Im a Christian but it seems that i cant actualy find another Christian that ive fell head over heels in love with as much as i really would prefer to. It seems that the girls that i do fall in love with just happen to be the Non Believers. Ive been in a few relationships but just not found the right girl for me yet. My Christian Friends say a relationship with non believers would never last what do you think?

It is written to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what agreement is there?
I'm a christian who's husband doesn't believe in Jesus Christ yet. I wish I would have drilled him on this when we were going out, but I didn't want to offend him. He did have a christian upbringing. Ours is still lasting. A reason for divorce is adultery or idolatry or physical abuse or threats. He doesn't do these thing. So, I'm waiting for his salvation. I trust God in it. God hates divorce.
Yes, when he is drunk, he can be the worst persecute of my faith. So, I go to God. It matters what God thinks.

I'm an atheist who's been going out with a Catholic for over a year and I've never been happier! Nor has she, for that matter:-)
We both think that how a person behaves is a lot more important than what they believe. I know she's the most wonderful person so she can believe whatever she wants as far as I'm concerned. Equally she thinks I'm wonderful, so the fact that I don't share her beliefs is neither here nor there.
I would say that the most important thing in any relationship is commitment to the other person. If you are both Christians but lack that commitment, where does it get you? On the other hand, if you happen to be a Christian and a non-Christian, but you're absolutely committed to each other, wouldn't that be better?

Well - yes it can - I was not a christian when I married my wife 20yrs ago (& she was a christian). I was interested in her beliefs and after 3 yrs of being married became a christian - so my wife was instrumental in may salvation. BUT in retrospect I would now have to say she was wrong, biblically, to marry me!! The thing is God is gracious and can work inspite of our decisions and actions and although I know of other non believers coming to Christ through marriage there is a real risk that being married to a non believer will have a detrimental effect on the believer. If there is such a fundamental difference between two people then although a relationship might work on one level, I think it is more likely that it would fail through lack of spiritual unity. My own son does however, have a non christian girlfriend, and whilst I would advise him, I would not try and stop him going out with non christians.

I became a Christian 5 years ago, married to a man who was a Christian when I met him but severly backslidden now. He has blamed the church and the fact that I put God first for the disastrous marriage we are in now. He had an affair last week and I'm trying to trust in God that He will make it alright but I'm in pieces. I don't know anyone who is married to a non christian who can say it's working well for them. Please don't go down that route.

well im a non believer and my boyfriend is a Christian we've been together for almost 2 years and we're still going strong! =) I think theres always better things to look at then to concentrate whether the person is a non believer or not. He still tries to get me to go to church and he wishes I was a believer though. so relationships can survive =p

You'd both have some major decisions to make. You would have to not constantly try to 'save' her soul and not feel sorry for her being a 'sinner' and she would have to not look at you as brainwashed.
Since religion is so important, I assume that you are a virgin and will wait until after marriage to have sex. If she repects that, and your boundaries and committment to your god, then you have a shot at success.
Good luck to you in whatever relationship you find. : )

My relationships with my ex's have not worked out, for that very reason.....but I have found a Christian boyfriend, and I am extremely happy!!!! As a Christian, you should remember God will put who he wants in you life, where he wants them.

Of course it can vegetarians fall in love with carnivores, non drinkers fall in love with drinkers and I don't believe in witchcraft but I've been with a witch for years and I'm very happy. If you want to marry go to a registrar and don't be pressurised by your fellow Christians do it for love.

Yes of course. If they are open to your beliefs then yeah. They don't have to believe in the same thing as u, but as long as they respect your beliefs and u theirs it should be fine. And you never know, you might be able to help her find her path to God and Christ. (But just a warning, don't force it onto her...if she's interested, she'll ask u about it and get involved...)
