What religion is your husband?
I know you didn't want this answer--but I'll give it anyway.
The very best thing you can do for your children is to marry a man who loves Christ with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength. Your husband will play a central role in how your children grow up, what they believe, how they understand the world, what they understand about themselves, etc. If you marry an unbeliever, there will be disunity in the marriage and your children will not be able to look to their father as a spiritual leader.
You will feel a desire to make parenting decisions based on scripture, while your husband will not have that same desire. You will desire to submit your decisions to God's will, while your husband will not look to God.
And as a wife, you will be yoked in a covenant with God with an unbeliever. If you really want to know God's will for you, study the scriptures. A believer should only marry a believer.
2Co 6:14 - Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
This thread is specifically about your parenting questions, so I won't go further into the topic of your future marriage, but clearly your choice to marry an unbeliever will have a great impact on your parenting and on your children.

About the bad language, start disciplining yourself in front of them. Do something like set up a jar for bad language and when you use bad language, put a quarter in. Your good example will do a lot. If your children want to participate, give them some tokens like poker chips. Then they have to put one in when they say a bad word. Explain to them the problem honestly and ask them to help you do better. Be excited in front of them when you do better, and when they do better.
