Faith, Boundaries, and Marriage: Navigating Religious Differences

I come from a strict Muslim background, and I married a Christian woman. I never imagined my wife attending vigils or staying overnight in church, and I can’t accept it. I understand and have agreed to her going to church on Sundays and praying anytime at home, but I don’t want her attending night programs like praise nights or other overnight gatherings. The issue is that she attends two different churches—her main church is Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S), but she also goes to Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) every other Sunday because her mother is a member there. I’ve been asking her to choose one church, but she has refused. Recently, she told me that her church wants all members to attend an overnight program (“igbele”), and that’s when I lost my temper.
