this story...it really got to me. my mom tells me the same thing, that she wants me to meet an Adventist boy and end up with one because of the consequences of marrying outside the faith. and i never really thought about it that seriously, but after what happened with this marriage, it really got me thinking. thank you so much for posting such a story, i know that a lot of Adventist girls that read this will take in serious consideration of intermarrying.

Your story touched me so much. It brought back memories of when I was younger and my boilogical father used to abuse my mother right in front of me. I am now 15yrs old and I am still mentally scarred. I am so proud of you and I'm so happy that you have taken your children out of that environment. I will pray for you. God Bless

This is my worst nightmare! I would never want this to happen to me or anyone, i don't think it is something someone should go through.

I think it should also be recognized that abuse does exist in marriages where both are members of the SDA church. Not all "unequally yoked" marriages end in abuse as not all same SDA faith marriages are forever blissful. Believe me I have seen many SDA marriages end in divorce or separation. The key point is to recognize God's leading and direction whatever the professed faith of your potential mate. God will personally let one know how far to take all relationships and when to let them go, both in and out of the church. Please don't believe that because your potential mate is an SDA that you are guaranteed a happy marriage. Let God lead, and he will if we follow. He knows who the abusers are.

Egon Brazil - you can read the full story by typing the title in the "search" box in the upper left hand corner. Also, you can click on "articles" and look through the archives, possibly fast-forwardin to 8-02-08. This article impresses me with the importance of getting other people's opinions, especially parents, on who you date. Abusive people often isolate their partners, making it harder for them to get help.

The key point is to recognize God's leading and direction whatever the professed faith of your potential mate.

Please don't believe Cohiba Siglo II that because your potential mate is an SDA that you are guaranteed a happy marriage. Let God lead, and he will if we follow. He knows who the abusers are.
