I thought this piece was interesting, about some things you may want to discuss if you're in a relationship with a non-vegan.

Many of us are in relationships with people that aren't vegan and have probably had these conversations, but it's a good framework of things that are important to discuss.

Especially when it comes to kids. I think all couples in it for the long haul should discuss exactly how they intend to raise their future children instead of waiting until the day comes. I've seen many relationships break down after the children were born.. being on different pages when it comes to parenting is a huge problem. Even if it is just about how they eat.. veganism for many is ethical and that can get pretty touchy.

Thankfully my husband chose veganism as well.. the minute he saw what was happening to the animals. My kids have not chosen veganism. Their bodies, their choice.. I raised them on (minimal) meat, I can't expect them to feel as I do and I won't force them to.

Very good article! I think the ability to have an open and honest conversation about any topic is the main skill you have to have to have successful relationships. Especially if you need to discuss something that impacts your daily choices at least three times a day!
