Tuesday's QOTD

What Religion will you raise your child?
Do you and DH share the same religion?
How will you explain religion and/ or two religions to child?

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I have similar religions-we're both Christian, but truth is he really isn't religious... I'm Greek orthodox and he is Protestant. If we are ever blessed with a child he or she will be orthodox. This is something that is very important to me because I am religious and something that we discussed before we even got engaged. Of course, it makes no difference to him because he's not really religious so it works out well!

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I are both Catholic so that was easy We now take our 15 month old to church every Sunday since about 14 months of age. I am hoping that he will want to be involved the older he gets. So if and when we conceive again we will do the same for the new baby.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

I am Catholic DH is Greek Orthodox. He is not religious at all. I was fine with being involved with the Orthodox church as his family is very involved, but he is not interested so we were married in the Catholic church and will raise DC in the Catholic church.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I are both Jewish, our kids will be raised Jewish. This is one thing that is pretty easy for us.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

were both roman catholic

im not practicing but dh is

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I are both Catholic although not very religious people at all. However, we will raise our DD and future children Catholic as well, they will receive the sacraments and go to religion class, and then down the road when they are older they can make the choice as to what they wish to practice. If it's Catholicism then great and if it's something else that is fine too! I feel like it's our job to at least give our children some direction and some religion to believe in even if they make a different choice later in life.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I are both non-practicing Catholics. Our furture LO's will be raised with non-denominational religious and spiritual guidence and once they are older they can decide which religion, if any, they want to follow.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

Dh and I are have different religions. I am Episcopalin and DH is Jewish. While neither of us are practicing we both have strong faith. We will raise a LO with knowledge of both religions. We have said that if we decided to introduce a formal religion instruction it will mostly like be Jewish. DH's religion played a much bigger part of his growing up then mine did.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

we are both catholic so this was easy for us.

We are both non-practicing though. We go to church on holiday's and got married in a chrurch. DH's father is a deacon. So our kids will follow suit with us.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

I am Roman Catholic. DH's mother is Jewish and his dad is Catholic. He wasn't really brought up in any religion. We will raise our children Catholic but I would still like to teach them about the Jewish religion and celebrate those holidays (DH always celebrated both).

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

I was raised Christian, DH was raised Jewish. Though we both see the cultural impact, we both identify as Agnostic. We're not going to become religious, even if we have a child; however, we will educate LOs about respecting and learning different beliefs with an open heart .

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I are both devout Catholics and will raise our children that way. We go to mass every Sunday and plan to bring LO with us from the very start

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I were brought up in different christian religions. About 2 years before we got married we decided we wanted to go to church together but neither of us liked how we were brought up. So, we decided to go to the Methodist church around the corner from where I grew up and we felt comfortable and at home there. We plan to raise our children in the Methodist church as it has been a great source of inspiration and strength for us both. But, as others have said we will guide guide them and raise them in our faith but if they choose a different path that is fine too! I think it is def. important to be open minded to all faith possibilties.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

DH and I are both practicing Catholics. We will definitely bring LO to church and when the time comes decide on schooling (we both went to Catholic school K - college).

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

Dh & I are both Catholic (altough I practiced Wicca for a while in my younger years). DH grew up as a Catholic school boy and now doesn't want to set foot near a church unless necessary. I'm opposite...i had to get my sacraments before marriage because my parents didn't really practice or teach me religion...but now I try to go to church whenever i can.

I want to teach Catholicism at a young age for the morals if nothing else...but when they are old enough to understand I would like to touch base on all religions and explain to them why people believe different things and teach them whats beautiful that they can utilize in their own life from every religion.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

we will raise our kids greek orthodox...i am catholic and DH is GO.

I have to make it work..eventually i will change just to understand it for the fake the sake of my child.

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

I am a non-practicing Catholic, and DH is a very religious, ethnic Christian which I don't want to say which denomination because then I basically have outed myself and I still want to stay kind of on the down low over here.

We will be raising the kids in his religion. It's much more important to him. I like his religion better than mine anyways, barring the fact that I believe he'd get excommunicated technically if we don't raise the kids that since we were married in his church, and that's pretty much the reason why they allow non (religion) to marry in to the church, with the understanding that they'll produce little members in the future!

Re: Tuesday's QOTD

I am jewish, DH is christian, I am more reigious than he is, but we are going to raise LO to learn about both religions, after the age of Bar/Bat mitzvah, and after confirmation, LO can choose what to do- our children will hate us when it comes to religion hahahah going to both sunday school and hebrew school- oh wel :)

I have a family friend who has 3 daughters being raised exactly as we plan to, and it seems to be working well for them! so i have faith :)
