We Are Not Members Of The Same Church, My Family Is Not In support

Pls Aunty Eya,I need u to post dis 4 me n I need urgent reply.Pls dnt Include my name.I just met a man I truly love n care deeply about.Before we started,He begged me not to tink of leaving him nor breaking his heart cos his heart had been broken by his previous relationships. 

But d problem here is we r not members of d same church. My church does not believe in getting married to a non- member n I do not want to go to anoda 1( Pls dnt judge me on dis) I lost my father @ a young age n my Pastor was d 1 who helped me get to where I am today.I’ve come to take him as my father n seek his consent in all I do.

My late father has no relatives n we only associate with members of my Mum’s family who also attend d same church as mine.I’v had two suitors 4rm my church,1 is uneducated n works 4 an individual,d oda has a nine year old son outside marriage. Both do not appeal to me in anyway.I indirectly mentioned d person I love to my Pastor n immediately he knew he’s not our member, He said( my hand no dey) none of my
mum’s relative support it. 

What do I do now cos I’m so CONFUSED N DEPRESSED.Do I get married to him witout anyone standing by me, or do I wait 4 another person n end up breaking d heart of d one I love and mine as well?
Did I say dat age is not on my side( In my thirties) n I need to settle down ASAP. All my siblings have gotten married. Pls do not rain curses on me,I need sincere advice.

  1. What do you want from life?A happy marriage with someone that makes u happy and vice versa…OR satisfying your father figure,family nd church members,etc. Pls my dear,what do you want? The last time I checked,there was only ONE GOD.If your pastor believes in that,then he knows also that the fact that you fell in love with someone from another church doesn't make him an infidel.PLS wht DO YOU WANT IN LIFE??

  7. Most pastors insist on their church members choosing their partners from d same church. It is 4 their own selfish reasons. So they can multiply in number. Dont let them use 2 increase church population but u wont break away like a rebel. Bring d guy close 2 ur family & let them see d good qualities in him. D both of u can gradually win them over. Dont sacrifice ur love & happiness 4 anybody. Would they rather see u marry d single dad or d illiterate & be unhappy d rest of ur life?

  8. What is d population of the church? What kind of church and Pastor is that. Pray to God to make His way plain about your marriage. Look for happiness and not satisfying your Pastor and family

  10. I am a Christian, my wonderful husband is a Muslim. We are happy, I choose him, I am the living with him. So my dear you must stand up for what you want, you are the one to stay in the marriage not them, so in future when you have misunderstanding you know how to handle it because you married a man you love and understand. THE GOOD LORD WILL DIRECT YOU. AMEN

  11. Really???? Christian married to a Muslim??? I hope you know that you are not a Christian because you go to church??? If you became a Christian after marriage – no problem. All the same, I wish you continuous peace in your home…
    Poster – it is dangerous to marry without your 'parents' consent. Find a way to convince your parents. However, I think you need to move out from that group – liberate yourself. Your future and happiness is your responsibility.

  12. My dear u have to convince ur parent n pastor that, is ur happiness that matters here. In marriage u are the only person to carry the cross. Honestly, if u love the guy sincerely forget about the church we are serving the same God. Choose wisely! Psiky

  13. Poster, do you go to a Christian Church? Is your boyfriend a christian? I don't understand why your Pastor would just want you to get married to someone from your church. It's not normal. Bring your boyfriend close to your family and if they still find fault with him solely because he's not a member of your church, that's no a good reason for you not to marry. I pray that God will guide you in the right direction because believe me, your happiness is what's important. If your family is looking out for your well being, they will think the same way.
    If you get married to him without their consent, eventually they will come around and accept it. This whole thing is not fair to you, but God will make a way.

  14. The cruellest sin you can commit on this earth is sinning against yourself. Don't follow the crowd, lead your life. You find a love, stay with it. Stick to it, and it's going to stick to you. People will talk, and even when you don't follow your heart, they'll still talk. So step out of the shell and be in love with who you want to be with. You're old enough to be yourself and stand firm without any one trying to say no to your yes.

  15. Well you can take the "ruth" approach. "his people will be your people" and his church your church. Otherwise, grow some balls. You can't stay in a church because of the people. THose people won't get you into heaven. If your hubby won't join your cult…i mean church, then think about what's more important to you . staying in that church for the sake of it's people. or finding a church where you actually can do God's work. While you're busy being in the cult, I'm sure they'll find a husband for you among your "people"

    (1) Government
    (2) Religion

    -end of qoute-

    In your case, religion is it.
    My Advise is…. Do God's bidding not that of man or society!

    Nuff'Said!

  17. Sorry toburst your bubble but if u really had done any type of deep research,u would have known that JW's don't have pastors or deacons or any of those self imposed titles that churches give to themselves.
    Thank you and now make a constructive comment.

  20. Follow your heart.
    Marry for love and not to please your family.

    Why don't you invite him over and let your people see him. If you marry him, I hope you know you'll be going to his church except if he's open minded and allows you continue going to yours but I fear your church people and family might influence you against him later on.

    Ask GOD to reveal his will regarding you too.
