Scenario

When couples have different religious beliefs about raising children

My spouse is still devout and I've lost my faith completely and we're raising our kids in this tension where every Sunday becomes a negotiation and neither of us wants to compromise what we believe is right for them. We're both trying to be respectful but it's creating distance between us and I don't know how to bridge it without one of us betraying our convictions.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who once shared a faith foundation are now navigating fundamentally different worldviews while trying to maintain their partnership and parent together.
