“Be not unequally yoke” 2 Cor 6:14. this verse has many applications. Marriage is one of them. If you have been in church long enough, you should know that not all married couples are happily married even if they are both believers. However, marrying a non-believer is one more if not a greater hurdle to cross or overcome.

Throughout OT, God has commanded Israelites not to marry gentiles because they will lead them away from God. David, Solomon, Samson and the list goes on, these are godly people who violated the commandment and pay the price.

Is not about morals (holier-than-thou-art-attitude) but spiritual positions. Paul in the above verse was telling the people not to put the yoke on two different type of animals when plouging the field because they have different height, strength, temper etc. In short, it dosent work.

Pray over it.

Wow! A Christian blog from Singapore…how cool! I’d just never looked until last night…

I’d add to the prior answer, all of chapter 7 (of 1 cor). See esp vs 39. While the above verses are good to keep in mind, the context also assumes an already-married couple, w/ one of them finding Jesus. Obviously, that’s the opposite of your situation.

Besides that, Malachi 2 also mentions godly marriage & kids, (esp vs 13-16).

Hi there! Here’s your answer mate:

“If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.
And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, let her not send her husband away.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.”

1Cor 7:12-14

Paul’s letter to the Corinthians tells a great deal about everyday living and our relationships with one another from the nucleus of family to the community to the world.
