When one's religious beliefs are put aside or buried deep in one's mind, interfaith marriages do not really matter. So they say, marriage is tough and has its obstacles, so the question is why go through the additional burden of dealing with issues of faith and religion when looking for that special someone?
In my younger days the promise to myself was to not be unevenly yoked, so I married a Christian woman who is active in her faith, one that shares a similar worldview. We agree on issues of faith such as premartial sex, abortions, capital punishment, the name of God, ect... We both strive to accomplish the same spiritual goals. So I'm asking those who are of interfaith marriages or in a relationship, share your struggles or share how this makes little difference in your daily lives and what you have in common.
For Christians, what does it mean to not be unevenly yoked? If you were aware of this Scripture before meeting your spouse, how did you interpret or rationalize this Scripture in catering to yourselves in your Christian walk?
Sincerely,
Interfaith curious
