Thoughts? Are you intermarried?
I used to be married, I am divorced now. We had no problems until the kids were born, and I wanted them raised Jewish and he wanted them raised Christain. He became very bitter and hateful. It ended very badly.Immigration, intermarriage and education making U.S. Jewry larger, more diverse

And what happened when your mom said, "These are my gods," and your dad said, "your mom's gods are false idols." ???My dad was a general Pentecostal white guy.
My mum is a Fijian born Indian who is Hindu. Most of their friends are coincidentally all “intermarried” as you put it.
I am so sorry for your experience.And what happened when your mom said, "These are my gods," and your dad said, "your mom's gods are false idols." ???
I guess it does.Does "intermarriage" apply to atheists?
That didn’t happen. Dad was chill and was mostly “culturally Christian.” He enjoyed learning about Mum’s culture and religious rituals. Encouraged me to explore religion, philosophy and find something that suited me.And what happened when your mom said, "These are my gods," and your dad said, "your mom's gods are false idols." ???

Interestingly all my parent’s close friends (the ones intermarried anyway) are all Church of God Christians. I remember my mother remarking with admiration how they would say Grace before every meal, even with us. She thought it was a wonderful religious ritual and started doing her own variation of it
In Europe and the US perhaps, but the trend seems to favour religion everywhere else:The fastest growing belief system is atheism. (with the possible exception of belief in Magic and super powers.)
The article raises some interesting points.

I think it depends a lot on the religiosity of the 2 individuals, or how adamant one or both are about being right. I've seen many, and some work, while others are disasters. I'd personally not recommend it simply because it dramatically increases the chances of failure.
The entire idea expands outside religion into politics, languages, rural/urban, and more. I can't see a strong Democrat and a strong Republican in the states these days getting along.
