Jan 4, 2022 · Marriage is a sacred covenant that joins two people together in one flesh (Matthew 19:5). It can be very difficult for a believer and an unbeliever to live in peaceful harmony (2 Corinthians 6:14-15). If one partner becomes a Christian after the marriage, the inherent struggles of living under two different authorities quickly become apparent.

I thought my passivity and conflict avoidance were evidence of my piety. Because I believed I shouldn’t do or say anything tha...
Paul urged the Corinthian believers to “let those who have wives live as though they had none” (1 Cor. 7:29). He wasn’t saying to disregard your marriage, but to not cling to it as though our greater Bridegroom isn’t coming for us, his bride. My marriage is a broken shadow of a jaw-dropping glory. If I cling to it, I’ll hold nothing but a clenched ...

Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives. 1 Peter 3:1. In the above passage, Peter starts off with the phrase “in the same way.”.

The context clearly presents the situation where one of the unbeliever converted; it does not talk about a single believer marrying an unbeliever.
