Yoked

If you've been in both an unequally yoked relationship and a "yoked" one, (is that even a real word...lol)....you can feel how remarkable the difference is. I used to wonder if it really mattered all that much, I no longer wonder…believe me, it matters.


When you’re on the same page spiritually, you come together for all the right reasons. You’re not trading in the other good things, love, passion, zeal, comfort, friendship, you’re just more equipped to have a forever marriage. You tend to work on things differently, you put your faith into the same God so the understanding between the two of you is cosmic. You build a connection based on something solid, a foundation built on higher ground. You seek affirmations from the same source, you know when and how to lift your spouse up, when your spouse needs prayer, and you know how to pray for one another. You pray together, which is absolutely the closest thing two people can share, you’re bare in the most intimate way,

I believe there is more than one reason God calls for us to be equally yoked, not only because one can pull the other one away from God…I think it’s because He knows the strength your relationship will have if you both allow Him to guide it. He knows how victorious you will be as a couple. In this day, the day of divorce…more people need to be champions in their marriage. I found equally yoked…I really wanted it and I would have stayed alone if I couldn’t have found it. I owe finding the love of my life to God and I’m thankful beyond measure.
