My son, has a lady friend, and there is smoke and smouldering embers between them. Everyone who looks at the two together can see the obvious. She is devout in her faith (as is her family), and my son has rather strong roots in his (if one judges him by his father) LOL
They are young, and in no rush to persue marriage (yet), however, I am looking for input from the Hindu side of the house on this "delicate" matter. Is this something that can work? Aside from her beliefs she is of Indian heritage (I believe first or second generation American), wherein he is of Irish heritage, and catholic.
We have taught my son to be very open minded about the world's beliefs, but I also believe that as good parents, we must present them (our collective children) with the advatages and potential disadvantages of such a union.
There are many questions that must needs be discussed and answered, such as dual faith home, child raising, even matters of cuisine, and extended family expectations...(very important I think for all concerned).
I would be most grateful for any and all insight into the Hindu thoughts of such a union.
