Thread: Fathers' Rights in Child Custody and High Conflict Divorce

My wife is Catholic, I am Southern Baptist. We had to meet with a Priest before we would be allowed to be married in the Catholic Church.

We agreed that the kids would be brought up Catholic. I knew that I wouldn't have invested the necessary time to it. I'm not nearly the church goer my wife is. We have some religious differences, but we know exactly what they are and we can argue them without anyone getting upset. We agree to disagree.

I also agreed to children. We compromised on how long to wait, her defying the church by using birth control.

It all worked out, going on 36 years now.

True, but you're both Christians. Different flavor of Christianity of course, but the core and the holy writings are the same.
I meant along the lines of Muslim with Christian, Jew with Catholic, Mormon with Hindu, etc

Actually Bruno, here in the states it is not unusual to see Catholic & Jewish marriages as they both are very family oriented. The other examples have me agreeing with you.
