Our interfaith marriage has worked for fifteen years by keeping our spiritual lives mostly separate, but our teenage son is now asking hard questions about why we don't share this part of ourselves with each other and whether that means it's not really important. He wants to understand both of our traditions but we've never figured out how to bridge them ourselves, and now we're realizing our careful separation might have created confusion instead of respect.
More people experience this than they realize.
The careful boundaries that allow different faiths to coexist in marriage can become sources of bewilderment for the children who inherit multiple legacies of meaning.
