Hey all I am 24 year old male from Louisiana and my g/f is a 36 yr old female from Las Vegas. We are both in love and I am moving to live with her and start a life with her in a month or two. I was raised Catholic and she was raised Baptist but also goes sometimes to a non-denominational church in her city. I talked to her today about marriage and she has been married twice before and doesn't want to get either of them annulled because she feels like in the eyes of God that it means you were never married. Which I can understand but if she doesn't get them annulled then we cannot get married in a Catholic church. My mother said she would be devistated if me or my sister didn't get married in a Catholic church because she said that "in the eyes of God you aren't really married". To me that is a bunch of malarchy. I love this woman and she loves me and there is of course going to have to be some work involved in this relationship. What do I do?? I'm so not ready to give up on her just because of our difference in faiths. She said she doesn't want to see my mother upset but I don't want to lose this woman because she is the one for me. Also she said she wants our kids to choose the religion if we do have any. I'm just at a loss of words right now and thoughts on what to do about this. I feel that love is the main thing that keeps people together and our faith is strong just with some small differences. We both believe in God, and that is what matters to me. Someone help please, I'm really confused and don't want to lose this lovely woman.
