my dear you can not mix everything to collect nothing if you really like it apart, and religion is not important, what matters is that they are honest and good to collect. not too concerned about their children because they can choose what they want,

I know several couples in the works. But it is certainly a challenge, and they both feel strongly about their respective faiths will be more of a challenge. Hopefully he realizes (1) to be married in a Catholic church, and (2) that will be required to give guarantees that will make every effort to raise the children in the Catholic faith.

As her boyfriend Catholic is obliged to raise the children in the Catholic faith. Marriage can work out. If both of you are validly baptized that's fine. If you have children, would be suitable for children's father to raise spiritually. No offense, but that's the way it always has been.

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has justice with injustice? And what communion has light with darkness? "2 Corinthians 6:14.
So I have to say no it will not work. You have amazing fights about religion and a church or religion should be, or one of you will change (their) religion.

My aunt is Catholic, Protestant, and her husband have been happily married for over 25 years. So yes, an inter-religious marriage can work.

I do not know if this will work for both of you, but my grandparents are faced with this situation many years ago. His parents were the ones who cause the most difficulty - each set of grandparents who insisted that any grandchildren born to them must be raised in their grandparents' belief systems (that is a Catholic and one Church of Christ). What I did was 1) say the grandparents Thay go ahead with the marriage because they loved each other, 2) whether the grandparents back and not let them make their own decisions, they move away and 3) who decided to go a "religious" and choose a church that had some elements that could be agreed and that they could raise their children in. In fact, I had to move away from their families (they were denied), they did marry and had six children of their own , their love and resolve maintained for almost 60 years together, and decided to go to the Lutheran church. I do not know if this type of solution would be acceptable to you, but that's what happened to them. It is a difficult choice and I am sure they lost their families, but their love overcame intolerance shown towards them.
