Can a Christian Marry a Non-Christian? Key Biblical Insights
Many Christians wrestle with whether it’s right to marry someone who doesn’t share their faith. You may value your partner’s character and love who they are, yet you also want to honour your beliefs and God’s will. Interfaith marriage raises practical and spiritual questions: Will you pray together? How will you raise your children? Who leads worship in the home? The Bible addresses this in 2 Corinthians 6:14, warning against being “unequally yoked” with unbelievers. Just as mismatched animals struggle under one yoke, spouses with different spiritual foundations may face tension in finances, forgiveness, parenting and life purpose. This doesn’t deny that good people exist outside your faith. It simply highlights the value of shared spiritual priorities in marriage. Before you decide, consider what unity in faith would mean for your future together.
