So today we were sitting around with the girl mentors and some random supervisor who I didn't really know and we were talking about relationships and stuff. One of the mentors said that she wouldn't even consider dating someone who wasn't a Christian... or something to that effect. I've always held that to a really high level when I think of the man I'm gonna marry and stuff, but normally when I tell people that, even Christian friends, they think it's the oddest thing. I'm the same as this mentor, I don't even want to consider dating someone who isn't a Christian, but it totally took me by surprise when she had said that.
Most of my Christian friends don't think that their future husband or wife's faith is of big importance. To me, it is. When you get married, and you marry a non-Christian, it completely effects the whole dynamics of your marriage. You can't really talk about your faith with your partner, depending on how he or she sees the religion. And if you happen to be having some big spiritual growth, problems, changes, etc. you can't really talk to your partner about it because they can't relate with you. You should be able to relate with your husband/wife in every way, and for me, religion will be a big one.
Anyway, that's one thing I got from today. I'm, oddly, exhausted. Probably due to the long wait for lunch seeing as I had dining hall today. lol, jk. I love dinning hall. But I'm probably gonna go to bed now.
In Him,
Maddie
