We do not go looking for columns like this, but it did come across our desk and in need of a response on multiple levels to teach Christians at large the truth of the matter. These advisory columns usually have the backing of some psychologist or other degreed person who are to be experts. And this is a perfect example of why we cannot trust any "science" person no matter what their degree happens to be. Even those that claim to have a Christian background are trained in the brainwashing of society. We follow God and not the supposed experts. This supposed expert attacked the conviction of the newly found faith observer, in this case, being a woman. Though the article was not specific in the religious background, the woman was following a principle: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). The man, being an atheist, would find no way to agree with the woman, especially in rearing children. And what union can there really be when one is living a completely separate life from their spouse? The woman's hands are tied. It obviously is not something she is doing on a whim. And that goes for denominational lines as well, though so few Christians practice it. How can a Catholic and a Baptist get married and have kids?, just as an example. Do they baptize the baby with sprinkling or wait for the child to grow up to a teen to make their own decision? Do they pray to Mary and the saints and keep holidays or not? God says to not be unequally tied together! So, when the expert said to the atheist, "Can you trust her not to make any more major life changes that result in her saying 'Do what I want or it’s over'”, this is so far off the proper advice. It is not "what I want" as it is a practice handed down by God. She wants to obey God in every aspect including and especially in getting married. The atheist needs to take it up with God and not the woman and not even seek advice from another human despite how much of an expert they are.
