1Corinthians 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified be the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctifed by the husband: else were you children unclean; but now are the holy.

i think this clears that matter up. hope this helps.

Of course unequally yoked could also be wealthy and poor, or old and young so many variables so many combinations. However it is difficult for a church going believer to marry an atheist. How would you raise your kids? Mom says yes, Dad says no. Confusion abounds. You need to think about something like that very carefully.

The bible says not to be unequally yoked, which translates to a believer and a non-believer, the verse is 2Corin 6:14.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

wow, seems really elitist to only allow christians to marry christians, and it also doesnt bode well for me and my girlfriend, as im an atheist, and she is decidedly not.....but i cant believe that any benevolent god would allow that to happen...

Marriage is not sacramental, or a covenant marriage.
