I highly doubt you will be told you cannot marry. My husband and I took premarital classes at my church. I really thought they were worthwhile. Lots of topics were discussed that opened the door for us to talk about them heart to heart. We were married at my church and attend there and my husband is Catholic so we also attend mass at his church. Later he decided we needed to get our marriage convalidated, so we remarried in the Catholic church. I'm telling you all this because I have had to sit in several meetings with people in the Catholic church and I was also nervous. I can tell you it really was not all that bad. All of the questions were in order to find out where each of us stand on certain things, not judgmental at all. If you want to have a Rabbi at your ceremony I suggest you do that. You might consider returning to your faith and it is better to take care of it now rather than doing it twice like we did.

Congratulations on your engagement.

I'm Catholic, my late wife Protestant. The priest I chose to marry us was old school and required us to sit thru Pre-Cana conferences and our "classmates" were primarily teenagers and early 20s kids. It was an unnecessary hassle for me, given 12 years of formal Catholic education, and my fiancé was bored to tears, four consecutive Sunday nights in total to complete the "classes.". He also required us to take a vow that any kids would be raised Catholic.

Now having said that, there may have been priests who were more liberal and who would have married us without those requirements.

If your husband is a Protestant rather than Catholic, I suspect that his faith may be more liberal than mine. I guess that it depends on the particular sect. E.g., a fundamental sect may actually be stricter.

Do you love this man and want to marry him? I am guessing your answer is yes so here is my take. I was raised Catholic and my now Ex wife was Methodist. She was never confronted or asked anything in the marital classes we were forced to take to have a Catholic wedding. The entire focus of this counseling is to make you both think about how you will handle things in life together and especially the tuff things your probably not thinking about.

My personal belief is this. God dose not care what religion you practice as long as you worship him above all. Marriage is a unit under God so therefor NO Religion has any right to tell people they are worthy or not. You follow your heart and as long as you and your husband to be are on the same page. No one else opinion matters. I don't feel they persecute you for anything as that is against Gods teachings.

Best of luck.

Jesus was Jewish so that should cover both sides...... I can't imagine that this would hurt you getting married.... I went to premarital counseling and my husband at the time never went to any church.... Big hug.....xo

Thank you all, I really appreciate all the advice. This really helped me.

If your man chooses not to marry you because of your spiritual needs, then he is not the right person for you.
My best friend is JW and her husband is Catholic. It created a lot friction between the families, but they found a way to be accepting of each other because they made a commitment to make it work.
I think you should go for it and be open and honest with him.
As a Jewish woman, it would be a great deal of respect to acknowledge everything your ancestors have fought for by asserting your beliefs and carrying on a tradition into your own family.

Be happy, be free. Hugs
