Keeping Love Strong in a Mixed Faith Relationships 💖

Valentine’s Day is a reminder of the love and connection we share with our people, AND in a mixed faith relationship, it can be tricky.

This Valentine’s, let’s focus on ways to keep love strong despite faith transitions.

Here are a few ideas:

1. Celebrate What Unites You: Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love—find ways to focus on what connects you. Whether it’s shared memories, mutual values, or goals for the future, take time to cherish the things that unite you beyond faith.

2. Share Love Languages: Speak your persons love language, especially if your faith differences have created tension. Whether it’s physical touch, acts of service, words of affirmation, gifts, or quality time, showing love in the way they feel it most can bridge any divide.

3. Open a Heartfelt Conversation: Use this holiday as an opportunity for a positive, loving conversation. Ask open-ended questions that deepen your understanding of each other’s hearts and minds. “What makes you feel loved?” or “How can I show up better for you?”

4. Appreciate the Journey: Faith transitions may bring challenges, but they can also lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of one another. Take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come and celebrate the love that continues to carry you through.

This Valentine’s Day, celebrate the love that transcends differences. Relationships in mixed faith marriages can be challenging, but love is the common ground that can always bring you closer.

Wishing you a loving Valentine’s.
