In Genesis 24:3, Abraham did not want his son to marry a woman who did not love the Lord, so he sent his servant 450 miles away to find one that did. Christians are free to marry, 1 Corinthians 7:39, “only in the Lord.” Second Corinthians 6 clearly teaches that we are “not [to] be bound together with unbelievers.” Paul goes on to say, “For what partnership have…light with darkness or…Christ with [Satan], or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?” (2 Cor. 6:14-16). Why date someone who hates your Savior? Why marry someone with whom you cannot prioritize Jesus? These sinful and unequally yoked relationships only lead to temptation and heartache either during the breakup or throughout a lifetime of marriage. Yet when both partners can find their ultimate needs met in Jesus Christ (and not human idols), they will be free to be companions and not consumers of each other and their lifetime together will be one of joy and harmony.
