I'm unequally yoked in marriage, it's the toughest thing I've been through

In an unequally yoked marriage. I got saved 5 years ago. I keep praying for my husband. I am seeing changes in him. I know God is working. GOD is the only thing that gets me through life.

[@no1specialtoyou789]

Good job for obeying the Lord! Many become saved and decide to ditch the unbelieving spouse to find a "believer". This should not be. God bless

I got married recently against conflicting advice from friends. I always heard that it was hard to be in such marriages but I couldn’t wrap my head around what that meant exactly. It only been 6 months into the marriage and it’s like a light switched on to the reality of the situation. All I want to do is run away and come out of this situation, but I know this would be just like before, another step to disobedience (which got me in this mess to begin with). So I’m choosing to be obedient and remain in this marriage. I think just as God was telling us ‘not be unequally yoked’, was for our protection, in the same way him telling us to stay has purpose also though it can be hard to see it. Please pray for me

[@nnylasoR]

My husband of nearly 15 years -who professed to be a Christian when we met, and chose me because I was (am!!) as well- just told me today he is not a Christian. 💔😣😭 He said “My profession of lack of faith doesn’t need to change anything. I’m still guided by a lot of Christian ideals but I struggle to see a benevolent God in the world/Christianity” This is new, and I feel so mixed up and like I don’t know what to do…. but I know I need to live out *my* faith, trusting that God is with me every single step, in every belly-churning moment of grief, in every moment of doubt in his integrity, every moment of feeling like our life has been a lie. God is still God, no matter what my husband thinks.

Yahweh lovingly commanded me out of my unequally yoked union and to repentance 3 years ago. He is faithful. We cannot be knit together with darkness and walk in the light at the same time.

[@no1specialtoyou789]

Yahweh did not lead you out of a marriage with your unbelieving spouse, that was Satan. God's word does not contradict itself. You are commanded to remain with the unbelieving spouse regardless.

God bless each and everyone on here living in an unequally yoked marriage. I am too and it is so difficult but my perspective has changed and I believe that this is Gods way of sanctifying me teaching me to cling to God and his word walk in love I’m learning patience I’m learning long suffering I’m learning to love unconditionally I’m giving God the glory because I know he’s in control and everything is for my good and his glory amen! Now I know it’s hard but God will give us all the strength if we ask and in the end Gods will be done. I learned to focus on my walk with Jesus Christ because he’s the only one who can change my husband. I wasted so much time I’m talking years badgering and complaining just like pastor was talking about but when I really decided the battle wasn’t mine and gave it to God gave my husband to God things started to change for me the peace came. This walk is not an easy one but through Christ Jesus all things are possible. Stand firm brothers and sister and know God has a plan for you and your marriage either way. I love you all in Jesus name

You can be unequally yoked as Christians too, when one is more in love with God and the things of God, the Word and the people of God.

[@LouisaWatt]

Yes, very true. Also plenty of people who aren’t truly born again who go to church to get a better spouse

[@PrettyNiftyLLT]

Is there a sermon for that instance? I'm looking

[@lorebay2593]

@@PrettyNiftyLLT hi, there are many sermons on this topic in 2nd Corinthians 6:14 my second favorite teaching man of GOD is Bishop Bronner, insightful teacher, and though not on board 100% Iylanya Vanzant has teachings and K. Dentley has a sermon on this, yielding to the power of the Holy Spirit. I don’t know how to do links. I do suggest to take heed to the scriptures.

Linen and wool has a frequency of 5000 each, which is very healing to be around that number. That is why linen is so expensive… you feel better with it on, sleep better in it….but mixed together they cancel out each other to zero which is very toxic for the body to have zero frequency…

Unequally yoked is like dying slowly everyday. My husband is an alcoholic for years plus he got exposed to Jehovah witness. My husband is not husband material I wish I never married him. Some days I want to divorce him. Married 30 yrs now he might not get saved till he's on his death bed. Alot of hell to go through plus he corrupted my son who turned out to be a drug addict. I'm so unhappy I wish it would all end

[@Mimi-kb1md]

I’m so sorry to read your pain and hurt you are going through. I went through this and finally left. He cheated, lied, verbally and mentally abused me and put the kids before me. I never been happier being single. Please pray for your marriage but life is short and will be shorter living with abuse.

[@no1specialtoyou789]

Even in an unequally yoked marriage you can true fulfillment through Christ. Remember, we are His bride, He is our husband. I'm also married to an unbelieving spouse myself and I can tell you I have been through some pretty rough trials since I got saved. But I want to encourage you to keep praying for your spouse and believe that with God ALL things are possible. Your marriage is sanctified and your children are holy because of you. Your chaste conduct, faithfulness and obedience to the Lord may possibly win your husband over and save his soul. Don't give up on your husband.

