Will God bless my marriage if I marry a non-christian?

Answer 1

THE BIBLE SAYS, "We can't be equally yoked with non-christians" Ask God to give you a Christian wife. I've met couples with different religions and had terrible times living together.

Answer 2

2 Corinthians 6:14 has nothing to do with marriage to a non-Christian. It specifically tells Christians not to be pulled away by non-Christians in any relationship.

1 Corinthians 7 addresses mixed marriages. It is possible to convert a spouse while married, but statistically it's more likely to happen the other way.

If you marry, you will have a difficult time. Know that ahead of time. Talk it over and tell your spouse-to-be how important this is to you. If he can't accept that, it's better to know now instead of later. The best time to get a divorce is before you marry.

Answer 3

I asked the same question when I met my husband. My husband is Hindu, I am Christian.

I read every the Bible verse concerning marriage to a non-Christian that I could find. I discovered that the New Testament basically says that if you are married to a non-Christian, you don't have to leave him/her if he/she is not a Christian, but rather, you should remain married so that you will be a good influence over him/her and your children. There is also a verse that speaks of being "equally yoked."

What I had to consider was the fact that I had prayed since the age of 16 that God would direct me to the one man that was right for me---and that I would know it was him when I met him. I wanted a man who would love me for me. God directed me to this man. I had remained faithful to my "future husband" since the day I first prayed that prayer. I am so glad that I did! God answered my prayer!

I think that you have to pray and seek the answer to your question on your own. My experience is only one of many out there. Only you can know if God blesses your marriage or not. Pray and read the Bible to seek your own answer.

Answer 4

Of course God will bless any Kind of marriage except those who contradict the sanctity of marriage, like for example, man to man or woman to woman marriages, because it defies the command of God to multiply (procreate).

But, in the old testament, marrying of non-Jews is prohibited by God. Those Jews who gave their sons and daugther to non Jews were punished by God.

However in the New Testament there is also a command that says "Do not be equally yoke with unbelievers .. etc.) This statement includes marriages of non-believers.

God does not forbid marrying another faith, in fact the scripture says that the unbelieving wife is justified by the believing husband or vice versa.

The main reason why God does not condon this practice is because of conflict in their belief and the affected one is their offspring. What faith will their childrens follow? The father or the mothers religion. This is a big problem when the children began to grow up, there will be confusion. That is the main point of God why he does not condon marrying non-belivers.

Answer 5

I think many Christians are wrong by thinking that God blesses them and them alone. I can't imagine a world in which God would bless Bush but not Gandhi. If the two of you truly love each other, I would say you already have a blessed relationship.

Answer 6

God blesses all marriages in some manner. In most marriages God grants children.

The negative part on a marriage between and Christian and a non-christian are many.

The Christian will be yoked to a non-believer...which is sin.

The responsibility of raising the children to know Christ will only be on their shoulders. ... And, God still expects the Christian to bring them to church and teach them ...even if they have no assistance from their spouse.

The relationship will not be as close as it should be. Spirituality is a huge area of connection and when it is lacking in a relationship, it becomes tough. Usually (from my church experience) the Christian seeks a person to connect with. I always advise women to connect with other women. Since they are sinful, they don't always do that...and connect with men that don't have believing wives...and you know where that can go.

The other problem is the commitment level of the marriage. Wedding vows usually say, "Let no man seperate...Till death do us part...so help me God."
If one person doesn't believe in God, then how can they honor their vows?

It is definately sin, but yes, God does bless all marriages in a small way.

Answer 8

I'm marrying a "non-christian" and I feel more blessed than when I was dating a guy going to seminary to be a preacher. I think as long as you read you Bible and keep the same devotion to God that you have now, he will bless you regardless of the religious status of your spouse. Just live your life in Jesus image and be an example to your spouse, and maybe one day your example will lead them to Christ.

Answer 9

I married a non-Christian and God blessed my marriage by answering my prayers and changing my husband's heart... Now we attend church together and we're very happy with the depth it's brought to our connection as a married couple.

Answer 10

Only your spouse can bless a marriage. Unless of course they are expecting God to do it. Than guess what? No Blessings!
BTW Bless means to anoint with blood, why in the heck would your want that anyway?

Answer 11

Yes, take a look at the bible in 1st Corinthians chptr 7 verse 12-16, your answers are right there, it is a very interesting part of the bible for marriage, you may also reference to Mark ch 10 verse 7-9 and Mark ch 9 verse 43, these are all good to read if you are thinking about marriage. Good luck, but take it seriously if you want to do it.
