HELP! FAITH IS DIVIDING US…..

Good evening Dr. Tolu,

Please I have a very pressing issue I seriously want you to help me look at. I have known this girl for 3years and have never stopped admiring her. Recently, we got talking and I poured my heart out to her without hesitation. To God’s glory, she obliged and we started dating. I told her right from the onset that what I want is a serious relationship that could lead to marriage in a matter of months. In all honesty, this girl is all I ever desire. Even though we may have our differences sometimes, I feel so strongly that God specifically made her for me. I love her more than the sun loves to shine. Recently, she started raising issues of Church. That was after I took her to see my Reverend Father. I am a Catholic while she attends Christ Embassy. She has insisted that I must allow her attend her Church once in a while. Initially, I thought it was an issue we could sort out until I started discovering that it isn’t as trivial as it seem. Yesterday, she made it so clear that I must be allowing her attend her church once in a month after our wedding. Then I asked her if someone questions her outside about the faith she practices, what would be her response, and she said she will reply that she is a member of Christ Embassy but a Catholic by marriage. Frankly, as a Public Communicator, I haven’t heard something like that before. Again, I feel so strongly that it won’t be proper for couples to be attending different churches. I also feel a woman should be submissive enough to let go of her faith once she is cling to a man. Please I want your opinion on this. Thanks a million.
