You mean like conservative Methodism and liberal Quakerism? We remain married for 42 years...and counting.

Because they are Christians with Christian beliefs, they should be able to resolve any differences or just agree to disagree. Husband/wife or whoever, I don't know anyone who agrees 100% with everything in the Bible so, shouldn't be a serious problem.
As mentioned you are being vague so if there is something in particular, I suppose what I just said could depend on the problem.

Sorry for making it seem vague. Few examples can help:
A friend of our complains the husband doesn't agree with certain teaching that permit you to work against your enemies, certain teaching about the presence of evil spirits hovering about in the form of nocturnal animals, humans etc; family and land deliverance stuff...etc. The husband, who is a minister, frowns about such - and these shouldn't be practised anywhere around him
and secondly, our Christian brother and his Catholic wife. Blame it on love or blind love;)
hope the vagueness has gone over the bar?

Disaster.
That is if you care about your convictions, and you're involved in situations with your spouse where they matter.
Evil spirits hovering over your two cats?Sorry for making it seem vague. Few examples can help:

I'd have to research that one.
You need to rebuke the spirit in question, including rebuking your spouse if necessary.
There is no place in the lives of Christians to have evil spirits hovering around them.
Rebuke the devil and he must flee.
I know what you are saying but what else are you saying?That spirit pays the billsgives my mom a roof over her head..

suffering the consequences of being unequally yoked is a totally different scenario: altho at times the younger generations dont care much about this issue; they want that female/male that pleases thier hearts. Everyone has been here...until God intervened.
granny, the scenario is: the two are true Christians, but they have varying doctrinal beliefs
God hates divorce. .. Rollo, i knew better when i married 51 years age... teenage love/lust... Doing my best to honor the vow i made before God... Trying to see the good..
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
No marriage is always smooth .. A christian marriage will have bumps... i will always encourage folks to not be unequally yoked ... not everyone is as bullheaded,stubborn as me ...

simple for me... The husband is the head over the wife... younger generations dont stay the younger generation.

not just that... A lot others too. I clearly dont have time for all those demonic talk, tho I know demons exist and a lot happens in the spiritual realm. However, I pay less attention to them, knowing we have nothing in common. They can't defeat me, on and off the pitch.

This goes all the way back to the beginning - why would two professing Christians with very opposite beliefs be getting married in the first place? Any child would be able to recognize that that would only stand to cause serious problems in the relationship.

Thanks
However, does courtship answer the question completely? Perhaps it's a lead-and-lag situation...for peace to reign

Or, perhaps it's a matter of love for each other and love for God. I worship a mighty God, a powerful God, a sovereign God. Even if the wife and I have different worship styles, God works equally on the two of us to draw us to His righteousness. He doesn't need me to change her, nor her to change me, God is the potter and we are the clay. Neither my wife nor I is a potter to the clay of the other.
