The Catholic Church and the Orthodox church were once one, before they divided. They still have very many doctrines that are the same. I would say that they are much more compatible than Catholic - Orthodox, verses Protestant. You can make anything work long-term if you work at it. I am a Protestant married to a Greek Orthodox, and we have made it work for 30 years. I have always tried to do what the bible says concerning the marriage relationship. Read Eph 5 21-33

I am greek orthodox and my wife of 25 years is catholic. Both religions are compatible.
My wife didn't have to convert to orthodox when we got married, she kept her own religion.

Yes. They are like first cousins in faith! Now, they are not in unison, and some issue still divide the two Churches.
We can not yet share liturgy, or communion together so long term this is a problem.

Like marriage represents Christ's bond with the Church, so does a church represent a kin. The male is meant to "be a guy" and lead, whilst the congregation helps the two its chief and one yet another. Edit: wonderful. in no way, ever, use the expression "be a guy" or "guy up" returned, because of the fact you of course do no longer think of a guy would desire to take duty for his family individuals. Shrimp is gross. i do no longer carry my possessions larger than God. i've got stayed celibate regardless of a 5-12 months relationship, so there are no young toddlers around. you're complicated this NT passage with previous regulations. "previous regulations" are those regulations under previous covenant that have no bearing on your salvation. working example, take shrimp and different "unclean meats." Jesus made all meats sparkling to consume interior the NT. regardless of the undeniable fact that, the e book of Romans additionally says you're interior of your good to nevertheless stick to previous regulations, as an occasion, nevertheless no longer consume shrimp. Take different previous regulations, regardless of the undeniable fact that, alongside with stoning. this could of course contradict the classes of Christ, incredibly because of the fact he incredibly stated "enable he who's with out sin forged the 1st stone." Your new covenant is in Christ. era.

You need to talk about that between yourselves. Certainly you have common belief in the sacraments.
