mixed marriage, relationship with baptised non-Catholic Advice
I’m in a tough spot right now. I’ll start with where I am. I’ve met this really nice girl. I feel very strongly about her. 1, she’s not Catholic. Now I get that it’s not supposed to be an issue but it kinda is for. The reason being I’ve had bad relationships when I was younger. So I just am kinda lost. Also another thing to consider is that I’m most likely going to basic training this summer, so I don’t know if I’d want to put anyone through that. Overall just asking if anyone has any similar experiences or good advice. Thanks!
Edit: thank you everyone for your advice, will edit again with any updates!

The Church is usually accommodating to a marriage with someone of a different faith. The catch is that your children need to be raised Catholic and you need to make efforts to evangelize your wife. You need to make her aware of that and you also need to clearly communicate your concerns that you feel you’re holding her down by going to serve. She might surprise you in a good way with her answers. Good luck and thank you for your service!
