He Is Not My Church Member That Is Why I Want To Dump Him

Dear Eve,
My name is Ijeoma,Am so confuse right now because nothing seem to be working right for me,my issues always have a reason to bounce back into my own net.
I'm a single lady of 38 years of age,All my younger ones are married with children and this have been a major problem in my life.i have been mocked by people and disgraced even by my own family members.This made me cry sorrowful to God to send me my own missing rib and he is about to do it now but our parents have refused to give their consent.
I met Ifeanyi at my church end of the year prayer convention.We both became friends and exchanged numbers and we became more close after the convention,February this year he proposed to me just two months after we met,my joy was great because I have given up hope.My family members were so excited because I have been a fountain of Shame.
But this joy was cut short immediately I told them he is a Catholic,he was invited to the convention by a friend.My father who is the general overseer of our church swore not be alive and see that happen,my mother has been crying asking me to consider the damage it will cost the church because they have been preaching against getting married to unbelievers.
Ifeanyi's parents have insisted that he will not marry me because of our age gap,I'm four years older than he is and also am not a Catholic.
I feel like to run away from this earth,this is my only chance.I don't know what to do now.I have been praying and asking God for his intervention but both of our parents have not even one bit of change of mind.
Please I seek your advice Miss Eve and the public what should I do?


Dear Ijeoma,
My name is Mrs Adedeji,I read your story and I want to let you know that in your case there still hope for Our God will do it for you,I want to tell you my story.When I met my husband in 1994,he was a Rccg member and I was a living faith church member.We got married in my own church because in Yoruba land a woman must be wedded in her own church.After the wedding I had to start attending Rccg with my husband as supposed but I wasn't comfortable in their services.i decided to attend first service at winners chapel by 6:30am and then return to home and attend Rccg with my husband,I did this for one year then one day I invited my husband to living faith church for breakthrough service that was how my husband became a member of living faith for 19 years now.
I tell you this story for you to know that denomination shouldn't be a reason why you should forget this marriage expect you don't love this man enough then you can listen to your parents.If both of you have agreed to marry then talk to your parents and don't allow them  Use denomination issue to bring everlasting regret to both of you.How can your parents consider someone as an unbeliever because he is not of the same church with you??Is it what the bible taught  us?Our race is of enternity not denomination.Denomniation issue is one of the major reason many matured ladies are still unmarried today.I advice you to overlook denomination if you truly love this man and after you have gotten married don't force him to convert to you church rather you should be in his church,that's how it should be.if eventually he wants to convert it should be his decision to make.
Secondly,you need to know that life generally is a warfare and this your issue is a part of it so put on your war armor which prayer and fight this battle to finish,who knows the devil might be fighting your marital destiny,they have programmed all this to scatter your marital life so you have to fight seriously through prayers,you and your man must join hands together in prayers and victory will be yours.many people who got married to pastors today are not happy in the marriage,that tell us that religion has little to do with the happiness in your marriage,you and your man should know that it is only both of you that will bare the outcome of this marriage therefore close your ears against any advice that will not help you in anywhere.
Lastly,age had nothing to do with love.Love conquerth all things including marriage.Since this man knew of your age different then you have nothing to fear and the mother doesn't have to stop your marriage.Many people who got married to ladies younger than them most of the marriages have packed up,so let this mother know that what will bring successful is not age or church neither material thing but LOVE.I wish you s successful happy marriage life in Advance.
