Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted January 3, 2019 Moderators Posted January 3, 2019 See: https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50564946/couples-explain-why-interfaith-marriage-works/ This article comments on the marriage between a SDA and a Buddhist. It should be noted that when the marriage began, both were members of the Buddhist faith. At a later time, the woman became a SDA. phkrause 1 Quote Gregory
B/W Photodude Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 It is interesting that the couple were both Buddhist when they married but one converted and became a Christian. The article kept stressing that a Buddhist could marry whoever they wished. However, the Christian wife is doing just what Paul advocated in the New Testament by staying with her husband. It is almost a no brainer kind of situation. The story may have been more challenging if they were of different religions prior to marriage. Another situation that does not often get discussed are those who are divorced and unBiblically remarried and then become Christians. What then of their marriage? What if they are both "Christians" when they do the deed? Are they still married albeit it unBiblically? Is the "adultery" a sin of the moment or do they continue to live in sin and should divorce? Sin did bad things to marriage, like it did to so many other things.

pierrepaul Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 When two people agree on everything, it means only one of them is doing all the thinking. I married a SdA and there are tons of stuff on which we do not agree. The convenience of being of the same denomination is not sharing identical opinions, but rather sharing the common cultural trappings of Adventism - attending church as a family rather than each spouse going to his/her own church or none at all, some similarities in diet, etc. Quote God never said "Thou shalt not think".
