Probably not. I know a couple who goes to different churches. One of liturgical and one is not. One kid goes with the dad and one kid goes with the mom. It works for them.

We solved a similar issue by not going and saying our kids can decide when they're older.

Would she be receptive to going church shopping with you? Go to a new one each week for a while and see if you can find one you both like?
We both grew up Catholic but ended up finding a Presbyterian church we both love. |

Another classic of talking about the important things before marriage.
1. Sex 2. Money 3. Kids 4. Religion If you don’t talk about these 4 things before getting married, you are not ready to be married. How do you solve your particular problem right now? Have an honest conversation about each other’s beliefs. Talk about what you each like about a service. Talk about what a church is and isn’t. Some churches are inward looking. Others are outward looking. When you have had these conversations in your situation it might be a single church, it might be separate churches. In the course of the conversation it should include a discussion about kids and how they would be raised. Have the conversation before ‘church shopping’. |

Any church that is just generic “Christian” in the congregation’s name is Protestant. |

Quoted: When I married my wife, she was very Christian. I, on the other hand was born Catholic, baptized at birth, went to Catholic school, but as I became an adult I didn't really go to church much at all. She got me to start going to church again with her, but I really don't like the style of the church that she goes to. But I go every week with her and our daughter. I am of the belief that as long as you love and believe in Jesus Christ, it doesn't matter what the demonation is, whether it be Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Apostolic, etc I don't think any of them are wrong and they follow the same bible. It just depends on what style you like your church to be. She likes the Apostolic church with the preacher. It's very loud, a lot of yelling, speaking in tongues etc. I just don't like that. I like a calmer and more traditional church experience like the Catholic church offers. In fact, my wife was out of town today visiting family out of state and she told me to go to church. I did. But I went to Catholic church for the first time today in probably a decade. And I really enjoyed it. Is there any way you think we could solve this? I don't think her mind is going to change and mine isn't going to either. And no, we aren't going to get divorced over it. But it's kind of a weird situation. Freudian slip. |

Tough situation OP. I knew a family growing up where the husband was Catholic and the wife Lutheran. They attended their own separate churches. The kids were Lutheran.
I am Lutheran. My wife was raised Southern Baptist. When we started talking marriage a condition of moving forward was that she could accept my headship to the extent of attending a Lutheran church with me and raising kids as Lutherans. She is now a confirmed Lutheran. If you actually pay attention, the differences between denominations are much deeper than style. There are fundamental theological differences. |

Thanks I fixed it. I used to be one of the greatest spellers in school. I could spell words that I couldn't even pronounce. But as I get older and the longer i've been out of school, my spelling gets worse and worse. I feel bad now for making fun of my dad when I was a teenager and he was in his 50's and I made fun of him for mispelling very basic words. |

There is a lot to unpack there between you and your wife's differences. Speaking in tongues was speaking in real foreign intelligible languages that the people receiving the message knew and understood, not mumbling jibberish. And to all the Catholics saying theirs is the only true church, have fun when Pope Francis (who has Papal Infallibility) contradicts the Bible. Good luck squaring that circle. |

It's all the same stuff with different name plates. My wife grew up baptist and I was Roman Catholic. We both recognized each other's needs and did a lot of church shopping before settling on the Methodists. Not that either of us buy specifically into the Methodist game but it's a nice in- between and we each really like the pastor.

A pope only uses Papal infallibility very rarely and some have gone years without using it, so it every thing spoken is not infallible And about pope Francis I don’t trust or respect the communist at all |

If the focus is Not on God and Christ then you are in the wrong church.
We go to a non-demonatial church that teaches the Bible verse by verse. If you study the Bible you will understand that many big denominations tend to NOT teach the entire bible and many put Traditions over the word of God. Some even go as far as to say that their Leader's word supersedes God's word and that Their leaders have the authority to forgive sin (Only God can forgive your sin). Some teach to pray to Christ's earthly mother (Mary) in direct violation of scripture. |

My opinion probably won't be well received, but I don't think church should be fun. You go to church to serve the lord and that is usually not comfortable for me.
I believe if God blessed you with a child it's your responsibility to get them to church. What they do with it once there adults is up to them. You and your wife need to be united on the church deal for your kid. |
