Question:
Ok so I like this girl, her family is strongly catholic, but she talks like she is the same as the rest as my christian friends.. The thing is i dont know much about catholisism and my spelling probably shows it... I mean how can I work around that? Like (looking into the future) if we were married, how could we agree on churches, and, would our families disagree on everything..
I guess if God is showing me that she is the right woman for me, then there will be some way to get around our differences.. I just dont know what to do... we dont date.. I dont know if i should ever ask...er

Well, you could buy a spelling textbook.
Oh, that's not what you meant?

Well, considering you're not even dating the girl right now (and also haven't mentioned whether you're even friends with her), I'd say that's looking quite a bit too far into the future. If a relationship between you and this girl ever comes about, then you can see how things progress and you'll be much better able to answer these questions at that time than you are now.
Answer:
So her and her family are strongly Catholic... and you're friends with her... and you want to know where you can learn more about Catholicism? Why don't you ask her about her beliefs? After all, not all Catholics believe the same way.
Answer:
if you wanna aviod church problems,...just keep in in the demmonation (SP sorry)
Answer:
She is a good friend of mine...........................
Answer:
Talk to her.............
Answer:
Cross that bridge when you come to it. There is a lot of conversation that occurs when dating someone, and part of the conversation will be theological. You can evaluate things further down the road, when you have a fuller picture of what she believes and how it jives with what you believe.
Answer:
...and when it's harder to get out of the relationship if it couldn't possibly work. No, I think this needs to be known going into the relationship. There is no reason you cannot learn what she believes AS HER FRIEND.

Afterall, Dana and I are pretty close denominationally. She was raised in Brethren and Baptist churches and I was in an Evangelical Missionary Church. The two were extremely close doctrine wise. But we still have areas of belief where we don't quite agree.

Or maybe because they married, period. People's lives change drastically when they get married. The Bible says that a man is to "leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife." That implies a laying aside of former familial ties (not entirely, of course, and not even to a great extent, it can be argued) and responsibilities and taking on the new responsibility of putting the marriage relationship first. That means that time that would have previously been spent with you and your family will now be spent with their wives and their new families (once they start having children).
