I’m a Christian from a mixed marriage - Southern Baptist and Primitive Baptist.
I don't mean to be rude, but that made me laugh. I hope you meant it to be humorous (the "mixed marriage" phrasing), even if true.

I take no offense at all, particularly since none was intended.

Its funny now but back then my father’s Primitive Baptist church thought the Southern Baptists were going to hell for having seat cushions and and organ in church

OTOH my Mother’s Southern Baptist family was worried about one of the daughters because she married a Missionary Baptist Preacher and was going to dark and distant Puerto Rico to convert the natives rather than staying home like she was supposed to do.

All this when an outsider would have said “Hey, two country kids from good Baptist families with multiple preachers in each family go off to the big city, meet and get married - good match.”

And the lesson I learned was that faith in God, forgiveness through Jesus and doing right by people is what really counts in this life, not the details.
