| Topic: Unevenly yoked... | |

Hello, I'm jamie. I got married to an atheist. I never thought it would be an issue because I respected her decision and assumed she would respect mine. Well, we started talking about children and I expressed my desire to expose them to God and the church. That changed everything. She left me. I learned, after reading the Bible, that we were unevenly yoked. I learned first hand that it just doesn't work. I wish I had read the bible sooner. But having regrets isn't my style. So now I am looking for a believer who will respect, maybe even love, the fact that God comes first in my life. Do you serve God? Are you also looking for an honest and friendly person to share your life with? Email me and let's get to know one another. I'm 28 and full of life! Let's get to know each other!

Im sure that if you make it known you are seeking equally God fearing partners, you will make many friends who can relate to your priorities for your (and your childrens) life |

Good luck on your search.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. At least that is what I had to do. God helped me to solve the contradiction of putting sobriety or God first. James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Same God. 
Psalm 48:14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.

Hang in there brother, You made a choice for Christ, and that's a good thing. If The Lord is with you, It will turn out for good no matter how it looks from this point. Remember... + + + Romans 8:28 + + + I live by this verse. Please stay on your knees about it. He will direct you from here. Jesus Christ is Lord! |

She left you because of THAT!? 
Who knew that was such a big deal. |

She was a self-proclaimed atheist but really what she was, was anti-theist. She was intolerant of my beliefs. Jesus said that a house divided against itself will not stand. I thought our different views could be used to enhance our children's ability to make informed decisions for themselves. She though it would inevitably lead our children to taking my side and challenging her beliefs. She didn't want that kind of dischord in a homne.
In first Corinthians we are told to let the unbelieves depart and it was still hard to watch her go. Even though I am not bound to her, I pray that she will find happiness. Happiness I find only in God. Glory be to God! |

I too am a believer. and I applaud you :) I too was with a man that was not for me... He was from Africa and wanted to use me to get His papers. I thought that it was real and I ended up hurt. But I realized later that God has someone for me better and I am waiting for that person. It hurt because I put my soul into my marriage, but I loved him enough to let him go. And that's what mattered.I'm glad that I did, because I am free from all the emotional and mental abuse that came with him. God Bless you... Wait on God and you will be pleased with His choice for you.

I'm still not clear on this whole unequally yolked thing.
My ex and I are both Christian. We were both raised Catholic and we converted to Lutheran together. But there were things that have happened, like when I came home from Via de Cristo - her reaction was to involuntarily take two steps back from me. My mom says we were unequally yolked. I am not sure I agree with this assessment... Just what does that mean for two people to be unequally yolked that have the same "faith" |

I can't help but think of oxen when it comes to being yoked together. They used to call them teams. If one ox was pulling one way and the other ox was pulling the other way they weren't teamed together. If you compare the two words 'yoke' and 'yolk' it can make it even more confusing. I say this because there are double yolk eggs. The Bible gives the analogy of the house whereas a house divided against itself can not stand. We are supposed to be as gentle as doves and wise as serpents and not the other way around. I have met some couples who were as wise as doves and gentle as serpents. They were meant to be taken as analogies because we are supposed to be smarter than oxen, too.

I pray that you are able to come to an agreement with God's Word. |
