My wife and children are Christians

As-Salaamu Alaykum!
My wife and two children are Christians and I do not expect them to convert to Islam, as there is no compulsion in religion. I have converted out of conscience, but I would not expect them to convert because of me. I cannot force Islam upon them. What I can do is teach them to honor and remember God, and to treat others as they want to be treated. I will also teach them about the final day. Are there any views about this issue in my life?
Thanks in advance.

Are they traditional Christians or nontrinitarian?

Yeah...my wife is a cultural Catholic. She is not wedded to the trinitarian doctrine. She has not been indoctrinated at all, praise be to God. My kids have been baptised Catholic. They believe in God first and foremost. My daughter had an aversive experience at her cathechism class. I moved from being raised Catholic to Lutheran to Presbyterian. I have run the gammut of the reformation in my faith life. I believe that I am being guided by the hand of God. I have been bringing my children to the Presbyterian Church, which seems liberal enough to accept a unitarian view. However, I have a very strong affinity for the teachings of al Quran. Al Quran cements my faith in God. I not only have a stonger conviction than before reading and studying al Quran, which has been an on and off task for me for the past 19 years of my life, if that makes any sense. I may be dribbling on and on...I will take a break from this post for now... ) angel

You know there are many churches like mine that are non-trinitarian and strive to bring Christianity, Islam and Judaism closer together. Have a look at the website www.ChristianChurchOfReality.com and see how close we are. Your wife and children may be happier in a church like that.
