Differing on religious beliefs and preferences, especially when they are strong beliefs, is a fundamental difference in beliefs that can divide two people. I don't think it's right that you have to suppress and water down what you believe in. In order to marry, one should be able to FULLY be their TRUE self... beliefs and all. It's not healthy to have to suppress a large part of yourself and to compromise or bend on your beliefs and values for a partner. Sadly, I personally don't think this can work out in the long run.
