Interfaith Marriage after Fifty Years: How the World Has—and Hasn't—Changed  Based on nearly 50 years' experience in an interfaith marriage and on a lifetime of writing and speaking on the subject and consulting with interfaith couples around the country, Mary Heléne Rosenbaum discusses the changes and challenges dual-faith couples encounter. Few Jewish families these days go into mourning over a child who marries out; few Christian families still think non-Christians are damned. Nevertheless, cultural differences, sociological strains, and the weight of history and theology still present questions for such couples and their families. This talk will present some considerations in discussing intermarriage issues and suggest some strategies for interfaith couples and their extended families. Althouse 106
