Love is Blind cast member Sara talks about having different values from Ben

On Love is Blind season 8 episode 12, Sara shared how her and Ben's different values were to impact them in the future. As viewers already know, Ben feels a strong connection and sense of community with the church meanwhile Sara is not that religious. Sara explained that she was not against Ben going to the church but couldn't say the same for herself. For the Love is Blind cast member, it was clear what the church's stance regarding her values was, Sara explained:

"I'm more progressive and that's like hard for me to stand by. I wouldn't want a church to create conflict between me and you, or me and you and our kids, or me and you and our family. I don't want that to cause a division. It overall should be a very positive influence."

Sara continued stating that her and Ben's different views towards religion shouldn't cause a divide but rather have a "positive influence" on their lives. The Love is Blind star said that she would attend service during holidays, Sara continued:

"Obviously, listening to their service gave me a good outlook on what their stance is. And I would hate to say 'I'll never go again' that's probably not true. I probably would go again for a holiday or like something with your family."

Upon hearing this Ben clarified that if religion was something where he felt fulfillment, it doesn't have to be the exact thing for Sara too. Ben stated he was open to exploring what would make them feel the same way in the future. He further mentioned his stance on their differing opinions and values, stating he was okay with Sara not feeling the same way about going to Church as he does.
