there is this guy i want to be with. he is everything i want in a guy. but the only problem is, he is apostolic and i am Pentecostal. we basically believe the same things but i don't believe in the girls clothing. (skirts, long hair, no make up or jewelry) and i cant do that. and also if we ever do get married we are going to have to decide on what church we are gonna go to together and i don't know what to do. and i don't feel comfortable wearing skirts the rest of my life.
How to make a relationship work with different religions. apostolic and pentecostal?

If you love each other, relligion shouldn't matter. You'll tolerate his relligion and he'll tolerate yours. Let him know you don't want to wear skirts for the rest of your life, and he will understand if he loves you. It's not the most important thing in your relationship.
There will have to be a lot of compromising, and how far are you willing to go on this?
Do you regularly attend your individual churches? What differences are there with regard to beliefs? And in which religion will you raise any children?
The Bible tells us to "marry only in the Lord", but also warns against interfaith, so it is something that will have to be considered very carefully.
Of course, if neither of you are strong in your respective religions there will probably be no conflict, but at the end of the day it needs to be considered carefully. No one can make the decision for you.
our religion is pretty big to both of us. but we are going to have a issue if we get married. the church that we both go to. and if we have kids, which why would we like to raise them. so yes it is difficult to say religion doesn't matter but it does when you are a big christian/
