Spiritually Unequal Marriage

When I got up to return home, I pulled out a cigarette and lit it. I took 1-2 puffs of the cigarette when I heard the Lord speak to me saying “put out that cigarette”. I did not immediately obey His voice, but rather I began to argue with Him. I remember thinking that it…

I came to accept Jesus Christ into my live as my personal Lord and Savior on March 24, 2004. This is the story of the events leading up to my conversion. I was raised in a Christian family where both my parents were firm believers. We attended a variety of Protestant Churches as I grew…

One day, as I was heading to work, he wasn’t feeling well, and we chatted briefly. I don’t remember anything unusual happening, but my husband told me later that he had seen the love of God in my eyes-something he wanted. While at work, I felt led to send him an email. We had been…

When my husband and I got married, we were both unbelievers. As a blended family with six children, our marriage was quite difficult and we were not very happy. About five years into the marriage, I gave my life to Jesus. How this happened is another story, but suffice it to say, my life changed…

It is a privilege to introduce two guest writers to Spiritually Unequal Marriage: George and MaryLu Tyndall. George and MaryLu lived for many years in a spiritually mismatched marriage.

By Dineen A. Miller It was 2 a.m., and I was tired. What I’d thought would be a simple disagreement had turned into a two-hour discussion. Yet despite our attempts to find common ground, something we’d usually accomplished quite easily, my husband and I still hadn’t found a solution. I sensed something deeper stirring the…

You are not alone I felt alone in my struggle in the early years. Attending church by my self was painful. Bitterness would rear its head on a Sunday morning when I left the house for church without my husband. Habitually, this feeling would erupt into a fight either before or after church. I also…

My prayer life ramped up. Earnest and persistent prayer was my lifeline. I held my husband in prayer asking our Great God for his salvation. I prayed for his protection from the enemy and asked the Lord to send Godly men into his life. I bathed him in prayer in every aspect of his life,…

I am interrupting my regular posts containing my story. I am compelled to comment on the Columnist, Harlan Cohen’s; May 3 subject entitled Interfaith couples can find happiness that appeared in our local newspaper, May 6. I found it interesting that a reader, describing herself as a 30-year-old Roman Catholic married to a Sunni Muslim,…

Control Freak? Who me? I was certain that it was entirely up to me to show this lost soul, I married, the way to salvation. What a blunder that way of thinking was. The day I finally gave my husband’s salvation over to Jesus and stopped trying to save him myself, is a day I…

For many years I placed my husband in the impossible roll of satisfying all the desires I had for love, acceptance and identity. I set him up and myself up for disappointment. My husband simply is unable to fulfill every longing of my heart. Why, because our Creator did not design men to be everything…
