Again, this may include conversion, how to raise children, having a certain kind of ceremony, etc. Finally, interfaith couples can be more successful by taking proactive steps to curb major arguments about faith by beginning couples' therapy before problems even start. Find a therapist who specializes in your concerns as a couple, and talk out problems as they arise. A third party might be the voice of reason who can help make the relationship work.
