1) Certain denominations have an unwritten constitution and a way of indoctrinating their ladies to only desire husbands from INSIDE their denomination and turn down brothers from “OUTSIDE”
I wonder when fellow believers became outsiders.
I thought we are all inside Christ.
Someone told my wife then not to accept my proposal, because I was from “outside”.
2) Marriage Committee
The marriage committee in some denominations no be am.
Their rules, regulations and modus operandi create an unfriendly and hostile atmosphere for relationships to be initiated, nurtured, thrive and mature into marriage.
Any small thing (like the couple seen outside together holding hands), they’ll suspend the courtship, suspend the brother, give the sister backseat and even suspend the parents of the couple wey no do anything, suspend their grandparents self if possible, plus their friends and well wishers..
3) The Attitude of some Pastors.
A Pastor will say something along the line of “After I have trained, groomed and invested in you spiritually and otherwise for years, a brother from another church will now come and marry you and take you away to his church, it won’t happen”
Some Pastors prefer a Sister to be single, grow old in their church and be singing in the choir than to marry and leave.
Single Ladies are omnipresent in abundance in such denominations.
4) Families that are Loyalist to such Denominations and Pastors.
This is even the greatest problem to deal with.
Fathers who will disown their daughter,
Siblings who will alienate their own bl.ood for wanting to marry from outside their denomination against the norm/pastors wish.
Some times, for fear of this rejection, many ladies can’t do otherwise and remain single, waiting for inside brother that may never come.
