If a man is not on the same path and does not abide by the same guidelines that I do, how could we possibly be a good match? We could never truly have a complimentary relationship if I spend my whole life working toward something he doesn't even believe is real or true. And if he has a different religion, I would respect the difference, but I wouldn't support it....and what kind of wife could I be to him if I couldn't support what he's given his soul to? It's really that simple.

I agree with the premise. There will be enough disagreement between spouses about trivial issues. Religious tenets even among Protestant denominations are significant enough to think long and hard about marrying someone who doesn't share your most deeply held beliefs.
