Can interfaith marriage work?
The answer is definitely yes. But it’s not always easy. There will be complications–holidays, questions of how to raise the children, whether to go to church or synagogue–that you might not have in a couple with two Jewish partners. Nearly half of all new marriages involving Jews are intermarriages. We’ve published literally hundreds of stories from people who have successful interfaith marriages. Interfaith marriages, like all marriages, require constant negotiation and communication. You may have to compromise in some ways, perhaps by spending Christmas with your partner’s family, or combining Jewish and non-Jewish elements into your wedding.
