Yoked Marriage Questions
Can you share advice and stories or wisdom about being in an unequally yoked marriage? For those of us who are Christian believers involved in marriages to a spouse who is unsaved and/or following another false religion.How do you cope with the spiritual divide?how do u gather courage and strength to witness to a spouse who may be hostile and angry to hear the word of God?How do you get over the feelings of spiritual lonliness how do you cope with your spouses other religion?What are some words of advice?????or experiences that you have had. I was unsaved when i met my husband,i followed his religion for the first year of marriage and then came to Christ.This has caused me to be unequally yoked.
Is there a positive outcome for unequally yoked marriages? I am a Christian woman; although I definitely have some negative down sides to my personality (impatient), I love the Lord and always envisioned myself being involved in a Christian marriage. My husband and I have very similar background structures. Nevertheless, his structure turned out completely different from mine (family). I wasn't fully cognizant of this until recently. Often times I want to divorce my husband (we've only been married a couple of months) because of how cold he can be. Certainly God does not like divorce and I did make a vow in front of God. I never pressure my husband into going to church because I can't stand to be pressued into anything. However, my husband has already cheated on me and he has a problem with deceiving me. He makes my parents and others believe that he does love me and he wants to make me happy. Sometimes I see it, more often than anything else, I don't see it. Has anyone ever experienced this type of madness before?
"Yoking" (marriage corinthians)? Could i get some christian opinions on the bit about not yoking yourself to a non christian in the corinthians. I have heard that this does not clearly mean marriage. If not what is the bibles position on marriage to a non christian? In another section of the corinthians Paul says that the wife will be santified by her husband (and vice versa). Also I'm not sure the Solomen bit is relevant as it refers to other gods not just someone who is not religious. Therefore they would not influence you over to their gods.
unequally yoked? if i decided to marry some one whom is not my religion am i automatically going to hell? I highly doubt it. I mean its not like i married the person because of religion..so why would you try to persuade them into being something that they are not? not all unequally yoked marriages fail. Its all about the people and rather they want to make it work or not. They have to respect certain things. right? or am i wrong......i just wanna know what yall think...and please no talken about other religions (christianity is dumb, muslims are stupid ext.) or i will report your answer.
Is outlawing gay marriage a slippery slope? Why don't people realize that they won't be able to stop at just outlawing gay marriage! After they've outlawed that, then they'll make interracial marriage illegal. And then marriage between those who are unequally yoked. And then when they're done with that, they'll outlaw all marriage because marriage between a man and a woman violates the sanctity of marriage. Barbara, how will marriage between 2 consenting ADULTS of the same gender lead to marriage with children, pets?
Are you Unequally Yoked with unbelievers? [Question Details inside...]? Just thought this would make a neat question: Are you Equally Yolked = With your spouse? With your friends? With your family? What do you believe it means to be equally yoked? Can you say your marriage, familial and other relationships line up with the Word of God, and what it says about "being unequally yoked with unbelievers"? If you say you are Equally Yoked with your mate, family & friends, can you please explain why you believe so?
To Christians: Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers. Do you? 2 Cor 6:14 We have been ridiculed for having a strict interpretation of the verse as prohibition of interfaith marriage. Accordingly for many, yoke means just an "association" as in "dont associate with unbelievers". But we find such meaning as absurd because we all associate one another regardless of faith. For us, yoke means bond or union. Marriage is bond and a union of two individuals. Our point is: This practice of non-interfaith marriage is NOT a new thing. This was a strict policy of God in the ancient Israel. If you ask who are the unbelievers? The unbelievers are those outside of the church. Common excuse I heard is: If you are truly in loved with someone, God is pleased for God is love and Love is even greater than Faith and Hope. (Our response: Love the world and you'll hate God) IM SORRY the question doesnt fit on the provided space. At any rate, by sense, you can follow from the details that I am asking for explanation why interfaith marriage is not an article of faith for many so-called christian churches today. For Catholics, you can just pay for the wedding ceremony and the priest never ask your religion. And so with protestants. Ours is the only notable church in our area where members are even expelled for violation of this commandment.
