There is a deeper spiritual reality to being unequally yoked…it’s called compromise. Not only here, but earlier in his first letter to the Church in Corinth, Paul addresses the idea of not being associated with someone thought to be a Christian, but whose life openly contradicts the faith. “You must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.” (I Corinthians 5:11) The reason being, that when we are paired together but incompatible ethically & morally there will come times when concessions will need to be made…situations where significant control over actions will have to be worked out…with one party yielding to the other. And the decisions made may not be anything the Believer is comfortable with…putting himself, his reputation & integrity in jeopardy and influencing his own moral & spiritual wellbeing.
