Ask Rev. Kev Your Questions Answered by Reverend Kevin E. Taylor, author of Unclutter Question 2: I'm a lesbian and a Christian. I've been dating a great woman who is fun, smart and I really enjoy her company. But she considers herself spiritual, not religious (she believes in God). Is it okay for me to continue seeing her or would we be "unevenly yoked." This is an excellent question. "Unevenly yoked" has troubled couples and relationships since the beginning of time. When we fall in love and decide to commit to a partner, we do so because we have things in common. We share likes and dislikes (the TRUE definition of lifestyle) intimately and find ourselves connected at various levels. In this day and age, with Lesbians and Gays becoming more and more connected to their relationships with God, we have to fully consider whether we are partnering with people who share our walk. I know that the journey to find someone you are feeling is hard sometimes, but where is God in your relationship? "Unevenly yoked" has destroyed many relationships, because in times of trouble and struggle, the "what do we do" can take on completely different angles. If you are praying and your partner is screaming about "DO SOMETHING" and you believe you did, then . . . well, you see my point? Sit with her and discuss, openly, fully and sincerely, what her "spirituality" looks like for her. She may desire something more than what she's expressing. Or, you may find that you and she are on completely different planets as it relates to God and you have to decide with a made-up-mind what you will do. Most couples wait until there is trouble in paradise before they discuss important issues. You should utilize this period now, where all is well, to have an intimate conversation with your partner about Who God Is and What God Means To You.
