Do the both of you observe either Levitical or Kosher dietary laws?

What happens if you slip up either accidentally or through weakness?

What happens if you are a guest and you are only served food items that aren’t on your approved foods list?

I don't eat the animals that the Lord said not to eat. That's pretty much the extent of the Lord's law in scripture.

Accidents do happen occasionally. When I realize that I've accidentally eaten something then I privately ask for forgiveness, although it's probably not necessary because I'm sure the Lord realizes it's an accident.

Weakness is never an issue. I don't have any desire to eat these things. When I first started keeping the Lord's food laws the hardest part was overcoming habit, not desire.

What happens if you are a guest and you are only served food items that aren’t on your approved foods list?

It's rare that ONLY meat is served. On occasion I have been served pork, shellfish or whatever with our meals. How we handle it is just to skip the meat and eat everything else. I don't make a big scene out of it. Rarely does anyone know that anything is "wrong" and I won't say anything unless someone asks. If they do ask, I'll say I don't eat pork (or whatever) for religious reasons. If they want more of an explanation I'll explain it to them a little more deeply. Mostly people are just curious and in effect it's not much different from how a vegetarian would handle it.
