Should I Marry Someone Who Isn’t a Christian? | Dave and Ashley Willis

Ezra 9:14 says this. But even so, we are again breaking your commands and intermarrying with people who do these detestable things. Won't your anger be enough to destroy us so that even this little remnant no longer survives? So, kind of a strong, strong verse. Ezra was a strong character, a prophet. Israel was losing their faith, their identity, by disregarding God's plan for marriage. He wants us to marry someone who shares our faith. The Bible says, don't be unequally yoked as we teach our children in a world that's becoming more and more pluralistic and more and more godless. We need to raise our kids to choose to marry someone who knows Jesus. Because if they don't, it doesn't matter how compatible you are. It doesn't matter if your friends think you're the perfect match. Your marriage isn't going to be all it could be. And in fact, it's probably going to have some deep struggles. Because what's most important to you as a follower of Christ is not important to this person you're pledging your life with.