Sex-out of marriage is it ok? Some say they respect marriage but its ok anytime-is that delusion? WWJD?TY :D!! "In marriage the bed is undefiled" Hebrews 13 "God is not mocked, for whatsoever a person soweth that shall they also reap." have you ever sinned and gotten a broken heart from it- did you ever tell God i want this person and then sin to get them-and then wonder what happened Jesus says "Be not unequally yoked, for what fellowship hath light with darkness, and righteousness with unrighteousness." when your saved you get morals and principles and its your job to seek the same if u desire a mate-why not for life? friends first?? well your worth the best -not just a test and a failure-see the wonderful person u are. I prayed-Jesus im sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen" and he truely has done that for me--- he promised in Revelation 3vs19&20 speaking from heaven (Rev.1:1) "Behold I love you, and knock on your heart to come in and deliver from sin (repent), when you ask me in i will become your friend." (sup is eating together) thanks:D
Should it be illegal for Christians to marry non-Christians? Seeing as how the Bible is cited as authority for denying marriage equality to same-sex couples, shouldn't we also be debating whether or not to forbid Christians from 'unequally yoked' marriages? Or, Heaven forbid, might it be our right to enter into unions that don't have the Bible's tacit support? "illegal" = contrary to the laws of *man*...
Guidance on Patience? I am currently involved in a temporary separation with my husband. We are probably borderline divorcing, but no one has said anything concretely. I'm pregnant with our first child. Although I have been getting some brief council via email, my patience wears thin. It wears thin because my husband and I have been married short of a year and we have been through everything it seems already. He's not talking to me when I call & it hurts because I don't deal with rejection well at all. He's found some letters where I've expressed to God in different ways that I'm unhappy with how he treats me and I'm also unhappy with some of the decisions that I've made within the marriage that have affected him (although he acts like nothing bothers him). As of now, he's treating me very coldly and has disrespected me. What is the key to patience and is there hope for unequally yoked marriages? How do you stay busy without getting into trouble? Will my husband's heart soften b4 it's too late?
Interfaith marriage...can it work? PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU RESPOND! I am Christian, raised in a Christian home. I have met and fallen in love with a wonderful man, however he is Muslim. He is my world and I am his. I can't imagine us not being together. We have discussed our differences of faith, we respect each others faith. We agreed that when we marry we will not pressure each other to change. We will study God's Word and the Quran together. We want to be together. We believe that we are equally yoked, as God commands in the Bible. When we pray, we pray to the same God. We will be there for each other and are open to talking about our difference. He lives in Cairo and has a successful life there. I am American and I have already been divorced and have two children. We have agreed to have no more children. He will raise mine like they are his. He wishes for us to move to Cairo to be together. We will attend Christian church as a family. I feel great about this. But I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks!

Christians and marriage? Someone asked if we were equally yoked. What does it mean if we are not? What will happen? I'm sure we are not equally yoked. I was raised in church. He wasn't. I have been saved for years. He has been saved about 8 months.
So God disapproves of my marriage? Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? I am an atheist, my wife is Lutheran, so according to her Bible she is not to marry me, but what of her love for me and my love for her, is it not "righteous" in this god's eyes?
Unequally yoked divorce/annulment? Help!? I married last year after 8 months of dating. He joined my church and was loved by all of our members. He attended all of the mens bible studies and was making some pretty close friends at church. I found out that he was addicted to pornography and talked to my minister about it. We started counseling and 3 months into it he stood up in the middle of the meeting and said he was tired of living a double life and wanted out. 3 weeks later he moved out after being home just a few times since the last counseling appt. I've found out since then that he had a girlfriend all along, has a record of arrest due to violence and so many other ugly ugly things I am just sick to my stomach. He wants a divorce and has already served me. I keep begging him to stay in the marriage. Every single thing he told me when we were dating was a lie. He is obviously not saved. I feel so guilty and so cheated. How can I best honor God in all of this? Fight the divorce? (I was married 2x b4 becoming a Christian.) Dan, thanks for your input. I love my husband and I agree with you. You are describing what I have been praying will happen. Now that he has filed for divorce and is living with this young girl I am just besides myself. I email him every morning with scripture and he sends back profanity, He is just not participating at all. I want him as my husband, but more I want him saved. Everyone has left him and I don't want to abandon him but he is hurting me so deeply. My issue w/ the porn was the damage it did to our intimacy and the lies it created. I said for better or worse and this is worse than I could have imagined but I feel my job is to help him- he has nobody left except his unsaved friends who idolize him for having such a cute young girlfriend at his age. He is surrounded by people who support his bad choices- they all work together, even the girl. I am just lost and heartbroken.
