Unequally Yoked is a term used in some churches about the marriage of two people who are not equally religious. The term is meant as a metaphor for discussing the specific difficulties of such a marriage from the church's viewpoint. It also carries rigid expectations about how "true" marriages should appear from the outside, and especially how gender plays into those heavy expectations.
