I just love the way 5 out of 7 didn't get the joke!
Is there always twice as much sects in a mixed marriage than a non mixed marriage?

They already tried that by forming the Ecumenical Council. What they were able to do is to agree to disagree with each other without resulting to any bloodshedding encounters like what happened between Protestant and Catholics in Ireland and England.
A time will come when all of them will join forces together to gang up against the One coming to disprove Jesus' legacy as the son of God. When that happens, the truth may have been proven by any of the opposing sides. By then, if all believers of Christ wins, they will start banging each other's head to prove who is really holding the truth. If the other side wins however, let us just hope it will be for the real truth rather the rumor that has been spread many hundreds of years since the beginning of Christianity.

Yes, you can have a meaningful relationship. But sects should only get in the way as far as you let them.
Remember, you both worship the same God and both believe in the divinity of his son, Christ.
Despite the religions being different, your core faiths are very much the same. However, if children are involved, you have to decide which way you're going to raise them, because there are differences - such as the praying to Mary - that exist, but I do believe can be resolved.
Don't forget to search the Bible if you need answers.

Catholic and Protestant people are Christians, just have the man made title on which denomination they attend to be fed the Word of God.
I know many from each denomination that have married and are fulfilling this life together as ONE.

Yes they can! We have been happily married for over 50 years. Well, we did have our trials but were that much happier once they were overcome.
Both denominations are founded on the Gospel of LOVE. Focus on what's important and in common. Forget about "ideologies" that have nothing to do with loving God and your neighbour.
To LOVE is the answer - whatever the question.

In the UK Catholics and Protestants generally live alongside each other in the community and interact without any problem.

Why do people let religion get in the way of love? Why do people want to love a spiritual being more than they do the person they might be meant to be with? I will never love anyone or anything more than my fiance. I'm an atheist, and he's a christian. And he loves ME more than anything and tells me that every day. I think if you can love someone more than your husband/wife, then you really don't need to have a relationship with that person.

I have friends who fit that description who have been married for 10 years. Of course, being married doesn't always imply a meaningful relationship.
