Im 21 years old, and i have been dating my jewish boyfriend for four years. I am about to graduate from college, and need to know where things are going with us. We are so in love, but the big problem is religion. we both come from religious families, my sister is a minster, and he went to a privtie jewish school. Needless to say, our faiths are priority to us. Though I would give up having my sister marry us because of religion, i can not give up my protestant faith with children. Whenver the subject comes up my boyfriend tells me his children will be jewish. He thinks that because I am a christian and believe in jewish history I should just be jewish and celebrate jewish hoildays. this is impossible for me. We come from an extreamly jewish city, and most of our friends growing up were raised in jewish and christian households, and then were able to chose what was right for them. This is what i think would be wonderful since i do not think you should be a religion because your parents were, it should be a soul searching process.
The question is, do you think it is wrong to do that to children (will they be confused) , and when i move away next fall for law school, what should i accept from my boyfriend... should i look for a big commitment, or leave things as they are. I just don't want to spend the next three years of my life ignorning other people i could be dating if my boyfriend won't even comprimise with me in the end. I love him more then anything else, but I have to have God be number one, so what do i choose??[/b]
