Finding a spouse goes beyond physical attraction and involves finding a spiritual partner.
To ensure spiritual compatibility, it’s crucial to be proactive in your spiritual growth together. This is important regardless of the customs and traditions of your faith, whether you’re Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or from any other religion.
In marriages where partners come from different faiths, it’s essential to respect and honor each other’s traditions, without letting go of your own. This can lead to a more enriching experience as both partners learn from each other’s cultures and upbringings.
For example, my husband Steve was raised Catholic, and I grew up in a non-Catholic household. Despite our different backgrounds, we have the same ultimate goals. We certainly have enriched each other’s spirituality with the different traditions and cultures of our upbringings.
I visualize marriage as a triangle, where the spouses are on opposite points and the Higher Power in the middle. As couples draw closer to God, they are also drawn closer to each other.
Similarly, when couples strengthen their bond, they both move closer to God.
This is the essence of spiritual compatibility in marriage.
