Should Church Denomination Matter In Marriage?

I will be brief because of time, to the singles and the young ones, when it comes to making marital decisions, don’t bring it church denomination, as long as s/he is a Christian, you only have to consider these three things:

1. Compatibility
2. Comfort
3. Happiness

Even height, size, colour, education, status don’t count in most exceptional cases, as none of these can earn you the needed happiness in marriage when the above three are missing.

When these three things are there you’ll succeed, marriage is stronger than religion, marriage is older than religion, the understanding of marriage sits higher than all the religions of this world.

Religion can’t explain marriage but marriage defines denominations, so when you place denomination above marriage you may make a terrible mistake.

Your heart knows it, it tells you the truth that you’ll be comfortable and happy with him/her, but due to the fact s/he isn’t Catholic, Anglican or Pentecostal you turned him down, what if you turned down your destiny.

I don’t wish you a misfortune but those who make decisions based on church denomination don’t always get it right at times, if God doesn’t discriminate in matters of denomination, why would anyone do this? If it’s destined your wife/husband is a Catholic if you turn him/her down based on “ọbụro onye church anyi”, you’ll understand later.

What role will your denomination play if eventually you end up in wrong home, if you end up with a man of your denomination who treats you beastly what will denomination do? Can it save you? No, so why rely on a man made principle that can’t help any situation.

There’s no single problem of man any church denomination can help, so why lean of fruitless tree? if there’s tell me.

Can denomination heal the challenges of marriage? No, can denomination water you when you’re thirsty? No, what drives you then, simply put aside everything denomination in terms of marriage and you’ll be fine.

This thing we call church denomination has destroyed destinies, yet many people still hold it so tight.
You see many people who are in homes they aren’t supposed to be, and you begin to check what happened? Que s’est passé? denomination put them in that dishonourable state.

Denomination can mess you up even beyond the mess your enemies had wished you, whether s/he is Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostal, Baptist, Adventist, Methodist etc if s/he fits into the three things I listed above and all other things being equal by cetris paribus, just make a good decision.

Your destiny isn’t tied to any church denomination, but your destiny is invariably tied to marriage, that’s why you’ve to put denomination aside and focus on the true elements of having a happy home.

They lie to you when they tell you church denomination matters in marriage, when my elder brother met the family of his wife then, it was a thug of war, because he’s Pentecostal and she was from a strong headed Catholic family, her siblings and parent refused, but one funny thing the Ada said was if she marries a Pentecostal virgin Mary and their late mum in the grave will start weeping, tell me is this not a brainwash even in this modern era, but people believe it.

This’s why it’s always difficult to marry a girl strongly rooted in Catholic if you’re a Pentecostal, she can easily go with Anglican because of the similarities, they brainwashed her if she marries a Pentecostal Mary will start weeping blood, and being a woman she adores, she wouldn’t want her to cry, hence the reason she won’t accept even if you’re the right person.

But hear the truth, God doesn’t care if you marry a Catholic, Anglican or Pentecostal, He only cares if you marry someone who believes Jesus the Son of God is GOD, every Christian believes this, so you are free marry anyone irrespective of his/her church denomination.
Nevertheless, I salute every decision.
