Unequally Yoked
This is for all those with a religious twist to their lives. There are a couple of possibilities here: 1) You are a Christian and he/she is a Muslim, 2) You are a devout Christian and he/she is a Backslider, and 3) You are confused and he/she is Agnostic. Although many of us may not admit it, spirituality is at the pinnacle of most of our lives. This word is often lightly tossed around, but I just want to share a few points to ponder. Spirituality is simply representative of your innermost thoughts, heart, and mind. A lot of people watch and seek some deep experience or movement. This may or may not happen. Now, get this point: If there are two different religious beliefs, the two of you MUST agree on one belief system before marriage. If there are two differing forms of religious thoughts, there will most likely be division and chaos in that home. Next, if you are further along in your spiritual walk or awareness than your LOVE interest, run! The only thing that could possibly happen, to you, is spiritual retardation. And finally, if you believe in GOD but are a little delayed in your learning or understanding, it is important that you do not get engaged. He or she may change your mind on your path to enlightenment. The main issue here will be future unhappiness. When you are unequally yoked spiritually, a number of things can occur. The outcome could be critical and nasty. Therefore, always ask those questions in the beginning. Also, remember that by age fifteen, personalities and beliefs are pretty much set. Please, whatever you do, do not go changing for a man or woman. It will not return positive in the long-run.
Four Soul-Stirring Questions to Ask:
- Are you a believer?
- Who, if anyone, do you believe in at this time?
- How do you express your beliefs?
- How important is religion to you?
- Do you come from a religious family? What Kind (AME, COGIC, BAPTIST, etc)?
