“For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.” -1 Corinthians 7:14
What happens when one spouse discovers Orthodoxy after the couple is already married?
In this episode of Veiled in Grace, Anna and Kyra sit down with Matt to hear a very different marriage story.
Unlike Nathan, who grew up Orthodox, Matt came to Orthodoxy after he and Anna were already married. His journey meant that faith, marriage, family, and spiritual life all began to intersect in a new way.
We talk about what it was like for Matt to encounter Orthodoxy, how conversion affected their marriage, what it was like navigating differences in faith, and what he wishes he had understood earlier.
We also talk about the practical side of living out your faith as a married couple—prayer, raising children, attending church, supporting one another, and learning how to walk together when your spiritual journeys don't always happen at the same pace.
This isn't a story about having a perfect marriage or a perfect conversion. It's a conversation about patience, love, humility, and allowing God to work in His own time.
Whether you're already Orthodox, married to someone who is exploring Orthodoxy, or simply curious about what happens when faith changes within a marriage, we hope this conversation encourages you.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
