Abstract
How well men and women succeed at the task of reconciling the twin pressures of their love for one another and the claims of their respective traditions will determine, in large measure, how satisfying their marriage will be. But perhaps an even greater challenge than that of achieving a satisfactory relationship with one another, is the challenge intermarried couples face in raising their children. Indeed, as we have seen in earlier chapters, the ideals of child rearing that each person brings to a marriage are often one of the key issues of marital negotiation in an intermarriage.
