Admin	re: the importance of being 'equally yoked' Posted : 12 Mar, 2011 01:56 AM In a relationship where two people are sharing the same home, the same bed, the same kids (LOL) etc... you MUST be able to pray together, wage spiritual warfare together, present a unified message to your children together, etc. We can all have -- and should have -- non-believing friends. But hanging with one at a movie and sharing one's life with one are entirely different orders. Post Reply

Whenever you're 'yoked' to another, you need to be going in the same direction. Oh it's no guarantee, but it does increase the odds in your favor. Post Reply

A marriage is over before it's begun if one is truly a believer and one is not. Be sure! My ex told me he was but I soon realized it was simply to get me to marry him. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Post Reply

This world is full of challenges that the idea of spending my life with someone who does not go to God for help scares me to bits!!! :-) And as woman how would I expect a man to love me unconditionally if he doesn't have a great relationship with Christ: who teaches us how to love unconditionally!

I feel it's important to be equally "YOKED" inside your faith, i.e. if my wife attends church 5 times a week, does bible study w the kids n prays everyday and I however, ONLY attend service 3-4 times a month (and base that on what sports games are on), study w the kids once in a while, and pray occasionally, then aside from us both being believers, we are still both "UN" equally yoked:laugh: Post Reply

It's not good to be in a relationship with someone who is "unequally yoked" nowadays. I have met some girls who are in that category,& out of a few,I'm still friends with one of them. To tell you the truth,I was interested in her a time back,& I thought about it carefully,& realized that I would have been digging up my own grave,because she likes to curse a lot & makes fun of me for abstaining from fornication. I tell you,the idea of me going to church & she would not. Want to unless she's "in the mood" & don't like to read the Bible unless she's looking for a verse & to top it all off doesn't want children,made me change my from her completely! Post Reply
