Hey Ray...

Being in a relationship with someone who does not share your faith, or who has none... is very hard IMO. Usually the religious one gets dragged down... it hampers the realtionship in too many ways... Will you always go alone to (church?) I assume... What faith will your children have, and what example of that faith will he set for them?

Your circle of friends might be more religious than his and mutual friends will be hard to come by... It is two different lives and there is so much tension in the little things... do we pray at dinner or not? Do we baptize the kids? It will be a part of your life that you will have to live in islolation from him...

I don't want to be a doom prophet or anything, but these are things you have to consider... And never think you can marry someone with the intention of converting them later... If you choose to marry him you must be able to live with the fact that he might never take on your religion...

But, if you truly love him, and you want to make it work, you still can, just know it will not always be easy... We are capable of a lot of things... and it is possible in the end, just hard work!

Good luck
