Hi,
I’m in a serious relationship with an agnostic woman of muslim background. We’re very much in love and we’re at a point of discussing marriage and children. She has no problem of the children being baptized and brought up as christians but here’s the turn… In our future house she’s against hanging a cross on the wall, because it doesn’t represent her faith, and doesn’t want the people visiting to get the wrong idea… And as a sign of respect to her she wants me to respect this objection of hers. She’s even against the children wearing a cross around their necks for no plausible reason till now…

I on the other hand am pretty attached to my faith and want the opposite…

The first thing that came into my mind to reply was this phrase from the bible: “For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.”

But I refrained, obviously it doesn’t apply to her because she doesn’t believe in the words of the bible… So I’m stuck finding a good argument about why she should accept a cross hanged on the wall representing my faith in Jesus Christ

Would appreciate a help on this

Peace of Christ be with you all
 
You need to re-evaluate your relationship.
  • Most importantly, can this in time be a threat to your already established relationship with Jesus?
  • Can she, in time, be converted?
  • In time will this cause a divorce?
  • What’s more important? Soul or Earthly Possesions.
  • Will this be a catholic wedding?
Maybe you need to think these things over before discussing marriage. Maybe try taking her to church with you on a regular basis before marriage.

Pray about this and meditate on it. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. :gopray2:
