the astounding solutions and we are excellent; for this reason, anybody else is incorrect." Baptist and Lutheran are not too a techniques bumped off in the taking section in field. You adult men ought to be able to artwork it out. boost the children in both faiths, or in a impartial faith. provide the children a sturdy non secular education in ALL religions (Unitarian Universalist Churchs are fairly reliable at this) and enable them make their very own alternatives even as they are previous adequate.

yes i believe religion is a very personal choice and as long as he is still an avid part of the family he can believe whatever he wants..and he shud also not try to convert the rest of u...just accept it and try to support him in any decision he makes.

AS I SEE IT; WE HAVE ONLY ONE ALL MIGHTY REGARDLESS OF WHICH CHURCH / RELIGION YOU WORSHIP. THEREFORE YOU SHOULD CONTINUE YOUR PATH AND THE HUSBAND SHOULD CONTINUE HIS PATH AND LET THE CHILDREN FOLLOW THE PATH THEY FEEL IS THE MOST BENEFICIAL TO THEM. IN A WAY IT SHOULD KEEP THE FAMILY UNITY BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS GIVEN THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE THEIR OWN PATH AND BELIEF. IN THAT THE BELIEF IN GOD IS SOMETHING WITHIN AND NEEDS NOT BE PROVEN TO ANYONE

sticky one there...religion is a very personal choice and experience...i would think it is okay as long as it does not harm the family...but, he decision to go this path may indicate more sweeping changes in his life...you may want to speak with him and understand his motivations...also, there is a huge difference between catholic/baptist as opposed to catholic/buddhism...
