IMO, two christians can be as unequally yoked as as christian with a sinner. It has NOTHING to do with spiritual maturity. It has nothing to do with denominations. It has everything to do with MOTIVES.
In my little life I've seen preachers look for the right "piano player" wife, believing only she could "complete" his ministry, & mess it up. I have also seen the 10 & 4 circumstance mentioned here work like a charm. The main thing is if both are looking for God's will as to whether or not they should be married or who it should be. This is the only thing that matters.....God first. He can take a 99% mature & pair it with a 1% mature & make the relationship run as smooth as silk...... when He is in it.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
I like God's answers because they're soooo simple..... His ways are right & that's it.

Oh, sorry! But I live almost 2 years with a Catholic and, when she insisted to wear short and tight skirts and started going to the disco scorting her daughter, I decided to pospone our marriage and, as I have clearly seen, protestants aren´t viewed as "denominations" by Catholics and, deep inside, we are seen their way like Pagans.
When I attended the Church of Christ (where I started to believe in Jesus) my ex wife claimed she was a leader in her church and we SELDOM attended the same place and, when raising our 3 children, those contradictions mentioned by several people here on CC appeared to divide us, to the point of divorced...
You are right, because MANY have coped WELL within those denominations, but I couldn´t.

Hmmm!
This morning, when I woke up, I remembered one of the most important relationships I had ended
when I said I didn´t believed in X-mass and I refused to partake on it by 1988 so, denominations
and their belief, at least for me, have been impportant, once I pondered such differences.
A grinch is always a grinch, and it was the 1st time I was so sure about that.

People probably do those things in most countries, don't they? Even in scripture.
I wasn't judging. Truly. Not my place to do so. I don't even know you.
Was merely pointing out that other things besides denomination may have come into play, you know?

To avoid being derailed that made me think about those who were called to God´s party. Several of them said "I´m busy..." or "I´m married" and, as it is also seen many countries today, no one would buy an ox, or a donkey, without a TEST and, at that parable, Jesus spoke about a guy who wanted to prove those he bought because many people lied if there aren´t testing those one they chose to love, even within a simple naive kissing or touching of hands.
As for me, it is a lie saying "One size fits all". It could serve to get a t-shirt, but not my pants or shoes: Possible yokes are also tested.
