Hi,
Building a life together requires commitment and sharing common goals. A marriage in Judaism is a sacred bond between two people that is about supporting each other in each person’s spiritual growth. Without sharing the same religion and common goals the marriage becomes untenable and when children are involved it becomes even worse.
While you may be infatuated with each other now, there is a high incidence of divorce in interfaith unions due to the inevitable conflict that arises:

An option of course is conversion, however you should only convert if you truly believe in Judaism. That kind of commitment should come from within and not because you want to get married.
