Jessica, no, you will not go to hell for marrying a non-believer. Bless your heart, it may be a little rough as God does desire us to be "equally yoked." Meaning, likeminded, in Him. You noticed I said...desires!!
Jessica, you will stand before God for your life. Your hubby will do the same. So will each family member! Therefore, we can only answer to God, for ourselves! In as much, pray for your beloved's salvation. Beseech the Lord, and seek Him in all things. Never place anyone before God as noone will ever love you like our Creator! Therefore, in loving this man, it should be your desire that he comes to know God as well.
Hun, I am praying for you and for your husband's salvation. God desires you to be likeminded, in Him and I will pray that God opens the heart of your dear one; so that he will be more receptive to that sweet voice of his Creator!
Blessings,
Gail

Not if you truly accept the Lord Jesus as you Savior, the son of God. Because once you do this, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside you and you can't go back to your old way with out convictions hitting you as reminders. So if you truly are a Christian then you love Him because He first loved you enough to be a human and die a human/spiritual death that was not just physically painful but horrible in that at the moment before death he took on the sins of all the world and that I would never want to experience.. see "The Passion". Also when a believer is married to a non-believer it is referred to in the bible as unevenly yolked...which means it is harder for you to walk the christian walk...but it also says that you should stay with him/her because you may bring him to the Lord. So in answer to your question...NO you will not go to hell because you are married to an unbeliever.

Not for marrying a non-believer.
Have you confessed Jesus as your lord and savior? Do you believe Jesus is God's salvation plan? That he was born of the virgin mary, lived a perfect life, died and rose again? That is what determines your salvation.
All the other stuff is important, but none can take away your salvation.
The big question is...Are you saved? If you really believe you are a christian, I encourage you to pursue Christ above all else.

No, of course not.
But because I did the same thing, I'll let you know that there have been times when my non-believing husband put me through hell!
God loves your husband and wants to bless him too. I mean for a start, God gave you to him right?
And the bible says, "...A man who finds a good wife is blessed in deed!
Love your husband, and let him see what God has done for you. As long as he's cool with you serving God, then do what you would do as if he was a Christian too. God bless and best wishes for a happy and long marriage.

Jessica, let us pray together for the salvation of your husband.
Don't be pushy with him about your faith but rather take the advice of this man of God who said this...1Peter 3:1-5 1Â In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over 2Â by observing your pure and reverent lives.
3Â Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4Â You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 5Â This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands. NLT

If you have accepted Christ then you will not go to hell. But you do have to live with the consequences of your actions. This is why we are told to not be unequally yoked (dont date non-Christians). You will also have to deal with the fact that if your husband does not accept Christ- you have to be the spiritual leader of your house (which should not have been put on your shoulders) and that your husband will not join you in heaven. I pray that your husband will see you as an example of Christ and desire a relationship with Him and that your family will grow through this.

No, but your life would have been easier if you had married another believer. If you have asked God to forgive you, just go from here. Be the best wife you can be. Pray for your husband's salvation. Read your Bible and pray daily. Try to find a good church. Pray that he would be willing to go with you, or at least let you go. I'll pray for you. Proverbs 3:5,6

Well? I married someone who I didn't ask ahead of time. And forgot about God for 10 yrs. So? I ended up in a 1 yr breakdown that I also suffered a bit of hell in it.
Then when I was healed by God, then my husband became abusive because I went to Church sooo much.
But if you mean hell after this life? If you are born of God, Jesus can never tell you, "Depart from me, I never knew you...". Because you are a child of the King. And the Kingdom of God is your inheritance. But you were disobedient & was stuck in an unequally yoked marriage. A believer & unbeliever. So? There will be discord. But the bible tells me as a believer to stay with my unbelieving husband if he is happy to be with me. Because he may be saved by my faith in Jesus Christ If he isn't happy with me & my faith in Jesus Christ, then he is free to divorce me. And I would want him to leave me if he isn't happy with me.
I will agree in prayer for the salvation of your husband. And please pray for the salvation of mine also. But also that you will receive blessed assurance regularily from God that your are a Child of the King & loved of God. Nothing can take you out of His hands. He has promised to never leave you or forsake you.
