How can Catholics and Protestants talk without fighting?
My fiancé is Catholic and I'm Protestant. Families are already suspicious. We agree Jesus is Lord, but not on everything. Is respectful unity possible without pretending differences are small?

If either of you must violate conscience to marry, pause. Romans 14:23 matters in engagement too.

Begin with Christ, listen accurately before correcting, name shared convictions and real differences honestly. For marriage, seek counsel about worship, children, and conscience before vows. Ephesians 4:4-6; Romans 14:19 — pursue what makes for peace and mutual upbuilding.
