AN UNSAVE SPOUSE

(Dialogue Question)

Should one be unequally yoked to another?
or should couples remain married for the sake of their children?

We know that many couples remain married for the sake of their children, until the children reach adulthood. Many parents feel this is an obligation and responsibility, considering the livelihood of their children. Many couples remain married because of the fear of starting over with someone new in their life. Anticipating the changes that comes with new relationships.


I Corinthians 7: 12 - 16

But to the rest speak I, not the Lord; If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, is not a Christian, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away, leave or divorce her.

And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, is not a Christian, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

For 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.(If the family separates, the children may never know the Lord).

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God has called us to peace. (This is permitted to have peace).

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man; whether thou shalt save thy wife?


Paul ask, "How do we know whether we will save our unsaved spouse or our household by the way we live? We know in trying times as these we need each other for better, for worse, for richer or for poorer; until death, another life with God, do us apart. Jesus also said, "He will never leave or forsake us: in sickness, health, for better or worse. This is what He said.


Never leave or forsake him, God; until we meet him again soon.
