Well part of an interfaith marriage is accepting each others beliefs. She shouldnt force you or anything (which it sounds like she isnt) but if she asked, and you are willing to, then it should be fine to have the baby and vows blessed. Just as long as you dont mind...  |

well let me say this wouldn't it be better to do it and find out later that there is a God than to not do it and find out later there is a God?  |

If this will make your wife happy then why not?? Its part of being in a healthy happy marriage..sometimes we have to compromise for the good of the marriage and because we love our partner..I think there is nothing wrong with that at all.  |

things like this there are give and takes.. are you willing to allow for 1 but not the other??.. compromise.. there are perks to having your child baptised... your child could go to a religious school and get a better education then the local public school(something what can't be done if your child isn't baptised)  |

At least consider going along with your wife's wishes simply out of love for her. This seems to be something she really wants, it would make her happy and it would only be a slight inconvenience to you.  |

To start off, congratulations on your little girl. I'm not Catholic so I do not believe there is any necesity to baptize a sinless baby. Actualy it's imposible to baptize a baby in the sight of God, because baptism is for the forgivness of sins (Acts 2:38) and your baby will not commit any sins for years to come. So when your wife takes the baby to be sprinkled on or immersed in water by the Catholics that is all that is going to happen, she's going to get a little wet. But because your wife has been raised catholic she believes she is doing the right thing, and it would mean (I believe) a great deal to her for you to share that moment with her. When you married your wife you became "one" so make every wakeing moment a joyful one, for one day death will separate you, and you will miss her. Nikeinlogos |

Yeah like I said before I have no problem with any of this. I just thought that I would post it to see others opinions. But the reason for baptism is to wash away "original sin", which everybody is born with apparantly.  |

Just my views on this subject are this...what does it matter to you anyway if you believe or not, but if it means so much to the partnership, it's not worth the hassle is it?? I came across this on the random stories here...  |
