Jesse,
You should be having discussions with your girlfriend about marriage and
how you envision raising a family.
- What else is the point of dating if
not to find a life mate?
You will need to be articulate and well informed with matters concerning
your faith that she questions, and above all, be clear on what you want for
you and your children's future.
It is not selfish to consider the long
view and ask someone whether they are willing to share in it.
You are both
free now to choose. The further you go along without addressing these
matters, the more difficult it will become and your freedom will seem compromised
by emotional attachment.
Consider some of the Scott Hahn books. He and his wife were both formerly
Presbyterians, and he converted to Roman Catholicism before she did.
I would especially recommend, Rome
Sweet Home. Read it and share it with
her.
I'm glad you are looking at this now. God is undoubtedly already at work
in you.
I am a Music Director at a parish in the Boston area and need a violinist
for a Christmas concert.
Peace,
Bob Kirby
