multicultural societies - peoples of the same de facto
‘Civil Identity' marrying one another for reasons of
good self-esteem, religious beliefs, and preserving the
integrity of their family identity – expressly for
abiding in social mores and therefore community
(psychosocial) health.(4)

10. Dyadic PsychologyDyadic Psychology
• Equallyokedtarians are of interest to social
psychologists because they represent a dyadic
group of the same ‘Civil identity.’ (8)
• Couples who primarily choose to bond and marry
together ‘because’ they are the ‘same’ or ‘very
similar’ Civil Identities, among other reasons,
may contribute to marital longevity -staying
together for a lifetime as.. evidenced.(9)
• The measured ‘self esteem’ of individuals of a
marital couple who marries with backgrounds
related to their own ‘Civil Identities’ are worthy
marital satisfaction studies as well.(10)

“Equallyokedtarians” are those couples - who are
‘equally yoked’ - yet having varying points of
views* about their …….a marriage relationship:
* “Liberals” - a couple marrying one another while
sharing in vague beliefs, i.e., explained as the
same ‘spirit’ or attitude about some issue.
* “Moderates” - marrying one another r/t ‘very
similar’ civil identities-close enough for them.
* “Conservatives” - marriage between two people
who share the same or fairly ‘equal’ ‘Civil
Identities’.(11)

equallyokedtarianism as a social mores and yet for
their own ulterior motives still choose to violate
social mores as an rash option.”(12)
• “Unequallyoked – Couples who are naïve, thus
they inadvertently demonstrate opposition to
equallyokedtarianism-as a social mores.” (ibid)
• “Anti-equallyoked – Couples who are a bit
mentally/ emotionally disturbed and are

14. WhyWhy “Equally Yoked”?“Equally Yoked”?
• “Motives - a couple who are ‘equallyoked’ may do so
for a variety of reasons-some of which include:
– Beliefs about life, self-image, truth and God, death, etc.
– Bonding for long term love, romance, and sex.
– Marriage, family/children, and financial goals.
• Self esteem – individuals with a clear sense of self-marrying
someone of a ‘like’ civil identity.
• Family identity – to maintain the integrity and the
longevity of the extended family identity.
• Social mores – a preserved cultural standard in a
multicultural society for the sake of community health.” (13f)

15. The “Equally Yoked” are HappierThe “Equally Yoked” are Happier
A multiplicity of studies – both formal and casual
survey’s have proven that ‘equally yoked’ couples are
happier. (12a)
A few of the reasons ‘equally yoked couples
are happier than alternative coupleships are because:
1. First, equally yoked couples decide to make a
‘choice’ to be ‘equally yoked’ and then they follow thru
with enjoining themselves together into it.
2. Second, equaly yoked couples – as individuals,
make a conscious choice to ‘be happy’ within their
coupleship.
3. Thirdly, equally yoked couples tend to focus on
the ‘little things’ in their coupleship and life to ‘be happy’
