I am Catholic, teach in a Catholic school, and my husband was never baptised. Actually his mother is Jewish and in the Jewish religion whatever your mother is, that is what you are. So he always says if he has to pick, he would be Jewish. His birth father (sperm-donor) is Catholic and his step father is pure Catholic...so they have always celebrated both Jewish and Christian holidays. Before we got married he was thinking of converting to Catholicism, but I told him if he was going to do it he should do it for himself and not me. In the end he decided not to do it because he was only doing it for me.

We got married in a Catholic Church with a full mass because he knew it was something my family and I always wanted and he really didn't mind where we got married as long as we did. We are going to raise our children Catholic because he doesn't really practice anything while I do, so we thought that was the best thing to do. I know this seems that were are doing everything that is involved in my religion, but we still go to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur parties and I fully intend our children to know that they and their families come from two different religions and to learn about them both.

I don't see any problem in marrying someone that is a different religion. If you truly love eachother and are willing to compromise and make it work, it will. Plus, if you are different Religions (like Jewish and Christian) at least you won't have to fight with your family/in-laws as to where to go for the holidays!!
