For Christians the main thing the Father requires when we are looking for a mate is that we are equally yoked. So what does it really mean to be equally yoked? Is it simply going to church, or having a love for God? I believe there are three areas that can prove if a couple is equally yoked or not. Here are 22 ways to tell if you and your partner are equally yoked:
- Your understanding, passion, and love of Jesus is similar.
- You both have a desire to grow and propel the other towards God.
- You both understand and agree that God should be first in each other’s lives.
- You both do not feel jealous about the other’s relationship with God (in fact you encourage it).
- You understand one another’s vision and the role that you play in the vision.
- You are committed to helping the other person become all God has called them to be.
- You both encourage and contend for righteous living in your decisions and choices.
- You have similar passions whether in ministry, career, or goals.
- You both have at least five similar core values about faith, family, finances, and your future.
- You both do not allow the other to settle, but use your strengths and gifts to push each other to become better.
- You can name at least three qualities in the other that you want to emulate.
- You understand each other’s weakness and you help correct and cover them.
- If courting or married, you can both convey clearly the mission and vision of your marriage.
- You encourage the other in there disciplines with God even if they are different from yours.
- You pray together.
- You attend supplemental spiritual, career, or marriage seminars and conferences together.
- You have a similar understanding of family and child rearing.
- You have a clear understanding of what it will take to help each other’s dreams come true.
- You worship God at home or in public together.
- You study the word of God and challenge each other in it.
- Your idea of success is similar.
- You both have a clear understanding of your roles in marriage and you can see how you both fit together.

Didn't have 12 or 22 and that will kill it EVERYTIME, great checklist, still some things are missing but great none the less.
Thank you Stephen ,I have a couple more to add which will be in my book.
I've been married for 12 years to the same man and we don't have any of this. It's really sad that according to toys checklist, we're not in the same anything. This is beyond weak
