If im christian and my boyfriend is not, cant we still get married?

Answer 1

Yes. You and your boyfriend will have to discuss the how of it. Will you be married in a civil ceremony and later have the marriage blessed by the church? I have been at Jewish/Catholic weddings where the Rabbi performed the ceremony and the Priest offered a blessing, and visa versa. You will have to discuss this with your clergy person as well.

Answer 2

The word of God says that a Christian should not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. This means a Christian should not marry a non Christian. God intends a that Christian marriage should be lived out according to Godly principles and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in the union.
A non Christian would probably not go along with these and how serious would the marriage vow be to a non Christian. A marriage is a covenant between the couple and God and marriage is for life. Divorce is not an option. If you want to do it God's way, the answer is you cannot.

Answer 3

There is nothing legal to prevent you from getting married. However, depending on how strict a Christian you are, you need to think long and hard before you do it. If looking at life from a particular point of view is very important to you, can you spend your life with someone who doesn't look at life that way? It may not seem important right now, but over a fifty or sixty year span, it can make a whole lot of difference.

At the very least, you need to get some serious premarital counseling.

Answer 4

marriage is not about happiness...because we are not always happy now we might have joy and peace but the happy feeling may not be there. Marriage is a beautiful picture between Bride (the Church) and the Bridegroom (The Christ), He loved us first therefore we submit and repent because of His goodness, at least thats the way it was designed. No one can tell you what to do really but I think that you are asking the wrong ppl here, u will get mixed answers, ask your Savior and Lord, your intimate friend, He already told us what He wants from His people, not to be one with unbelievers, but perhaps you can pray for Him, maybe put the wedding/relationship on hold and look to just crying out for His Salvation, look here: Luke 18:2-8.....look the widow cried out so much that the unbeliever helped her....

to people who disbelief and do not agree: I used to be one like that but once you are Saved is not only a word, the Holy Spirit comes and makes His house in you, so you are able to percieve things that are foolishness to the world. Unbelievers might think that what we Christians say is a blabber....but we have such a clear view of that because our seeing, hearing, was taken over by the Holy Spirit, and yes we are brain washed by the Word of God, and yes we are narrow minded because we are on the narrow road.....but we are FREE, something an unbeliever cannot taste (freedom is not ability to do anything u want, that and ability not to do certain things)
God wished for all to be saved

Answer 5

yes you can but like a good father God advises us not to because history shows that marrying into other faiths/ belief systems causes problems. I know christians who are married to non christians and it can work, but there is a sadness to not sharing beliefs.

Answer 6

OF COURSE!

See the books in the bible on Ruth who is a non Christian with the good heart. Remember following God is not a necessity of who goes to church or who reads the book. It is about how you perceive your own moral standing. If you love him and he is good he is still recognized by God weather he knows it or not. This is all covered under Ruth

Answer 7

you can still get married; but if you are a devoted christian...by that i mean church twice on sundays and on wednesday night , also there are always church things like bible school, outings etc... going on; your husband may get upset because that time isnt been spent with him. thats where most christian -non christian couples have their problems. yet there is a bright side to this you can invite him to go with you to church and to the functions and maybe he will come to see that being a christian isnt a hinderance but a blessing.

If your spouse says "I have fallen out of love with you" don't panic. It doesn't mean your marriage is over. It doesn't even mean they don't love you. How to get your spouse to love you again https://tr.im/r0JAw

What it does mean is that your spouse has lost their way, or doesn't understand the many stages love and a relationship goes through.

You are being called to take charge of the situation, guide your spouse towards understanding this process, and even begin to rekindle your relationship.

The key to success is in understanding what is happening in your marriage and the role that love plays. It's very easy for us to connect losing the feelings of being in love with actual loving when it is not really the case.

Answer 9

Yes you can. Some faiths do require that you become a part of their faith, some don't. There are clergy who will not marry tow individuals who are not of the same faith, but the county court house has not problem with it. It is all up to if you two have a problem with it.

Answer 10

Of course you CAN - your real question,. I suspect, is would it be WISE.
If you have open communication and understanding of each other's worldview - if you respect and honor each other - it can be workable. Be aware, also, that marriage to a believer can be a mistake too, if you do not have common ground and open communication.
The foundation of a common faith would be good: the fundamentals of a working relationship, however, are essential.
