I won't give up and say that God can't work us through this, and I doubt it's as difficult as a Jewish/Christian mix (is that you?). But then I didn't understand the forces we would be up against when we first got married.

So true. I have a different situation, I think. My husband was baptized a Lutheran but is now an agnostic. He is pretty hostile to the Catholic faith but not around the kids. We do not fight over religion at all but I do the religious training and take them to church. I have to give him credit for being there at any serious religious ceremony like baptisms, communion, first penance. Not sure how this is all going to work out for the kids when they are older, but I try each day to integrate God in my kids' lives. I guess we all do our best and let God figure it out!

Yep, that's us, although (my poor wife!) I was Catholic when we married. Our children will be raised Catholic, because that is what we agreed upon before we were married. My wife is hardly an orthodox Catholic either, but unlike her sister has not chosen to leave the church, so really they are being raised more as 'nondenominational' Christians within the Catholic Church. She likes the priest, the parish and the school. I take care of the Hebrew scriptures, and my wife covers the Christian scriptures.
