Equally Yoked-Cheaper To Keep Her

Many unhappy couples have thought it to be “easier” to stay married to their significant other just because they don’t want to have to pay for the divorce-from legal fees, to child support, to spousal support and so on. However is it really worth it?

This is why it is sooooo important to make sure you are married to someone you are equally yoked with. If you are with that other person just because you are attracted to them and it is convenient, what does that say in the long run?

We all hear about it on the news whether it’s a celebrity couple going through major trouble or hearing statistics on divorce and why people are choosing to stay married because of the recession.

If you are not married to the one you know, that you know, that you know God has shown you or somehow confirmed you are supposed to marry this person, don’t expect everything to automatically flip over and readjust to who you have chosen. 

Older people know how to pull back and listen and choose their spouses carefully, especially if they have been in long term relationships in the past. Younger people are quicker to get into a relationship and don’t have the patience to wait and pray for their wife or husband or if they are dating someone and want to see if that’s who they are supposed to be with. Some are so quick to get married that they bypass everything else and act based on a feeling, feeling like since they are both come from the same faith and are physically attracted to each other that the person must be the one.

When making a commitment like marriage, make sure you are doing it for the right reasons, not out of convenience or because you have a baby, and make sure you both pray, independently and together and seek a pastor, if you don’t already have one, and spend some time speaking with him and his wife.
