Must husband and wife belong to the same religion/ denomination?

[Fidelia]

My pastor preached today that it is wrong for members of different denominations and religion to marry. He said that the differences in belief could cause friction in the marriage that can make it unenjoyable.

Do you share in that sentiments that people from different religion and denomination should not marry each other?

I can't answer such a thing since I am not yet married. But if ever that happens, it is okay for me to marry someone with a different religion as long as we believe in the same God. I witnessed a lot of married couples who come from different religions happy and thriving.

Truth be told there is notting wrong with two people from different religion getting married but the it is better for both to be from the same religion, cause there would always be clashes between their beliefs and the likes, and this could lead to a divided home.

I think the only challenge with inter religious marriage is which religion the children would belong to in their formative years? I think an understanding couple can sit down and talk about it. Exposing the kids equally to the two religions could he a viable workable solution.

The world is full of people with different ideologies and beliefs. For me l would say this, it depends on the personal decision and standing upon the issue. For me l like it when my wife and l share the same religion.

Yeah, all religious peoples say that one should not married to another religion because they have different views.

I believe they should be on the same denomination. I heard of couples who started out having different beliefs. But one converted to the other belief.

Well, two can't work together unless they agree so it's better they attend same. You need to attend same church to avoid disputes

It is better they have the same views on religion. But some couples with their diverse cultures and religious beliefs still coexist without any friction. It depends on understanding and tolerance level.

I think that nothing prevents them from getting married, but I also think that religion can very often be the cause of conflict. For example, when a child is born, they may start arguing about which faith to raise the child with
