“How can you guys handle having lefty spouses?”
My hubby and I have been married 31 years. I am Jewish and
he was raised Catholic. On one of our very first dates, he
asked if I would answer him honestly about a very serious
philosophical question. I was nervous but I agreed to be
completely honest.
He asked me about my political leanings. “Oy”, I said to myself. We live in Massachusetts, so here comes the end of
what seemed to be a nice relationship. I swallowed and replied, “Republican - strongly republican”. (Keep in mind
this was during the Reagan years and republican wasn’t the uniparty it is today).
His reply, “Excellent!! Great news! So am I and we both know
mixed relationships don’t work!” So 31 years, two wonderful children and two grandbabies later here we are.
We both miss the Reagan GOP though.
I would think one being a Christian and one being Jewish would be more of a concern than ones political persuasion. After all, it comes down to salvation which is very important to the soul.
A Christian will tell a Jew that unless you accept Christ you will perish, where as a Jew will say unless you are Jewish you will perish.
Sounds more important than politics.
How has that worked out for you and your descendants so far?
After all, it does matter to God. You need to be one or the other, and only one can be right.
Your thoughts?
