The beautiful thing about growing your union with a lifetime partner in God is, He will always give you assurances, lots of it as time goes on that He is there in that relationship.

So, I stopped listening to my feelings and started following His leadings. People I respect have raised objections but God already said yes, they'll see it eventually.

There is nothing more annoying and frustrating than this.

If both parties believe in the birth, death, burial, resurrection of Jesus Christ and its implications, isn’t that middle ground enough?

Every other thing is secondary and can be learnt by the leading of the holyspirit.

After all we’re building a family and not a church, yeah?

My brother, this post definitely is a revelation. I encountered the same thing when I started dating my now fiancee, a pastor I hold in regard made me feel bad and lost that I was even considering leaving my church to move to his church when we get married. In her words”you want to leave your church” and I was like maam☹️. It is well.

I really feel this. It’s painful when something so personal and sacred like building a future with someone gets met with guilt or pressure especially from voices we respect. Sometimes, interpretation gets weaponised, and instead of offering wisdom, it brings confusion and fear. I’m glad you pushed through. May your union be rooted in freedom, grace, and divine clarity. It truly is well. 🙏🏾

Indeed you have said it all, I felt so much fear in my heart after the conversation and even started to doubt if I really heard from God about the relationship. Thank God for clarity and his love, Amen to your prayers.
