I just read it not that long ago but now I can't find where I read it. my sister-in-law was told she should not be with her husband because he is not saved, so I would really like to show her where it says this in the bible. I think it could really help her to have confadence in her marrage. Only sererious answers please.

1 Peter 3
1 [Wives] 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, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

I have read it too. I think it is in Matthew. Check the index in you bible under marriage. It does not specifically say that the husband needs to be saved. It is preferred because then husband and wife can be on the same spiritaul page. The best she can do is pray for his salvation and invite Christ into their marriage.

1 Peter 3:1-2
In like manner, YOU wives, be in subjection to YOUR own husbands, in order that, if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of [their] wives, Â because of having been eyewitnesses of YOUR chaste conduct together with deep respect.

yup first corinthians 7
it doesn't say she will, it says if you are married to an unbeliever, don't divorce him if he treats you well.
you never know if by your behavior he might come to believe
this is in response to the "do not be unequally yoked" question paul was asked

Only GOD can change (save) her husband--through PRAYER.
That man has to DECIDE that Jesus Christ is his answer. HE has to want salvation. The only way he may want it, is to watch how SHE lives--Happy, joyous, content,-
DON'T GO TO watchtower. THAT IS A Jehovah's Witness SIGHT. THEY DO NOT EVEN BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST.
AND CHRIST IS VERY REAL!!!
