Questions for Interfaith couples

The Cincinnati Enquirer profiled an interfaith couple (she's Lutheran, he's Jewish) who have been married 31 years. A sidebar to the article posts these questions for interfaith couples:

Experts say it's important for interfaith couples who are considering marriage to open up and talk about deeply personal issues. These questions, from the Dovetail Institute for Interfaith Family Resources, are designed to start such discussions.
  • What are your goals in life?
  • What values do you hold most dear?
  • What about your partner do you cherish, and why?
  • What is important about your religion?
  • Describe your image of God.
  • Do you and your family agree on your religious beliefs?
  • What do you know about your partner's religion? What do you disagree with or find unacceptable?
  • What role does prayer play in your life?
