[Anne23867]

Such questions are painful and difficult. I’m Jewish and was engaged at 19 to a man I truly loved – a Catholic. We were counseled in l980 by a Rabbi and a priest, who both advised us not to marry because of religious differences. Our parents were quite unhappy, as was the rest of the society from either side around us. We took their advice and decided not to marry. We continued to date for 10 more years, then parted ways as friends. Today he is married to a wonderful Catholic woman and has two children. I also married a splendid Jewish man, and we have a child. It is true that life can be challenging and raising children requires committment. Why complicate things by settling for someone who doesn’t share the same religious beliefs and values as you? Go away to school, find your own true faith and then search for a man in that same faith. Then you will start on even footing to build a life and family with your life partner.
