How the children will be raised, how the finances will be handled and what you both expect from a marriage are areas that should be talked about prior to the wedding day. An interfaith wedding rabbi can help join your two individual persons with your different faiths. Talking about the differences between you as well as the similarities are ways that counseling can help prepare for the future. For interfaith relationship help and counseling, you have come to the right place. Simply contact Rabbi Allen for help with intercultural romantic relationships.

One way to include both faiths in interfaith weddings is to begin things with an opening invitation to prayer and meditation. A non denominational invocation of this sort will encompass all of the faiths represented at the ceremony, not just faith of the bride or groom. In some cases, you will be joining cultures in addition to faith and this type of invitation can also help to ease the different aspects of the cultures represented at the ceremony. Jewish-Christian intermarriage is becoming common but both faiths should be represented equally at events such as weddings.

If conversion to a different faith is not for you, but you cannot envision your life living apart from your boyfriend or girlfriend, an interfaith wedding rabbi can help you make some tough decisions. Without conversion, are you willing to accept the other person's faith, to support that faith and come to a compromise as to how children will be raised in the household? If you answered yes to these questions, you are on your way to determine that an inter-faith marriage is the right decision for your. Rabbi Allen offers assistance in planning an inter-faith wedding as well as interfaith relationship help before the big day.

While planning the wedding, you will want to ensure that everyone present is comfortable with the proceedings. This is where a non denominational invocation is key. No matter what faith members of the bridal party, guests or family members are, a non-denominational opening will hopefully encompass their spirituality. Other traditions from different faiths can also be included in the ceremony so that the Jewish-Christian intermarriage ceremony is touching, spiritual and personal for everyone involved.