For Christians only: Does this verse in the bible justify interreligious marriage? I am a christian, and the girl i like is a korean buddhist. i would prefer if she were a christian of course, but i would rather be with her than be alone (a feeling i know all too well and despise). i know about the verse about not being yoked unequally, however there is another verse in the bible that says this: 12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 1 Corinthians 7:13-14 what do you think.
for christians only? chrisitans aren't allowed to marry people of other religions for they are not equally yoked then why are chrisitian-jewish marriages practised all the time in the states ?
While the good Christians are banning gay marriage, because its Gods law, should we read the laws on slavery? What the Bible says about Slavery Exodus 21:2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant.... Exodus 21:7 If a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant.... Exodus 21:20-21 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. Exodus 22:3 If he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. Leviticus 22:11 If the priest buy any soul with his money.... Leviticus 25:39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee.... Leviticus 25:44-46 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever. Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. Colossians 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God. 1 Timothy 6:1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. Titus 2:9-10 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 1 Peter 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde personality type in a spouse how to deal in a Christian way????? A person whom is well known to me is a Christian and her spouse comes from another religion.The marriage has been turbulant from the start but her beliefs are against divorce.Since leaving is not an option,what are some things a spouse can do if they are with an unequally yoked spouse with an explosive personality that is up and down all the time.DO NOT LIST SEPERATION AS AN OPTION.She feels like she is walking on egg shells on the time.Sometimes hes incredibly nice to her and then he can change and become quite angry and harsh.He also does not take her advice seriously.
Can LDS people date Baptists? Well, I'm just curious since the girl I'm seeing is Baptist. I was just wondering, would it be alright to date a Baptist since I'm LDS? I know the Bible says not to be 'unequally yoked' in marriage. I would greatly appreciate some feedback.
Do these Bible verses really say that those who are wicked and do not fear Jesus have no right to marry? Did you know Jesus designed Marriage as a covenant, not an institution? Does the Holy Bible really say marriage is between a man and a woman? How do we Distinguish Between What is Clean and Unclean; Between What is Holy and Unholy? These Bible Verses Have The True Answer! Leviticus 22:2 …do not profane My holy name by what they dedicate to Me: I am the LORD. The Wicked Have No Right to Marry Psalms 50:16-17...to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing you hate instruction and cast My words behind you? Priests… Leviticus 10:9-10 ...It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, that you may distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean… So… 1Timothy 5:22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure. Hebrews 13:4Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 1 Corinthians 7:2 …because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Mark 10:7-8 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Malachi 2:15 And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Jesus Warns Those who Fear Him… Matthew 5:32 ...whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. (Meaning one who has been Biblically put away for adultery or an unbeliever who was divorced for departing from their marriage) 2Corinthians 6:14-18 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “ I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “ Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “ I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.” Nehemiah 13:27 Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?” Jesus… Ezra 9:14 …should we again break Your commandments, and join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor? If Jesus Doesn’t Want His Followers to Marry an Unbeliever, Then Why Would He Want an Unbeliever to Marry an Unbeliever? But you… Ezekiel 22:26…priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean;… Ezekiel 11:12 … you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you.”’” Psalms 50:18When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers. Romans 2:23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? Romans 1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. You… Isaiah 5:23 …justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man! Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:13 Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! The Covenant of Marriage is Sacred... 1 Timothy 4:3 ...which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Man of God, would you consent to marrying a homosexual couple? Would you agree to marrying an un-repentantfornicating couple? Is sin not sin and unclean not unclean? Is not marriage a holy covenant established by Jesus for His followers? Then why would you validate those who are unclean / unholy, and uncommitted to God's covenants?

