Christopher and Ruth met during their JAMB coaching classes eleven years ago. They hit it off and the usual love banter started. Though there were times when their relationship had challenges especially in their university days which caused them to go off and on at one point in time or the other. Yet, they still decided to get married to each other last year when Christopher eventually made up his mind that they should settle down since it was now obvious that he could comfortably take care of an additional mouth.

Right now, the wedding preparation is expected to be in top gear because they already have a tentative date towards the end of this year but the challenge is that Ruth is a very strong member of one religious organisation different from that of Christopher’s. And one of their bylaws is that they won’t bless or support any of their strong members who wouldn’t marry anyone from that same religious setting as theirs.

.hmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I kinda understand . Some denominations are like that

Catholics do it too, if you want to get married to a non-catholic
The church would advice that your spouse be conveted to Catholicism,

The point being that you raise a family in the faith you were raised...(they are very afraid of ideological "impurities" or fallacies from other faiths and don't want to lose their members)

although I've seen catholics marry muslims and the spouses maintain their respective religions or denominational faith (as the case may be)
Don't know how that works

Although..............
If she loves him and they are both ready to be married,
I'll advice she joins his church...she has to choose which is more important, her church/religion or the man (pls note.....this is not always a straightforward answer) (there are ppl who changed religions for marriage, marriage crashed .......... after which they find themselves running back to their former faiths)

But her case isn't to bad since she isn't switching religions, or becoming a pagan.....she is just switching denominations......if they both attend protestant churches, then it is a win-win for her...

Many protestants switch churches easily....winners today, redeem tomorrow, house on the rock nxt....since their doctrines are similar

Introvert beta pass u

BACK TO THE MATTER
Save ur ass, ur happiness n future
Come back home

They don't need a church approval to get married.

O church

Religion is a ruse. Why it keeps controlling people's lives is what I don't understand sef.

Depends on the individuals involved...
