- Deep differences about God and faith can shape your whole marriage and how you raise kids, so they matter more than many other disagreements.
- Don’t treat religion as a small compromise — fundamental beliefs often determine the first principles of a shared life, so you should honestly assess whether you can reconcile those views.
- Having the same goals now (home, roles, kids) doesn’t prove you’ll handle future stress; test how you’ll navigate faith differences before making a permanent commitment.
