Re: Raising a Child in a Mixed-Faith Marriage

Ha! That was funny on facebook. He actually thought you were being aggressive. Until I pointed out to him that you were posting on MY page not HIS and you know that I am a Christian.

Well it will help if you are going to church because, if she wants to go with you, then she can learn about God and having a relationship with Him in those ways. Also... there is no greater teacher than example. If your child sees you living for God then she will learn from that as well.

With or without a mixed faith marriage... seeing the love of God and the Word of God active in your life is the best teacher there is.

But... to boil it down to the brass tacks of it all... Were I to find myself in a similar situation I would do all I could to keep trouble to a minimum because that is simply wise and will be the most productive. But, having said that, my child would learn about God, His Word, His Ways and how to have a relationship with Him and nobody would stop or hinder that.

There is nothing more important in my mind. If someone didn't want me to feed my child until they learned what kind of food they liked... I'd find a way to feed that child.
The fact that I am extremely laid back (some may prefer luke warm ) may actually make this situation a little easier. I believe in God, and I believe Jesus is Him. I think Jesus is a great example to us, and how we should live our lives. However, I don't know where I stand on church, I have serious issues with the Bible (as a literal source or "word of God"), and I'm pretty liberal when it comes to the concept of salvation, and I don't think I believe in a literal hell.

I guess some of that is obvious. Which is why I'm not worried about my husbands spirituality or lack there of.
