A Nonjudgmental Guide to Interfaith Marriage

About the Book

Every day Americans of different faiths fall in love, decide to marry, and are suddenly faced with a bewildering array of pressures, choices and conflicts. Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben offers down-to-earth advice to help couples of all faiths find their own solutions to sensitive issues, from talking about religious differences to deciding how to raise the children.  Drawing upon 25 years of counseling experience, he shares the real life stories of couples who have met the challenges of interfaith relationships.

This unique, nonjudgmental guide will help you learn how to discuss religion, talk to parents, choose a ceremony that’s right for you, celebrate differences, create your own unique religious lifestyle, celebrate life as a “team marriage,” learn how to discuss sensitive issues in advance and discover the joy of creating a life filled with mutual fulfillment, understanding and love.
