For people who find themselves with a non-believing partner (say, you were both non-believers when you married and one later became saved, but before you had children)
If you accept the premise that the Bible says the now saved partner should continue to stay with the non-believer, should you also have children with the non-believer? Or should you remain childless and make the most of your marriage as is?

Yes-absolutely. Your spouse may become a Christian while attempting to raise his children correctly.
Unless this unsaved spouse has shown you that to stay with him your life will be miserable. But you do not mention any problems, only that one is saved and one is not.

I have a child and my wife is a non-believer. It is very difficult and the family is very disjointed and definately not harmonious. Luckily my daughter has also decided to be a Christian.
Since I am married, I follow the scripture that states that I should remain in the marriage unless my wife decides to leave.
If I had the choice of having a child while one was Christian and the other not, I would choose to remain childless and probably end the marriage. In my case we had our daughter while I was still a backsliding christian and I am blessed to have her (even though she is a teenager now).

i think of it would be very very confusing to declare the least... yet on the comparable time in case you relatively got here upon somebody you relatively cared approximately and related to, in my opinion a minimum of being raised a Christian it would be regarded down upon of their religon quite. additionally i does no longer care what religon yet another gal replaced into if we relatives member yet another with all our hearts. She could be a scientologist for all I care. in case you do no longer a minimum of provide it a shot then you certainly won't in any respect understand. i do no longer think of religon ought to play the form of good roll and characteristic the form of concerning relationships in existence because it does. maximum southern baptists would possibly never get entangled with somebody who didnt have faith what they did, yet isnt that stereotyping? in my opinion, existence is all approximately studies and taking disadvantages. Why no longer? The worst that should take place is it would be stressful and not artwork out!

Go to church and tell him you that you need to go and ask him to come he'll do it if he loves you.And if he has question tell him to ask the pastor. Raise your children as christians unless you want them to go to hell.yea god wants the best for all you ask him to help and pray.Also youll learn what true love is and both you and your husband will have a strong marriage together you can overcome problems of course god has to be there.

If it is that important find a partner who shares your views. That way your children can have a very narrow view of the world around them.

I know many people who raised their children as believers with non-believing husbands. For some it was harder than for others. Remember that Timothy was raised as a son of a non-believer but had a believing grandmother and mother.

you can still have children...just do as much as you possibly can to get the non-believer(spouse) to start to come to chruch with you and then eventually the spouse would get saved if they just listened to what the preacher is saying..and then y our children can get saved....so ya...its ok to be married to a non-believer...just as long as they dont get you out of goin to church and outa your Christian way of life

your religious beliefs should have nothing to do with you or your husband, would your husband divorce you because he decides to become a vegetarian and you wont. It sounds pretty selfish and judgemental to me that you do not know if you should stay with a nonbeliever.

I guess that you could have children with a nonbeliever but I do not know how the relationship will work especially if you are a strong believer and your husband/wife talks negatively about your Heavenly Father, no offense but no "love" can compare to CHRISTS love. no man or flesh, when he/she goes CHRIST will always be there with you to pick up the pieces.
