I have been living with the man I love for more than three years. We've even bought a house together. I just recently began hearing about all the doom in living together. Now what do we do? We have said that we plan to marry sometime. Both divorced, kids only part time. He is Catholic and would have to get an annulment. Right now we take his kids to church and religious ed. for their catholic training. I don't think they would let us if we married outside the church. I'm really lost in all this. We are in love and try to do all the things for each other in the Needs book. Neither of us knows any one here to counsel with.

You're following the "book" HN/HN, and it sounds like you're doing OK. So it doesn't appear that you need "help" yet. Statistics don't really work well when it comes down to a "specific" datapoint (your relationship).<p>I'd suggest that you talk to a priest about the issues that you're worried about. I would think that you'd have no problems at all with the religious education (regardless of where you were married). If I'm not mistaken, getting married "outside" does not affect your ability to participate in church, or in your ability to get your children baptised. But talk to a priest about it.
