I'm in Love with a Theist

If she prefers her fairy tales to you then there is not much there to begin with.

Well that's the thing. I've asked her and she says I come before God for her.

Therein lies a problem I foresee in the future. It's something we are both aware of. I have a feeling it won't be as terrible as I'm envisioning it, though. She knows where I stand as far as how I want to raise my kids and hopefully with enough discussion on it we will come to an understanding. Big Grin

And that's all she wrote.

That's actually quite similar to how it goes with us as well! How are things with her family? Are they also Christian? Her family is more of what I am really concerned about, I suppose.
