Looking for advice from those who are in or were in (parents) Mixed religion marriages. My wife and I have been married for just over 10 years and are still seperate religions.

She is very into her faith and I am in mine. The intensity and love for our differnet faiths can oftentimes be frustrating because we are not sharing it with each other, mostly our faith communities. Any advice to keep the faith alive!

No, not if they’ve only been married 10 years. The Catholic has to promise to do everything in his/her power to have any children baptized and raised Catholic. The non-Catholic doesn’t have to agree to it, just has to be informed of the promise and its implications. That’s a difference between the 1917 Code of Canon Law and the 1983 Code.
