My problem is with all y'all who are saying that people can't lead Christian lives if a married couple doesn't worship God in the exact same way. I think it is entirely possible for people to follow God's instructions for a relationship while worshipping in two variant forms. I've seen it done, a lot. You're saying you don't think I can do what I want to do with my life. I don't think that's true.

GP, people that feel this way are speaking in terms of THEIR PERSONAL relationship (because the question was asked on a personal level, not in general). I don't recall seeing anyone post a blanket statement of "people who marry of different denominations/religions are doomed to divorce court".
If two people of different faiths make it work - YEAH! Some of us just prefer to have a spouse that shares the same faith/denomination - its really no different that those who have posted that they prefer a spouse with no religious inclination. By using the same that same thought process, does that automatically mean that those who do (are religious) won't have a healthy marriage? Of course not.
....and maybe I've been in the dark, but what exactly is "jews for jesus"?
