Can inter faith relationships work and how are children raised?

[mids2019]

We have many successful inter racial relationships in 2026 Britain but is it more difficult to have inter forth relationships and are there significant barriers of both partners have del faith convictions and how do you decide which faith of any to bring up your chikdren?

I think this may be pertinent to Judaism and Islam where from my discussions with women of these faiths the idea of marrying a non Muslim or non Jew does not really cross their mind.

Do religious parents seek out maybe schools where they minimise the chances of children engaging in relationships with students not of their faith? (The last question arose out of experienced at schools where there were complaints about non Muslim boys asking Mulsim girls for dates)

Not got much to say on this topic. One of aunts her husband was a Muslim and she raised her children up as Christians. They met partners and two of her sons have converted to Islam from Christianity to please their partners.It has caused the mother concern, but she cannot do anything about it. In this case two Christian men gave up their faith and went back what their father originally was a Muslim for family harmony.
My mother's mum was a Christian and her father was a Muslim by birth and he gave up his Muslim faith and converted to Christianity and they raised children.

It's an interesting question. I'm an atheist, my late husband was a non churchgoing Christian. We did in fact discuss this before having children because it's important and we had the DC baptised because it would have broken our ILs' hearts if we hadn't. But we both agreed that faith has no value if a person is raised into it without other paths being available - it's something everyone has to find for themselves, and so we offered the DC opportunities but didn't steer them one way or another. They're 23 and 25 now and are both atheist, but nobody's journey is complete until they die, so who knows?

My husband was raised sort of catholics and I was raised observant (but not orthodox) Jewish. We are raising our children in liberal Judaism… with a bonus sharing of some of daddy’s favourite Christmas and Easter traditions. It works fine for us as he’s not super religious, I’m quite flexible and we are immigrants so no grandparents around to find it super annoying. We’ve had some glitches (Santa was very triggering for his parents) and had to work through things as they come up but we figured it out and respect each other enough to work together on it
