What's in the NIMMA booklet on Mixed Marriage in Ireland? |
|
 |
This companion starts with an outline of the historical background to mixed marriage. This sets the scene for an exploration of the issues arising for those thinking about committing to a mixed marriage.This includes insight into the teachings of the main churches in Ireland about marriage. This chapter ends with a consideration of the attitudes of parents and relatives. The next chapter gives useful information on permission to marry and the promise as well as on the where and how of getting married. The companion also covers important issues for when you are married, including going to church and the views of churches on eucharistic sharing. |
The companion also provides helpful information on bringing up children within a mixed marriage, covering the first religous event of baptism, children at church and schooling.
Mixed marriages are normal and religous diferences do not dominate married life. Indeed couples have found the mix a help rather than a hindrance to their religous development and find that sharing in the rich spiritual tradition of two churches greatly enhance their lives and the lives of their children.
For couples considering or about to embark on a mixed marriage, you will find "Mixed Marriage in Ireland" informs you of church guidelines and outlines practical issues to be discussed jointly with priests and ministers of both denominations. A range of useful addresses is also provided.
