The man i am going to marry one day is roman catholic and im baptist. I am stressing about what are we going to do when we get married. I dont know if i have to become catholic or not. I have heard from people that are in my shoes dont have to become catholic when they get married. The reason this is such a issue is my parents were in the same boat. My dad was catholic and my mother was not. She would not become catholic and their marriage ended after 11 years for many reasons but one was relgion. I dont want to end up like my parents. I dont want to let anyone down but i dont know what to do about this topic.
First, you do not have to become Catholic. I do suggest that you and he discuss the topic. When you have children it is sure to come up. What church will you go to as a family? What religion will the children be raised? The good news is that you are both Christians and as long as you are tolerant of each other's denomination things can work very well. Focus on the similarities. The big one is that you both believe that Jesus Christ is your savior. You might even find a church that you both feel comfortable in. You might alternate churches. The styles are different but they both worship God. Deacon Bob Tousey
