You have done enough by being tollerant and supportive to his fate by attending ceremonies and maintaining a friendly contact with other muslims. As far as know there is no problem for a muslim to marry a christian woman, so the requirement to convert is not a must. In the same vain, if he wants you to become muslim, then you have the right to ask him the same in return-that he becomes christian. If you agree to convert, how will you educate your daughter who has been grown up in the christian spirit? Will she also be obliged to become muslimah? Do you have the right to impose this on her? And also, from my own expereince, you will have a lot of frustration and internal fight to accept a new religion. I hope my comment to be posted. It is an honest one, written with supreme respect to the islamic fate. Well, if you love somebody, then you love him/her the way s/he is.
