Is inter-denominational marriage considered the same as being unequally yoked, even if both partner profess to be Christians?
A friend of mine was engaged to a Catholic man and she's Baptist. Her parents kept forcing the issue of converting, but he insisted he was a Christian. The woman's family invited him to their house one evening and made him get down on his knees (literally) and profess that Jesus was his savior. He complied with all this, but later on he didn't like all of it, being forced to do that.So things went sour and he ended the engagement and the woman is 42 years old and she might not get another chance to marry and a chance to have biological children.
So I guess what I'm asking is, why is Catholic considered not equally yoked with a Baptist and should an engagement break up over this, especially if the person(s) might not get a chance at marriage and family. I'm asking also because I know so many older singles who kept bypassing someone based on religious differences and they are still single and not happy about it. (Although yes, there are people who love being single and that's their choice).
