Dear Queenie,
I was not raised in a religious home but since the COVID-19 pandemic I have become more interested in religion. I have studied it and consulted with a pastor and when I get married and have children I want to raise them in a religious home.
However, when I try to talk to my fiancé about all this he just nods and agrees with whatever I say and changes the subject.
Queenie, how can I be sure he will help me raise our children in a religious home?—Recent convert
Dear Convert,
Your fiancé is behaving as though he thinks you are just going through a phase. If he had any real interest in your religion he would try to learn more about it. He may allow you to raise your children to be as religious as you are, but he is not likely to help.
The only way you can be sure of having a sufficiently religious home in which to raise your children is to marry a man who feels the same way about it as you do.
