I'm not so sure that this is going to be an easy answer. By birth I am a Hindu. I like you do not really like organized religions because they have come to cause much violence in the world in the name of faith. To me, religion is a way to teach people "right" from "wrong", to believe in goodness and oneself. I'm not sure that I'm describing what I believe accurately .. So there is gonna be lots of differences and issues that would come up.

Also, should our children ultimately choose a differing faith as they became adults, we would always support them in it.

First of all, he is a converted Christian .. from Islam. So I'm not sure how that would changes things too. He had told me earlier on that he could never see himself even stepping inside a temple, even if I think its fine. And that he would definitely like to push his kids towards the "right" direction in terms of religion. So I'm not sure how willing to comprimise he will be but I guess only time will tell ..
I'm hoping that these years apart will bring out what is really there as issues and commitment. Thanks for your advice Clodfobble!
