My wife and I are equally yoked, we always have been. Even though when we were married we were both unbelievers and now we are Christians.

Our yolks are so equal... we are like an omelet.

It's awesome having a wife that is such a good mom, beautiful and energetic, yet also a staunch conservative Christian with old fashioned values.

 

[kmoney]

Omelet. :chuckle:

:chew:

 

[Nang]

I am married but it isn't serious . . .

 

[Granite]

My wife and I are remarkably compatible. Sorry I don't have anything more interesting to report...:idunno:

 

[Stripe]

Unequal yoke makes Christians go backwards. Don't do it. :nono:

Are you still a Satanist? I just noticed you changed your designation.
If so, what does she feel about that?

If not, did you change because of her? :chuckle:

I did change it, yes. She wasn't fazed by that when we met but I didn't change that (directly) because of her.

 

[elohiym]

My wife is awesome! :cloud9:

We are equally yoked.

I got exactly the person I prayed for. Thank you, LORD!

We are opposites in personality. She has to talk to everybody. I don't say anything unless it is worth saying. Except when I get carried away about things that don't matter.

As for ideals, we were close. Now I have her convinced. :reals:

Did you convince her through a lot of name-calling and degrading comments?

[taikoo]

My boyfriend is what he calls a "recovering catholic" and his term for me is jack-buddhist.

And we are from opposite sides of the world.

I couldnt ask for a better companion.

Mrs Duck is very spiritual, strongly believes in God, and is pro-life. We disagree on those points, among others.

We do agree, however, that she makes all the decisions, so she doesn't mind if I vent my opposing views on TOL

Seriously, I think we both learn from each other and compliment each other. It prevents either of us from going off the deep end. There are some issues regarding how we educate our kids on these matters, and we have quietly agreed to each give their side of the story while keeping it somewhat hazy or open ended and letting the kids decide for themselves when they're a bit older. Being exposed to different viewpoints is a good thing IMO.

Did she have those opposing views when you met and starting our relationship? Or did she become spiritual and pro-life after it started?

 

[Ktoyou]

Both of us in Christ. What else matters?

 

[TomO]

Are you married to somebody who has a different religious, philosophical, or political, world view?

No lain:

I only do that to perverts that have been shown the truth.

Is her name Deborah?

:think: Well...my wife is the uber type A in the family and a die hard liberal who laughs her keyster off every time someone around here tries to paint me into that corner...but we're both Christian. While unconvinced when we met, I think she realized quickly enough that marrying me would require God's help and a real understanding of mercy.

Mostly I make her laugh...mostly when I mean to. And she keeps me from losing everything that isn't attached. So it's a win/win.
