And most people stress the "unequally" part because that's easy to understand. I've learned that "yoke" actually was a piece of clothing that OT priest would wear around their neck with all their core beliefs. (like a long scarf) Jewish believers would learn the yoke of their priest and if their personal core beliefs didn't match up with the priest yoke they'd move on to a different priest whom they agreed with.

I agree with the marriage part...and partially about other relationships. However, there must be a stress on the truth that the closest relationships should not be unequally yolked. I say this, because as Christians, we face the tension (and call) to be sheep amongst wolves (how's THAT not unequally yolked)...which means there is a lifestyle that must be around, relate to, and thrive amongst the wolves. Dizziness and Disappearing are both ineffective. I’m not so sure the entirety of this advice/interpretation is valid. I agree with the marriage part…and partially about other relationships.
