I am a Catholic. Not only by birth but also by personal choice. I don't attend Sunday masses regularly( by choice) but I attend the blessed sacrament almost everyday. I am a staunch paduan( st. Anthony, Catholics will understand better). I also attend the divine mercy prayers.
The problem is i am planning to marry a non-catholic soon,
my family don't mind. I love my fiance and would like to spend my life with him.
My problem is I don't know how to cope with his church. Catholic church is the only church in which I find peace. I thought I could work it out since I don't take Sunday masses seriously; go to his Church with him on Sunday then go to weekday activities in my church but now I don't know.
On mother Mary,s birthday, I was going through the comments on that post and I couldn't hold my tears. , I burst into tears.
How will I cope, I can't bear the thought of not teaching my kids how to recite their rosary, consecrating my family to the Anthonian devotion. The trips to the monastery ( gives me so much peace), how can i stop that? Will this affect my marriage?
Is there bv that have been through this ( catholic marrying non-catholic), please how did you cope? I can't ask fiancé to convert. We are igbos(Anambra); that would incur the wrath of his family.
PS. I never knew fiancé was non catholic when we met, he never told me until it was too late. He also attended a Catholic school so he knew all the prayers and even prayed them with me so I just assumed he was.
