Parenting in a spiritually mismatched home comes with some unique attributes. United parenting is often a considerable challenge when mom and dad do not hold similar views. Personal decision-making stems from our core beliefs. Obviously, when one parent holds a Biblical viewpoint and one does not, conflict can arise over seemingly simple parental decisions.
For example, has this happened to you?
Susie answers the phone and says, “Dad, it’s for you.”
Dad who is busy working in his home office calls back to Susie, “Tell them I’m not home.”
Mom, who is listening to this exchange, cringes and this question springs to her mind. Is my spouse teaching our child to lie?
Yikes, how does a believer handle this scenario?
I welcome your suggestions.
