The perfect place for me to start discussing this topic is with my own marriage. Mr. Sparrow (aka Danzig) and I have been married for four years. We have no children at this time.
Danzig is a third generation American. His great-grandparents came to the United States from Poland and brought their beliefs with them. While they openly practiced Catholicism, they practiced Witchcraft from their home country in secret. Danzig had the pleasure of learning from his great-grandmother before she passed away.
I was raised in a Protestant family that has been in America for generations. My lineage can be traced mostly back to Norway (yay Vikings!) on my Dad’s side, but I have some family that originated in Wales and Germany. Religion was not consistently a big deal in our home growing up unless my Grandmother, who is Baptist, was around. I was programmed from a young age that Witchcraft was Evil and that anyone not saved by Jesus Christ was going to Hell. Oh, how far I have come!
When I met Danzig in 2004, I was coming out of what turned out to be the darkest time of my life. I was furious at everyone, especially myself. I didn’t know what to believe and had pretty much shunned Christianity. There was a gaping hole in my heart that begged to be filled.
Little by little, Danzig introduced me to his Earth-based path. I soaked the information up like a sponge, quickly beginning my own research into the various practices and paths. He taught me how to meditate, how to cast a circle, and the basics of protection magick. He is the one who laid the foundation for my future as a Pagan and Witch.
That being said, I have a unique and wonderful spiritual relationship with Deity that includes my husband. We each have our own path, but are respectful of the other’s beliefs and work together to honor the Divine.
Next week I will share some ideas of how couples can practice their spirituality together and grow closer in doing so. Be sure to stop by my blog, The Balanced Witch, to check out the “366 Days of Magick” that is going on all this year. I also have a giveaway going on now!

How wonderful that you and your husband can share similar spiritual beliefs and practice.
I love the story about you and your husband. It always amazes me how people come into our lives to give us guidance. It is also special how you can share your beliefs yet also allow each to follow their own. Proof of a strong relationship. I look forward to hearing more from your posts to come
We share the Viking blood, Sparrow :) I think the Goddess was truly watching out for you and brought you together with Danzig to make both of your magick stronger and for healing. Thank you for the beautiful post.
Nice post.
I think you have found a kindred spirit .

You are so blessed to have met Danzig & hem you. It is interesting to me too, that he was the pagan showing you a new path. Frequently it is just the opposite. I am glad you have found such a wonderful relationship with your husband & your spirituality.
Isn't it nice to live in a world where you don't have to practice one religion in the open and another in secret... well .... to some degree of course.! hehe
My name is Selma Espinosa I'm a 46 years old mother with 3 adorable kids and I have been married for 17 years now. After the birth of our last daughter 2 years ago, I noticed something about my husband that was completely different. He comes home late every night, sleeps on the couch never in the bedroom with me and doesn't give attention to me or the kids. I remember the night he came home drunk and told me he was no longer attracted to me after I had kids.
I cried myself to sleep that night, I could not believe that the man I have loved all my life will someday stopped loving me. Just few days to our wedding anniversary, he stopped coming home and would not take my calls. I had to talk to a friend and she suggested I contact a spell caster who could help me bring back his love and attention. It was the first time I heard such stuff existed, I give it a try with high expectations. After my contact with the Priest spellcaster, he helped me cast a spell that made my husband return home to me and our kids. I know a lot of people need this to help them stay happy in their marriages. You can contact Priest Obongibok let him help you; write him on email OBONGIBOK@PRIEST.COM or WhatsApp +13612367973.
