Grace For Marriage
Treasured Vignettes

“Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlwssness, or what fellowship light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14

Saint Paul exhorts believers to be separate from evil and not enter into close (confidential) relationships with unbelievers. Yet, some of us became believers after we married and our spouses are not believers. Many then ask, “Should I divorce?” And, many, sad to say, use the difference as an excuse to divorce. But, we are to take the whole counsel of God! God does not encourage divorce! (Matthew 19:3-9) God recognizes the faith of one spouse as His provision of grace for the unbelieving spouse and the children of that union (1 Corinthians 7:14). The Holy Spirit encourages sanctity, love and respect between husband and wife, believer to unbeliever, as well as, believer to believer. Hardness of heart leads to divorce, not reverence and obedience to God. Selah (Stop and think about it).