Need advice from Christians, real God-loving Christians? I love God, I believe in God, I know He exists and I know Heaven exists. I know there are certain things a Christian shouldn't do and certain things a Christian should do. I have fallen from grace and have acted in a way a Christian should not. I am 18 years old, unwed and pregnant. My boyfriend is 21 and Jewish. I know the Bible says that it's best not to be unequally yoked and that marriage is to be everlasting and should not be taken lightly. I am aware of these teachings and the strength it takes to be with someone of a different faith. My parents are trying to convince me that being with him is against my best interest, against the best interest of my child. They continue to tell me that I am not a believer, I am not a Christian because of this. My mom is sending me bible verses every day, saying that she will not support my being with him if I live at home. I need advice. I'm so torn and so lost. How do I disappoint them again? I respect them, but I don't agree with them. Help? My parents weren't Christians when they married. They converted shortly after marriage. I understand they are by no means perfect as well, but in growing up they sort of fell from their religious ways as well. Church became almost burdensome. Life was more important. Religion was only brought into situations when it was convenient for them. God was never really a huge part of our household. Praying was never done in the open. Reading the Bible was always done secret. I feel that my parents had some sort of shame for being believers. How is it that they feel they have the right to preach to me when they made the very same mistakes when they were young? How is it that they can preach to me on what to do with my life when they don't even have their lives or souls in order? My boyfriend has a steady job, a full-time job, making 40+ a year. He is fully willing and ready to be a father and support me and our baby. He is so proud that he is going to be a father, despite the circumstances. I feel blessed to be in a situation where I know that I have someone who supports me and stands by me. I know others have not been so fortunate.
Will God ever abandon me and not want me as His child? I was told last night that there are 3 reasons for divorce, and that they are: death of a spouse, unequally yoked and the nonbeliever wants out, and if a spouse commits adultery continuously and won't stop....is this true? My spouse is simply abusive emotionally and mentally and verbally. He is a controller. He is not a believer. He is not the spiritual leader of my house. He has major anger issues. He has a bad temper. He is a workaholic and obsessive compulsive. A perfectionist. Anal. We were never friends and never really got along. The kids are grown now and we have nothing in common. Well, if I want to divorce...but he is not dead, wanting out, or making out with other women....do I HAVE to stay? If I don't stay, will God disown me forever and will I be severely punished? I am worried but mad that I have to stay in this. I was told that I made a wrong choice at l9 and now I have to reap what I sow. Does this mean I am doomed to this marriage.?
i hv a galfrend who loves me, call her Helga. B4 she got saved 3months ago she had an unbeliever boyfren? 4yrs. Call him Osama. i do counsel Helga, i tell her repeatedly tht The Lord doznt allow christians yoked to unbelievers(2Cor6.17-18). in principal Helga agrees w/me on tht. but she seems overloaded by the love relation w/Osama tht i feel she doz not say all truth when they meet. she seems afraid tht i may b offended. How do i help her out? Osama knows tht she has goten saved & a christian frend has cropped up in her new life & is proposing marriage. Osama is furiously forcing marriage. I feel a burden on me for her. Am married. Wont like ma overjealous spouse to get ths. I don like helga lost to ths cruel world w/lots of fake love either.
Hypothetical situation for the Relegious Right pro-lifers...? A born-again christian woman is married to an unbelieving abusive man (she was not a believer at the point of marriage) and becomes pregnant with his child, she desires to abort the child to prevent bringing it into a life of abuse and also desires a divorce from her abusive husband, but is conflicted within due to her beliefs, she feels as the bible has told her that marriage is a sacred union, and that her purpose is to live the word of God so that her unevenly yoked husband may one day desire God's love as well, she feels leaving him would be abandoning one of God's lost children, so for God she stays and deals with the abuse. Her morality tells her that to abort her child would be to murder it, but she is conflicted because she honestly feels that no life would be better for her child than bring it into an enviornment where the child will most likely lead a life of suffering similar to her own. Just curious how you think God, pro-lifers, and the relegious right would view this On a personal note, i do not intend to offend anyone, While i may disagree with some answers, I wanted to just see how those who are pretty much opposite of me would view a situation such as the above. I'm a liberal democrat who is also christian, but also feels very strongly about the option of abortion being available to women, specifically because of situations such as this. ***Please lets not lower ourselves to attacks of character, let us show ourselves worthy of God's love by being kind and tolerant of each other*** Um, I;m sorry if i gave you the impression that i was the woman in this situation, sorry thats a misunderstanding, This was a totally hypothetical situation, although I appreciate the prayers and would recommend that you pray for any woman/person who might be dealing with this situation in a very bad very real way. Um, I;m sorry if i gave you the impression that i was the woman in this situation, sorry thats a misunderstanding, This was a totally hypothetical situation, although I appreciate the prayers and would recommend that you pray for any woman/person who might be dealing with this situation in a very bad very real way.
