How important are your spiritual beliefs in your search for a mate?
Posted: 10/28/2007 9:54:52 PM | | Wow! I've never responded to these questions but...this time...I just feel led to share. From my own personal experience and relationship with the Lord...I would strongly suggest finding a partner who is "on the same page" with you spiritually. They call it being "equally yoked". It is HUGE! I was married 20 yrs. and we were not equally yoked and you see where I am now. Just imagine raising children when one parent is reading devotions every day and trying to teach little ones about the Lord, values, morals etc. and the other parent has no part and is not even supportive of what you're trying to teach them. Also, the other parent could be doing things that go against what you believe should be done due to your morals, values and spiritual beliefs. Just imagine how complicated and difficult this can be. It usually leads to resentment or the two people putting more and more distance between them. How can a relationship last like that? Didn't mean to go on and on so much ... but ... I've been there and I feel it's huge to find a partner that has the same beliefs. If there is any way I could help one person understand the importance of this "issue" and save them one day of heartache...then I'd feel my negative life experience in this area had brought some positive "aftermath". Good luck and God Bless! | | | |
