Being of different faiths can definetly be difficult but not impossible. The most important thing is to talk about your fears and thoughtsd to your partner. Communication is the key to the survival of your relationship. If the parents are already rejecting you then they might continue to rejet you even though you marry. This is something really important to adress because it will put a lot of pressure on your partner and you. both of you have to be realistic about the feelings of frustration and grief that this type of rejection can cause. You should talk about this with your partner and give yourselves some more time before doing the big jump. many people survive interfaith relationships even when their family are against it, sometimes the family comes around after a few years, sometimes never. Like said I you need to be open and honest about this even if it’s scary because it is both your happiness and your daughters happiness at stake.

Answer #3

My girlfriend is a serious, practicing Catholic. I was an atheist. I wanted to feel closer and attended the Mass she goes to twice a week. I enjoyed the fellowship and was fascinated by the rituals but couldn’t get past the ideas: God, etc. To understand things I asked her many questions and purchased books explaining Catholic teachings. But it was still a bit foreign to me, even if she enjoyed that I would accompany her, in prayer too (at her urging). It wasn’t until I went to a hypnotist that my attitudes and openness changed. Through a combination of Mass attendance, regular (and expensive) hypnosis, and lots of prayers with my beloved, that I started seeing things her way. After attending RCIA classes for a little over a year I converted and now my beliefs are as strong as my, now, wife’s. Hypnosis was a great help in breaking down my “logical” barriers and I find my weekly Bible studies and daily prayers helped reinforce things to the point that we are now completely of one mind, with Jesus. I now wouldn’t have it any other way.
