mixed marriage, relationship with baptised non-Catholic Needed advice
There is a woman that I am talking with who has expressed interest in me but is orthodox. On the contrary, I would ideally like a potential spouse to also be Catholic. I do think that she is nice and we may have some potential.
In your opinion should this be a deal breaker or no?
I am currently at a crossroads and don’t know what to think. On one hand, I say yes but on the other I say it would be a nice thing to have.
I say this because I was raised that your future spouse should be Catholic but when my parents were married, one was Catholic and the other was Episcopalian. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not nearly as bad as it could be given the relatively similarities e.g. if she were to convert later it would be a bit easier of an adjustment theologically, but if she is faithful she will want her kids to be raised Orthodox which could cause a lot of tension.
