she hung around hoes, thieves and girls with self esteem to match my gas tank.
and i'm sitting here now trying to figure out if they were equally yoked.
she said we could never be because our religions didn't match.
i understood.
she gave me the rundown off the eggs and the stuff inside.
i put up an argument, but it fell on deaf ears, so i understood and moved on.
and today - years after the muted argument, struggles and my egg being thrown in the river - it hit me:
grab the bible and check it out.
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
and the very moment i read it was the very moment i realized that ignorance is definitely bliss.
had i never read that, i wouldn't have to question anything. i could let shit slide.
but i can't now.
truth: our religious views weren't eye-to-eye. but we were working hard on everything else, and drastic changes had been made for the coming construction of our foundation.
after reading, i've decided that - of course - this passage could be used when speaking of marriage and lovers in general, but this passage could also be used for all relationships...correct?
when a woman of righteousness is the only righteous wanderer among five heathens, what should happen? do they get equally dismissed?
sidenote: going to church doesn't make you a christian - just as going to a garage doesn't make you a car.
her prophet and my prophet are strangers, but we knew each other well.
but she found the impossibility in it.
so where does the line get drawn?
because, as most of us know, friends are often more influential than a lover.
therefore friends and lovers should be picked and weeded equally...correct?
i could be completely wrong about all of this.
well, not all of it.
but some.
so if you find flaws in my words, please feel free to point them out.

thanks folks.

That scripture is for every relationship, not just for marriage/lover, all should be decided equally, so I would agree that one should use the same scrutiny on every person you allow in your life.
