if you are willing to change church for this man (after marriage) then you should do so now and stop wasting valuable peaceful time.

btw: the fact that you even want to change church after marriage , just confirms whatever your future husband is saying.

Yes it does!
When will people come to the realization that inter-denominational relationships are a No No? Love is not foolishness! He's always condemning the denomination that brought up a lady that he fell in love with, and wants to marry? What an arse!. . . And you are foolishly clinging to him, promising him a change to his denomination after he marries you? Height of obfuscation!. . . Are you that ugly and desperate? Smh!

Come on Killz don't be melodramatic. Boyfriend is just myopic and OP is just being silly. If she's made up her mind to swittch churches after marriage why not resolve whatever problems her bf is having along those lines? Just because he doesn't approve of her church doesn't mean the realtionship us doomed na.

This is an absolute atrocity! What is the Body of Christ turning into these days?!!! How can a Pentecostal marry an Anglican?!!! Abomination of the highest order! Even Anglicans from different dioceses have no business getting married to each other! Both of you need to fall down on your knees and weep for forgiveness! The Jesus in an Anglican church is a completely different Jesus in a Pentecostal church oh! Don't you ever dare confuse the two again! Thank you!  

grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Nigerians no go kill me with laughter today with all manner of petty, irrelevant drama! Even the English that founded the Anglican church are quickly forgetting about it! But we Nigerians are torturing our relationships over it! So stooopid!

Re: Does Your Denomination Really Matter In Your Relationship? by emmerks(m): 10:23am On Feb 21, 2012
Denomination really matters alot. if u know u can cope and will like to change it is better u do it now or never. whatever u can accept before marriage, do u think u can accept it after marriage. pls dont be carried away by the sentiment called love.
Re: Does Your Denomination Really Matter In Your Relationship? by AZeD1(m): 10:26am On Feb 21, 2012
Op if i remember correctly, Jesus said love thy neighbour as thy self not love thy church neighbour as thy self. i'm catholic so i just might be wrong. Ask your reverend.

So not only do the religious discriminate against other religions, now they also discriminate against different sects within the same religion?

I know about shi'a and Sunni Muslims not getting along ( even though they are both technically of the same faith), now Christians wan start their own?

This is a slippery slope folks. Life is short, Live and Love as much as you can!   wink

*Accepting your way of worship is not the problem. Have u eva tot about wia the union would be blessed, Church or Mosque??
*How your partner's family would feel towards the union (no matter what u tink, u kant do without the family blessings)
*What about the Children that would result from the union? At their tender age, wia would they worship b4 becoming of age to choose their own paths.

Moremi 2008, may God forgive you, becos u're a CONFUSSIONIST. How can u say Anglicans cnot marry Pentecostal? You need to examine dat your cesspool you call mouth in your egg head, u equally say the Jesus in Anglican is diferent frm Pentecostal. If i have my way i will celotape your mouth 4eva afterall is not compulsory u must talk. Pls look be u leap next time.
Re: Does Your Denomination Really Matter In Your Relationship? by Killz3(m): 10:59am On Feb 21, 2012
Marital disunity is when your husband takes some of the kids and heads to anglican, while you pick some of the kids and head to pentecostal. You both get to your respective churches and you see married couples sitting together. Dont you wonder what the hell is wrong with you both? And you claim you love each other? What kind of nonsense love is that? May thunder fire such love, and dislocate it. . . Amen!

!. Wetin no concern our family and marriage?? Oya go marry without telling your people and also asking her people to accept you.
2. If you be pentecostal, for instance, go marry J.W. You people don't believe in the same doctrines, how would it work. Don't tell me it doesn't matter cos it does.

Re: Does Your Denomination Really Matter In Your Relationship? by modele2: 11:27am On Feb 21, 2012
The guy is just looking for excuses bo. He should have some respect for the demonination that played a part in your upbringing!

Issues arise only when you dont want to change if not it is very key. I can just imagine MFM and catholic getting married, how would they say their family prayers grin grin grin
Since u want to change, then there are no issues, you can as well start changing now. But you didnt call him your fiance so i am not even sure how deep the relationship is sef.

I am personally so dogmatic and religon grounded that i am sure someone like me will NEVA change religion becos of a man, so for peace sake i avoided all interdom relationships.

Denominational crisis based on doctrinal differences can ruin a marriage. it is a serious matter.
The Pentecostals are better off marrying their fellow Pentecostals and the Catholics are better off marrying Catholics for peace sake.
There is likely to be strong marital crisis where a Pentecostal marries a Catholic or a Jehovah Witness.The marriage will not work because there are strong doctrinal differences. I am an apostle of,and an advocate of love in marriages which i have been promoting on my blog www.maritalsuccessresource.com but i want you to know that love is not blind when talking about marriage.
There is what is called spiritual intimacy in marriage which has been overlooked by many couples venturing into marriage. If the spiritual intimacy or bond is lacking,the marriage is headed for the rocks.
The Pentecostals believe very strongly in the existence of a Heaven and a Hell as well as the Resurrection among many others.The Catholics and Jehovah Witness do not believe in many of the cardinal principles of Christianity or have distorted views about them. How will the marriage of a Pentecostal man and a Jehovah Witness lady work especially where they continue to belong to their different doctrines after the wedding day?The man will not be able to cleave unto his wife where they are not spiritually intimate and that is the foundation of future discord.
A true Xtian and true believer in the true word of God who marries a Catholic or Jehovah Witness is clearly in breach of 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.
