Default Difference in Religions?

So the love of my life is about to walk away from our relationship because she wants her children to be Christian (I'm Baha'i).

To me, I don't care. I still don't see the point in HAVING to believe in a point of doctrine. She believe in almost exactly the same morals as I do, with the exception of drinking. But she doesn't drink heavily.

I also recently questioned the faith heavily. I no longer am, and I understand, but I had felt as though I was deprived of my search to Baha'u'allah, because I was born a Baha'i. This way, I would let them find their own way.

But in the end, So long as they are good people, why does it matter?

If you mean she has children by a previous marriage and wants them remain Christian there's no problem with that.. If you mean she wants the children of your relationship with her to be raised as Christians ... yep, you'd be giving up something I think.

But if you explained to her that you agreed the children should be exposed to Christianity and the Faith and be allowed to choose later in life I think that would cool..

Ultimately it's your responsibility and of course whatever you and prospective spouse decide to do.

Before you have a Baha'i marriage of course you should consult with the Assembly and you could discuss the issue of the children and ask for guidance...
