Secrets To An Interfaith Relationship

Not sure how this ended up in my browser this morning. Must have been something clicked from my RSS reader. Still, it's an interesting short read about something that has interested me from time to time.

Necro-comment on an old post!

This is a tough subject. Spoken as a Christian, I don't know how I'd make my marriage work with a non-Christian. Really, two things get in the way, but they are pretty major. First, the enjoyment of good times, as a Christian, is easier, because we can believe that God is in control and that we can enjoy the times which are blessings without fear of balancing them out with Bad Stuff, like a Kharmic or balance approach would see.

The other part is how we deal with things when they are not going well... Christians aren't perfect, but our belief system dictates that our transgressions are forgiven already. It changes our approach to patching things up, as it's not so much of an apology, rather than an acceptance of being human, but being pre-forgiven for what we do in God's eyes. It allows us to live our lives well, without being bogged down with guilt, and at the same time, experiencing a love that helps us love more unconditionally.
