Two perspectives. One marriage. A conversation worth having.
Here’s something funny about our marriage. My husband LOVES Halloween. Me? I’ve always questioned it.
As a Christian, I’ve heard Halloween called evil, the devil’s holiday, and something believers should avoid. And honestly, those thoughts have stuck with me.
But here’s the funny part: I’m the one questioning Halloween, yet I’m also the one excited to pull out the craft supplies and build something spooky! 😂
My husband sees Halloween differently. He sees creativity, laughter, family memories, and an opportunity to give our neighborhood something fun to enjoy.
And the more we build our little haunted house together, the more I understand what he means.
Because when I look around our yard, I don’t see evil.
I see homemade decorations, hours of crafting, giant monsters, and two people figuring out how to make something work with whatever supplies we have lying around.
I imagine kids laughing, parents smiling, and families making memories. Maybe a few screams, too! 👻
But my questions about faith haven’t disappeared.
The Bible warns against witchcraft, divination, and communicating with spirits (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). I take those warnings seriously.
But is building a pretend haunted house the same as participating in those practices?
That’s where the conversation gets interesting.
Romans 14 discusses how believers can have different convictions about certain days. It isn’t specifically about Halloween, but it reminds me that we won’t always see every tradition the same way.
My husband hasn’t changed my faith. He’s helped me see Halloween through a different lens.
I’m still learning, still asking questions, and still figuring out where I personally draw the line.
And I respect Christians who choose not to celebrate just as much as those who do.
Now, Let’s Couch Talk! 🛋️
If Halloween brings families together, makes kids smile, and creates memories, does its history still make it wrong for Christians to celebrate?
Does the meaning behind what we’re doing matter more than where a tradition began? Or are there certain traditions Christians should avoid altogether?
I’d genuinely love to hear both sides.
No judgment. No arguments. Just different perspectives and a good conversation. ❤️
