Once again, how you raise your children depends on whether or not the Catholic person is really strong in their faith. Because part of being stron in the Catholic faith is trusting in the church. It is therefore very important for the church to be a large part of the marriage ceremony, especially since matrimony is one of the sacraments. In addition a part of marriage is to give yourself to your spouse, in doing this you are to give yourself up, by uniting to the way Jesus gave his life for his Church. So you are to take the Eucharist to unite with the Blood and Body of Christ. This would have to occur in the presence of the Catholic priest.
