Me, being more of the hands on Mom was able to teach the kids about the Catholic faith.
During religious holidays of both faith we try to celebrate it. EX...Ramadan, I don't cook during the day out of respect to his day of fasting. During Eid, I make sure that I order 2 whole goats to distribute to the poor. Christmas season, my husband is Santa, he puts up lights around our house. Then easter, he is the easter bunny.
It's really just a matter of compromising and respecting one's faith
