Raising a Child in a Mixed-Faith Marriage
Most of you know that I am unexpectedly expecting my first child (a little girl!) due in June. Most of you are also aware that my husband is an Atheist.
It never bothered me that he was an Atheist. When we were dating, we were both comfortable in our personal beliefs with no desire to influence the other.
I confess that I may have potentially been concerned about the difficulties differing beliefs could incur, had I believed that we would ever have children together or that it was even a remote possibility, I was supposedly barren!
My husband and I have had several discussions about ways that we could respectfully represent both of our beliefs, in such a way that when she is older she will be able to make her own choice.
However, where we struggle is in those formative years how to do we address her questions, or the fact that depending on who she asks she will get far different answers.
Any input?
