Are You Compromising Yourself For Someone Else - Are You Equally Yoked?

Are you compromising your values to be with someone who doesn't share your same values? Don't allow emotion or passion bind you with someone who does not meet YOUR values. You need to disconnect from this type of toxic relationship before it cause heart ache or worse yet heart break.


Another person told me that this sounds like you could lose unwanted weight by doing this. My response was sometimes weight loss is good. This principle is biblical "be ye not unequally yoked". In those days the yoke or wooden collar would be placed around the necks of two "equally" sized oxen so that they could pull the load "equally" and "smoothly". But, if you tried to pair an oxen and donkey, two obviously different and unequally sized mammals. You have created the situation of being "unequally" yoked. Why? I am glad you asked, obviously because of their differences of strengths, vision, size and strides to move ahead the "yoke" will weigh heavily on one animal while choking the other. In other words it will painfully drag the other along by the neck! So, in essence lose the donkey aka the jack a** or as you so eloquently put it the unwanted weight.
