I do not believe there is a reason a believer should marry a non-believer if they knowingly are aware of their partner’s spiritual condition. However, if a couple is already married, I believe the believer in Christ should remain in that marriage faithfully.

There is the biblical mandate to be equally yoked (2 Cor. 6:14) in marriage. There is also a biblical mandate to remain married and pray for the salvation of an unbelieving spouse (1 Cor. 7:10-15) when there is a mismatch spiritually.

Great question. Thanks for asking.
Shane

Do you think God would ask a child of God NOW…Today…….. to marry and unbeliver..ie harlet – for the specific purpose of being a sign onto the world the way Gomer and Hosea were?
