ZoeAnne05 Hmmm...my question would be, would HE give up his religion for me instead, haha? I think being in an interfaith relationship can only work if both partners respect each other's beliefs and not push one on the other.

ZoeAnne05 It's to each his/her own, I guess. Seriously, I would love, love, love to be in your shoes. Believe me, a lot of working mothers, if given the chance, would rather stay at home with the baby than spend time in an office. Most of those who don't understand are...

ZoeAnne05 Some point in my life I have dreamt of becoming one, hehe. I've always liked the couple tandem of Remington Steele and Bruce & Cybill (not sure if I spelled her name right) of Moonlighting. Do they count as detective series?

Required Reading for Life

MrCoolantSpray @MrCoolantSpray (1005) • United States 22 Feb 07
