Why not take turns going to each other's churches. My husband and I enjoy participating in the others faiths.
By the way the whole "unequally yoked" thing was the same argument racists used to try and ban biracial marriages not so long ago, so it's time to drop that ridiculous notion.
You do not have to convert to go to a Catholic Church. I'm Buddhist and go to Catholic Church sometimes (although I do not take communion).

I get confused when someone describes themselves Christian as opposed to being Catholic or Lutheran. I also know about Baptists, Methodist, Presbyterians.....they are all Christians. Most people I have met that describe themselves as "Christians" would not consider going to Catholic church, so there is hope for you. This stuff makes me crazy. Alright, If you go to Catholic church you don't have to convert but in a lot of them, you won't be welcome to take communion. Depends on the Pastor. I don't know if you consider that important. I don't suppose you were married in the Catholic church or you would know this. This tells me that your husband is not a staunch, bleeding Catholic. So maybe he will be willing to go to your church. Since you didn't say what style Christian you are it is hard to make a comparison. Catholics are not literalists and do not consider the bible inerrant. The pope yes, the bible, no. If your the kind of Christian who does, maybe you should find something else to do on Sunday.

It is more complicated than it seems.
What you refer to as "Christian" church could be any number of churches. There are some crazy non-catholic churches. Normally I recommend to go to a protestant church that is a fundamentalist Biblical church. Baptists for example are like that.
If the "Christian" church you talk about is a church where people try to "speak in tongues" then I say do not go there, because that church will teach the wrong thing.
Most importantly, no matter which church you go to, is that people who you meet there go there for God and not for their traditions or as a custom, such as the case with many Catholic churches.
You want to meet believers who believe the Bible and put Jesus as the most important thing in their life.

All of the Christian Churches have a common origin, the Catholic Apostolic Church headed by the Pope. Take the time to do a historical time line chart of when each Christian religion broke away from Rome (Directly or indirectly).

It would be real nice if both of you can go to the Catholic Church. It would also be nice if you can convert to Catholicism but it is not required, but I am sure your husband will be very happy if you did and we would be too. However, you may have to learn about the Catholic Church first. Then you will discover how beautiful it really is. As they have said, at first you may not receive communion but when you are converted then you may receive communion. You will receive God Himself. Your husband as they said is required to go to the Catholic Church so I guess he would be very happy if you can join him there. God bless.

You can go to a Catholic Church and not convert. Many non-Catholic spouses do this.
By the way, your Catholic husband is a Christian too.
With love in Christ.

You are welcome to attend Catholic Mass with your husband at any time, even without converting. But please do not receive the Holy Eucharist until you have received instruction in the Catholic faith (if you ever decide to do so). Your husband, as a Catholic, is required to go to worship (Mass) every Sunday and all holy days. If he doesn't, it's a mortal sin. But if he does, he can also attend your church with you, if that's what the two of you decide to do.
You should go to Mass, though, because it will prove to you that Catholics *are* Christian. We are different from you, but we still love and worship Christ.

Your Catholic husband is required to attend Mass in a Catholic church every Sunday. Failing to do so would (for him) be (objectively) a very serious sin.
Go with him. It won't hurt a bit. Just don't receive communion.
If you want to know more, send for my Catholic Resource CD. It's free.

the catholic church is christian too.. you are a protestant christian in the point of view of the catholicism..if you are going to take the holy communion, you have to be catholic.. you should study more about the church.. but in my opinion.. the catholic is open for everyone.. even you are not catholic, you can go and to hear the mass.. maybe not to take the holy communion.. but you can listen the cult
