dilemma

What do you do when there is an exceptional guy that wants to be your Knight in Shining Armor, and all that there’s missing is his belief in Christianity?

Some of these Knights in Shining Armor have an open heart and they are willing to learn without you compromising anything. The thing is, who says that they won’t make you compromise when you seal the deal with marriage?

I have seen some marriages that work and lead these men to Christ on a genuine level, but leading up to that point, how many scars did it have to take to get to that point? I have seen marriages that fall apart because the values between two sides conflict and evidently make the family crumble. I have also seen Christian marriages that do not work either and are more dysfunctional than most families.

I must admit, some non-Christian guys treat their significant others a hundred times better than Christian guys and ultimately make the women happier for the rest of their lives. 

So what’s the catch? There’s definitely a possibility for all of us to have a miserable marriage whether we avoid non-Christians or not.

We all know the answer to the problem: Choose wisely with God’s guidance and pray for your future spouse and avoid conflict if you can. I may sound a bit pessimistic, but really, its been an issue to many people I know, and let’s be honest here… its hard being a Christian woman, or a Christian man. The world is like a buffet, and if we don’t watch what we eat, we can probably lose our figure. 

The beautiful thing about being a Christian though is that you have this sense of peace that most people don’t have. The more and more I talk to non-believers, it never fails to amaze me how much I have to be thankful for. Life is even worse without God in the picture, and because of this I feel for my friends and have an urge to pray for them. If you can share that with your spouse and be at peace on a spiritual and worldly level, isn’t that worth the wait?

sigh… what a tricky life we live in.
