I understand. But when I realize that my core beliefs and principles are so unique it's highly unlikely anyone else in the world has them too. Maybe if someone understands my beliefs, doesn't necessarily agree with them at the moment but loves me anyway, who's to say she won't be changed to believe the same down the road?
I like what you said first. As for the bottom part, I'm not talking about starkly contrasted view that our live on different paths. I'm talking about a woman who is after God's heart but doesn't know she's going after the wrong one. Her core beliefs and principles are similar to mine, but I am aware that her god isn't the God she thinks. This woman is hypothetical by the way, just thought I'd throw that in there so no one gets confused!
I must confess: As it pertains to marriage, I feel that it shouldn't matter how religious someone is, as long as they are true to me and make me happy then it's suitable. The verse "it's better for a man to marry than to burn with passion" speaks volumes to me. I would rather marry an unbeliever than burn with passion in my singleness,..