This question is for matured christians only? The Bible tells us not to be yoked with unbelievers . I am into an arranged marriage according to our culture so I did'nt have a chance to know my spouse before marriage but he too is of the same religion(christianity) . He does'nt know The Lord personally but he is strong in the religion like following the traditions but not actually living for HIM based on HIS Word . And these traditions are taking away lot of my time , energy and most importantly my relationship with God . What would you suggest .
Sincere question for believers? Would God look down upon or curse an R&S gay marriage of a bird with blue foots to a bird with black foots? Would we be unequally yoked? :D
Why is God against a Christian marrying a non-Christian? The quote in the Bible that deals with the subject says something like: "Do not be yoked with unbelievers" (in the context of a marriage). I'm assuming that an unbeliever, in the said context, is someone who is not a Christian, which would include Atheists, Jews, Muslims, etc.

Ive recently came to my conclusion Im an Atheisic leaning Agnostic. My wife is Born again should I tell her? Weve been married 4 years and at the time I considered my self A Christian. I felt I needed to hurry and affix myself that label and the church has its ways to really make you think you beleive. Now I feel Ive changed, Ive grown but my wife has no idea, and I just hide it and go along with it even though it now seems like witchcraft to me. I cant even have a conversation without God being mentioned every 5 minutes. Should I tell her at the risk of her divorcing me because were no longer equaly yoked? Or should I keep it inside and go with the flow so I dont ruin my marriage which is what I fear will happen. I would like her to see why Ive changed my views but I never think it would be possible for her to honestly see how and why I think this way or change her views. Its like when I hit 30 my mind really wanted to explore the world and religions and I was able to come to my own personal conclusion based on fact finding and research, she is 40 and Im afraid set in her ways plz help My wife is HEAVILY steeped in her faith, she clung to it after a bad breakup 10 years ago. I can commuicate with her on almost anything she is like my best friend but unfortunately I am afrain to touch this topic with her, you must try to understand how a very religious Christian thinks, She may think less of me or that Im a lost soul or something, in her eyes it could unravel everything, altough in mine I can deal with it because I love her.

Are there STILL Christians who believe that the Bible Forbids Interracial Marriages? I know the answer to this and will give it here...I just wanted to see how many Christians still believe that it is wrong..(I am a Christian) The Bible does not forbid interracial marriages. It does, however, forbid a Christian from marrying an unbeliever: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Cor. 6:14). Numbers 12:1-8 is an account of Moses marrying an Ethiopian woman. If race were an issue, this would have been a great place to set the matter straight. free..I ALREADY explained why I am answering my own question!! barb..read through before you snap someones head off...I KNOW God does not condone interracial marriage...geeezzz momie.the south is still racist. and you are wrong on both points dear.
Since when do musicians throw bridal showers? My friend, who stood up for my wedding five years ago, asked me to be a musician at hers. This is fine; I feel the attendants should agree with the marriage, and he being 27 years her senior, divorced three times, and blind to her being her first marriage,,, makes them very unequally yoked. Anyway, she left me a message on my cell yesterday telling me that her mom was going to contact me about planning her shower? I'm working on a musical piece, and aren't the bridesmaids supposed to do this? She didn't have much involvment in planning my bridal shower, BTW. Lucky she showed up.... the wedding is aug 8, btw. I can't do the weekend before because that's my son's 1st birthday (Aug 3rd, celebrating w/my side on the 2nd, husband's side on the 3rd) THIS weekend would've been good had I known I was doing this!
