Marital Conflicts and the Resolutions

Our marriage is in one of the more or less tiny moments of our lives in situation it is between a rock and a cloggy place. It has now been six years since we got married in one of the most colorful church building weddings I hurl ever witnessed.It is not that we have not gone through some minor conflicts previously, but at least we were able to resolve them immediately by counselors, friends, our pastors and ourselves.The previous disagreements had to do with our monthly spending, pressure from our parents, time to arrive home and our choice of friends among some other issues. At present, things have escalated from being bad to worse, with no signs of a assertable solution at the horizon.Before we got married, I had vividly known that my fiance at that time was a committed Seventh Day Adventist though I am a member of the Assemblies of God Church, an evangelical chemical group of the Protestant church.Our parents, friends and the best couple had asked us if we foresaw any fut ure collision since our churches doctrines were unalike our answer then was a big no. We believed that our love for individually other would conquer any disputes that would arise in our marriage.My wifes father is a very staunch Adventist in fact, one of the elderberry bush elders at the local church and had never had the thought that any of his quintuplet children would ever desert the church which he helped found an action that make him become respected in the entire locality. My wife loves his father so much and thus has no intent of betraying him.Being an evangelical, a born over again Christian and the head of my family, I am not comfortable with the persuasion of having a divided family with my wife projecting church on Saturday making her not attend to her domestic and marital duties from six in the aurora to six in the evening (according to their beliefs). On the other hand, I attend church services on Sundays and other fellowships on the weekdays.The conflict is ari sing from the fact that we do not agree in very many issues that refer to the different doctrines that the both groups advocate for. My wife does not eat porc or any related products she does not take either tea leaf or coffee for to her both are drugs, classifying them in the same group with tobacco or marijuana.My wife and I are both civilian servants, my wife working with the department of Education and I as an multitude officer though at the moment I am on the study leave enrolled in the University in an undergraduate program.We have two daughters, Shari and Shako aged five and three respectively. It is our obligation as parents to pay back them up in a way that is honorable so that they green goddess become great members of the society. What makes me uncomfortable about our religious differences is because our little children ask confused (especially the elder one). Sometimes they go to church on Saturdays and on Sundays to their mothers and fathers churches respective ly.The older daughter has severally asked me why I do not go to their mothers church and she has, I suppose, asked her mum a similar question. She has made me represent that her friends usually go to church with their both parents and looking at her unquiet face, it is obvious that she will be very happy if we would start doing the same.My greatest desire is for us to attend the same church for the sake of our amity and our children. Since I have never thought of myself becoming an Adventist and have endlessly regarded myself incompatible with their doctrines (that I find very conservative) and because our church is a human action liberal, I have severally suggested that we choose a neutral church where we would all be attending together with our children but she has categorically state that this would only happen over her dead body. This definitely explains why I am a stressed man.
