Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Educate yourself. Learning about the Catholic religion, its basis and what your two religions have in common is key. The more you learn about the belief, the more you’ll learn about your spouse and where they come from. Ask them questions, talk to their priest and read up.
Step2
Practice with your spouse. While you may not understand every practice, do what you can and do what you feel comfortable with. During Lent, Fridays may be days where no meat is eaten. Give up meat on Fridays with your spouse. Also during Lent, something personal is given up (e.g. chocolate, a favorite activity). Practicing this personal sacrifice with your spouse will mean a lot to them.
Step3
Attend Mass. Going to church with them on Ash Wednesday and other days during Lent that they feel important will help you respect their beliefs and also understand who they are. It will also let them know you care about them on a new level. You may not be able to go to every Mass they do but a few is a good start.
Step4
Communicate Easter practices. Let your spouse know about how you recognize Easter in your religion. Exchanging of ideas and information is ultimately sharing of one another. Keep it up and keep it open. Remember, this is not a contest of whose religion is better. It is a journey of exploring deep and important sides of each other.
Step5
Respect beliefs. Easter is an important time to Catholics and possibly to you as well. If it’s not an important time in your religion, make sure you both respect your respective beliefs. Ways of worship and faith are all facets of the person you love. You may not understand all of their religion, but trying to grasp what you can will go a long way for your spouse.
