Thirding what NTELEKT said!
Rrraaa, let's bring this topic BACK to where the author placed it.
IMHO, I thought to be equally "yoked" also meant in OTHER aspects of livelyhood as well besides the commonly referred to religious application. I can remember almost like it was yesterday that my former fiancee's mother said this to me:<b>"Look son, even if you don't marry my daughter in the near future, don't you EVER, EVER, EVER contemplate marrying someone who is outside of education. I've been married for over 38 years to a non-educated/army graduated man who could NEVER ever understand my thoughts, desires (for advancement), ... He seemingly held me back @ times because he couldn't understand my vision of sorts. You seem to be very driven and if you do otherwise, you'll find yourself w/ someone who will literally hold you back in life."</b> That woman was wise beyond her years and constantly emphasized her love for her husband until his departure. She gave me numerous instances and examples of her own friendsets and kinships that were flawed. I listened. Her wisdom astounds me to this very day. She cited an example where even something as simple as a corp function that I may attend in the future w/ my wife and how out of place she could literally feel when me and the geeks and their geek wives start talking about college life, education in general, stocks, 401K stats, ...
As bad as I wanted to return to Buck-BoHank, Texas to get my wife (fully domestic, willing to be 101% overly submissive to my desires and a puppet of sorts, barely graduated high school, willing to have 8 kids @ the drop of a dime), I couldn't. My aspirations and desires may have been quite opposite of hers.
My .02.
