Religious backgrounds are mind sets. Very difficult to argue because the teachings are set in the minds of children and the mind matures within the parameters instilled by the teacher, most often the Mother of the child. Adults are confronted with all the variants of all the other mothers' teachings and in relationships of the male/female adult these little differences can become real problems of the order and well being of any household. What it means is that one or the other is going to have to give something up for the sake of the relationship. The word cope means to give in.

I think it depends on the couple and that most tend to show the children both religions, on the other hand some couples agree prior to have a child raised in one or the other's faith. In my opinion if the couple are interfaith then both sides should be shown equally and when the child is old enough let them make their own decision

It's really not a big deal between my husband and I. Actually, I don't even know what he believes and doesn't believe in. When we met, he claimed Atheism. And I sort of claimed Christianity (although I was not very strong in the faith at all.) Recently, he's gone back to Catholicism. And I am Agnostic. Whatever he chooses, it's fine with me. He just knows that if he wants to get back into a religion...I'm not going to church with him.
We do have discussions about beliefs every now and then. But, they never turn into arguments....it's just not worth it to fight over something where there is no proof one way or another.

Respect and tolerance.
I believe in lots of gods and my husband doesn't believe in any. We still find the others point of view really interesting. We agree the kids have to find thier own path and all we can do is answer thier questions and be as available as we can, supportive of whatever god, or no god at all, that they choose. Faith doesn't define love.

We respect each others right to believe what we believe. My wife and I disagree on religion and politics yet we have never had an argument about either.

I am Christian, hubby is agnostic.
We talk about out views with tolerance and respect, agree to disagree, and dont force one another to change. Works pretty well actually.

it's not like inter racial... if given the choice between my spouse or my religion I'd choose the spouse but then I'd want the same consideration in return... no religion makes a family...

Well, if they're christian, aka, true christian, then they would be committing a sin, we are not to be unequally yoked, meaning believer and not believer marriages.
