A longtime family friend posed this question during discussion and I didn’t have a good answer for her. I place this question in Singles & Dating knowing full well that there are many Internet savvy people of all ages.

With online dating, Speed dating, dating coaches, life coaches – there is still interpersonal chemistry involved. Unfortunately, once people cohabitate and marry – problems and incompatibilities surface in the marriage which could have been detected at earlier levels

This will be long… but PLEASE read all and help.. thank you!!

My boyfriend and I have been together for quite awhile now, and have started talking about the future and marriage… The topic of children came up, and it’s the first big problem we’ve run into so far..

I am quite religious–had always pictured myself marrying a Jewish man, just so happens that I fell in love with a Christian, which isn’t a big deal until it comes to children. It’s not that I have anything against Christianity, but my religion AND culture is Extremely important to me. My bf never goes to church, doesn’t pray, and doesn’t really lead a ‘Christian lifestyle’. He never brings up his religion (in fact when we first started dating, he had to ask his mother what sect of Christianity he was…. and I had to tell him the meaning behind Easter…). But now that our potential future children come into play, he all of a sudden wants them to be Christian….

Now, I can understand him wanting our children to be this religion if he was truly Christian, but I feel that just saying you are a certain religion, doesn’t make you a true member of said religion.. It is about the understanding and practicing of such that confirms you as a member or not (within any faith of course).

I feel that if I were to have Christian children.. Well, I would be sacrificing so much. Also, I know he would not go to church, so they would be rather hypocritical like him, and if they are not going to be religious, well I would hope that at least they chose for themselves to not be religious.

Does that make any sense? I know that this is a little early to be thinking about this, but I don’t want to be married and then realize this issue.

I really love him, but I don’t even know how to approach him on this topic, and I don’t want it to be the end of us.. Any ideas on how to talk to him about this? and when should we talk about this? Anyone else out there in this situation..? :/
Thanks so much…
I understand what most of you have said… and I know what G-d says about interfaith marriage, but at this point, this is the situation I’m at, and I need help talking to him about what we would raise our children. I will decide whether or not to end the relationship based on our decision, AFTER I’ve spoken to him in the most positive, efficient and constructive manner possible. I love G-d, and I love my boyfriend, and I love myself, and I know that G-d will continue to love me no matter who I marry.

So here is a little background… I met this guy in December and we’re both in our 30’s. I’ve been divorced for 3 years and he just got out of a 10 year marriage 7 months prior. He’s still a bit bitter about women after his divorce and decided to slowly do the online dating thing. I was his first girl he met online and he kind of was skeptical about meeting people online. So we ended up going on a date in December and we kind of but not really showed interest in one another. New years rolls around and he’s home with his 3 girls and i was at home with my 3 girls so we ended up hanging out again as our second date with all 6 girls. So we kind of hit it off on new years and soon became friends with benefits. I really wanted to date him but he wasn’t looking for anything serious. So during the past couple of months, we were mostly friends with benefits but we have really good sexual chemistry. So during this time, he’s pushing me away from dating and only wants to be friends and said it was okay to date other guys since he felt like he was holding me back from finding love. So, i dated other guys (no sex with my dates) and then I go on a date and find a guy who I really like. I started showing this new guy interest and my FBW guy starts getting jealous. So I’m really torn between these two guys… finding love or FWB… I ended up finding out that my FWB started to develop feelings for me. We started to get closer but he keeps telling me no relationship, no dating each other. So one night I invite a date over to my house for dinner and told my FWB I was going over to my sisters to her little get together. Well, my FWB unexpectedly shows up at my house, finds out I’m not really at my sisters and is really pissed off because I lied to him. I was always completely open to him and told him when I had dates and didnt want to rub it in his face that I was on a date knowing that he had feelings for me…. So… now my FWB is majorly pissed off and mad because I lied to him and he caught me at home with my date (and no, we didnt have sex nor have a desire to have sex). Am I at fault for what happened? I apologized to my FWB about what happened and he’s very hurt about everything. I’m torn because I want to someday find love by my FWB wants me to date but doesnt want me to date…. What would you do?

As a child I was well cared for
The necessities provided
Sometimes a few extras too
But I had hopes and dreams
Wishes and lists
And my granny used to tell me
"Good things come to those who wait"

As a teen my life was harder
I worked to get by
Helped my mom and my sister too
No prom, No grad night
No dates, no fun
But I remembered what my granny knew
"God things come to those who wait"

As an adult I made choices to rush results
I wanted my life to be different fast
I worked and I played
Dreaming of the day
When my efforts would be rewarded
Some times were good
Others were bad
But I never gave up
Remembering what I believed true
"God things come to those who wait"

I had a daughter when I was single
And married another in haste
A man I knew was not "The One"
His pattern was simple
Drink, ignore and drink some more
With a few drugs spread here and there
I left that marriage
But I remembered my Granny saying
"Good things come to those who wait"

I am on my own now
Making strides to improve
I don’t ask for any help
Just someone to hold me
And dry an occasional tear
Lately it seems
I forget to remember
On more days than not
That my Granny was right
"Good things come to those who wait"

From now on I will remember
What my Granny always said
I will wait for blessings meant for me
Time is not a factor
Because I realized my past is just that
Today I remembered what I’ve known all along
"God things come to those who wait"
And My best, is yet to come!
