It is amazing how the words of the Bible are not only theological, but practical. 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 says “Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? “ (NASB)

I just finished a conversation with a friend about the difficulties of her friend with an unbelieving husband. They argue about it constantly. I think you see more women than men marry unbelievers, maybe because they think they can change them. But it always seems to lead to difficulty and sorrow. As one spouse wants to grow in faith and share that, the other spouse is more threatened and belligerent in opposition. Often, both end up unhappy, with unhappy children. So, pay attention! If God says it, it is for a reason. And that reason is that he knows best and wants the best for you. Trust and obey, for there is no other way.
