I agree with you on many of your points... and yes I think most people who have a single-sex education have benefited from it and had a great education- I had some of my best times in a Catholic boys school and laterly in an all-boys grammar school in the UK. However I did also spend time in other schools -(British Embassy School et. al.) as we moved around different countries ect..

OdKahaneChai - Thank you for your concern, and it is much appreciated- The video was quite long and involved. However, I think we both got the message...this thing we have will not be viewed as Kosher no matter what we do. Interestingly, after she has talked with her parents they have now agreed that what has been said here is the truth and what they did not say earlier has been laid out here. -Funny old world...why didn't they say something before then?

-I'm now out on this subject guys, it has taught me a thing or two, but thank you anyway, all of you, for your advice. It has been much appreciated.

 I dont understand, so you are breaking up then? When you said "this thing we have will not be viewed as Kosher no matter what we do" - did that imply that you wanted to get a conscience approval, of what you want to do, or that you learned the answers and now are changing your plans?

dibblah:
As a final note we have been close for over a year now and both get on well with both sets of parents...There did not seem to be any objections, though I did feel a bit of an "outsider" at times..but not in an unfriendly way...

We got to talking (have discussed many times) about moving things forward in our relationship and naturally marriage, children were discussed. At first flush, it seemed that we were both keen on doing this. We then started to look at the nitty-gritty and it started to look like a move we would have to look more deeply into. As a JTF member already, and as a bit of a long shot, I threw the question out there for a response from respected members of the Jewish community; perhaps hoping to circumvent the need to talk/see a Rabbi or Priest.- I hope this clarifies.

Dibblah.

Not completly, are you still together, its a simple yes or no? Also did the lady watch the video I posted about assimilation?

MarZutra:
I think she will enjoy Rabbi Kahane's video: "Why Be Jewish?" http://www.kahane.org/video.htm  O0
Within he speaks about intermarriage and assimilation... :'(

dibblah:
Easy does it and one step at a time my friend... we still love each other although marriage is now looking unlikely... to quote the US saying it has become: "the elephant in the room?"

That is all I can tell you of the status quo right now. She did not watch all of the video..I will ask her to have patience with it when she is not so upset and view it from an unemotionally-charged perspective. I do not want her to rebel against this but if I, (of all people) push this, she will reject it!...

All I can do in clear concience is as I have done and in respect to my Judaic brothers. I have probably and conciously scuppered our chances of marriage. Niether of us would marry outside of a religous marriage and probably never outside of our faith. The one message you can probabaly thank yourselves for helping us with, was to get accross that message that the Jewish mother passes on the Jewish inheritance. This gave us both significant pause for thought.

Let us hope (and pray) that by not inter-marrying we are not giving the Muslims another rod to divide us with; Lord knows we have managed to do that amongst each other for a long time now without their help!

All Christians were Jews before we recognized Christ. Let us not forget the fundamentals of our religion.- The Torah. I'm a bit done with this now, but have tried to maintain dialogue despite my (our) personal grief on the subject.

Dibblah -out...
