I'm a former Christian who is married to a Christian woman. My wife and I have a wonderful relationship and we're very happy together. Fortunately my wife, although she believes that Jesus is God, does not try to change me or force me to think any differently than I currently do. She knows how I feel about Christianity, and religion in general, and still she never acts like some Christians do - cursing me to hell and all that mumbo-jumbo dogma that the religion promotes. She's even dropped a lot of her former fundamentalism in favor of a harmonious relationship with her husband. She witnessed my de-conversion from theism, my brief bout with atheism, and my transformation into an open-minded man. I 'allow' her belief, and she 'allows' mine, without either of us trying to coerce or manipulate the other. It was not an easy transition, and I acknowledge things like maturity and personality when considering our respective evolutionary thought processes. I'm glad we landed where we are now, and I'm so in love with my sweet wife - religion and all.
Thanks for reading
Anyone else here "unequally yoked"? Care to share your story?
I am also “unequally yoked” to a woman (26th anniversary in August 2014) who thinks she is a Christian because that’s what her parents told her she is. She rarely discusses religion with me because she is afraid of the possibility that I am right, and she “can’t bear to imagine that she will never see her parents again after they die”.
However, my real “unequally yoked” story involves a former business partner (a “devout” christian), who tried to screw me every way possible after he found out that I was an atheist. Mind you, he was the one who vowed that we would never have a “nigger” working in our company, and he boasted about swindling little old ladies (members of his church, no less) out of thousands of dollars, all in the interest of “profit”.
One of the happiest days of my life was the day I sold him my half of the company.
