Even if you do not presently have children, it is recommended
that you and your partner begin to explore how you plan to raise
your children, particularly with regards to their religious upbringing.
It is important to begin that dialogue now so that you and your
partner can fully explore several different aspects of the issue.
To begin that process, you and your partner are encouraged to answer
the following questions and share your answers with one another.
Don't forget to use your communication or problem-solving skills
as necessary when discussing the topics.
1. What are the most important beliefs you want passed on to your
child or children?
2. At this point in time, what do you believe is the best approach
or plan for you and your partner regarding the religious upbringing
of your child or children?
3. What factors are most important in leading you to recommend
this plan?
4. What factors might lead you to change your mind?
5. Who do you think will have the
greatest difficulty with this plan if you and your partner decide
to adopt it?