"Do not be deceived: bad company corrupts good morals." 1 Cor 15:33. I find it hard to be encouraged to remain with an atheist who I married out of wilful sin against God. If God tells us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and I remain married to an unbeliever... well that sounds like sin? Very confusing

[@leslycaseeypeace1629]

The pastor refered that scenario to two people who were unbelivers when they married each other.The one who gets saved should not devorce the partner because they haven't got saved too .but if the unbeliever decides to leave ,then they should let go of him or her

[@basedporcupine]

I'm a Christian 100% no doubts in my mind. My wife is not and refuses to even listen. However my kids have given their life to Christ. So 3 out of 4 are Christians but she refuses to believe and quite frankly makes our lives a living hell because of it. I dont know what to do because if I told her to leave then my kids would go with her (modern family court for you) and may lose their love/faith for Christ. What am I suppose to do???

[@newhopechristianchurch1436]

So sorry, I just saw your post. Your life is not easy but you are a living sacrifice for the sake of your children. They need an intact family, especially a dad who walks with Jesus. Take it one day at s time and do some research and get around some Godly men who can lift you up. Your life may be difficult but God will be glorified. Blessings to you.

[@Ashley-id2cb]

An unequally yoked marriage is horrible! Just horrible... the unbelieving spouse hates the growth of the Christian or try and drag you down or do their sin. They hate you. Saying it's hard is an understatement. It could stifle the Christian growth. How can you emphathize with someone who hates God and good? Just pray for us.

[@terryrodrigues3234]

What do you do when your husband says they no longer love you? Also what do I do if I am inconsistent in my walk with the Lord? I try, but I struggle with this.

[@terryrodrigues3234]

We were both raised as Catholics and got married in the Catholic Church, raised her kids in the Catholic Church. Then I got saved, and eventually my daughter got saved and is married to a Christian husband after years of dating unequally yoked guys are my son used to say when he was in his teens Because I was not consistent in getting my family to church every Sunday so when I would he would say what did mom do wrong that she feels we need to go to church. Now as an adult, he’s going to have his child christened in a Catholic Church, but personally and spiritually he will debate you. On the Bible, when Jesus was born if he’s real, why do bad things happen it never ends. He has a come back for everything, and he is like this in every aspect of his life. When he was young, he was diagnosed several times before they finally found what I’ve read from the doctor that he had Asperger‘s, he is a highly intelligent engineer and entrepreneur is married to Catholic but they don’t go to church. I’ve heard them say when their child is born, they’ll start going She is six months almost 7 months now and they still don’t go. They still haven’t planned the christening. Not sure if it’s financial they said they found a church but I don’t hear about them attending. My husband is from Portugal and they have a strong belief in Catholicism, Fatima, the apparitions of Mary to the three young children and I believed in that at the beginning of my marriage before I got saved. However, I’m not allowed to speak about my faith politics or any other subject. They don’t want to hear about husband and children. My two children don’t get along and never have, now that they’re adults married one has a child one is due this month. I don’t know because they both have disabilities. She has a mood disorder and possibly ADHD. Her husband has ADD and they are always short of money so myself and his mother keep helping them, because there are children, they believe as a Christian family that she should homeschool and not send her child to a public school. She herself struggled through public school and was always in an IEP where she was in special classes for kids in need. I pray the Lord helps her teach her child, the important things, according to God and according to arithmetic science, history, etc. however both my daughter and her husband and my son and his wife think it’s OK for people to have same-sex marriages and have lots of friends that are this way as well as family they harshly rebuked me for not attending any same-sex marriages. I lost my best friend and my husband lost her husband as a close friend and the entire family and friends group that came along with it. I personally think it’s what God wanted because we do not have the same beliefs or at least I do not I am severely depressed have attempted suicide multiple times my husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms many days we don’t say hello good night or speak at all. I am completely at a loss and I so desperately need to find a way to be committed to God 110% over me and God deserves nothing less I am desperate for advice I’m trying relentlessly to find a Christian therapist or a Christian who will help me and my walk the one Christian friend I had moved to North Carolina and I live in Massachusetts. My husband makes the decisions where we live what we’re going to do etc. I am hopeful that your word and wisdom today about just continuing to act like Jesus would that he would eventually come to love me again, and ultimately become saved, and I so wish that for my son and his wife as well. God bless you I believe Jesus lead me to your message today, thank you!

[@sofiamendez6142]

My husband is a Christian and believes in God ( Yahweh) but yet still interested in other stuff that does not represent Christ, he believes in things/associations that believe in Ancestral worshipping, calling themselves gods and what I see as idolatry. Says its his culture and Im judging him but I feel a disconnect and unequally yoked, it seems conflicting to me and causes confusion so I don't feel comfortable doing bible study with him or sharing the Christwalk lifestyle with him. I don't know if I let him be and continue saying hes a Christian and following Yahweh and believes in Yeshua but sometimes compares Jesus to other prophets. Any advice? Am I being too holy roly and over analyzing? Is what hes doing ok in Gods eyes? Is God pleased with me, even if I leave him?

[@jacquelinebansah5918]

What he's doing is not right( that's my point of view) but please don't leave him rather pray for him always .

I’m in the same situation. He says I’m forcing my beliefs on him and my children because I don’t want to partake of things of the world. He Keeps bringing up the past and who I was before Christ called me back to him… and every time I compromise my beliefs for my husband I end up back in the world, lost, alone, scared, confused and tormented. I think I need to leave, but my husband claims to believe in Christ and on his own spiritual journey, I’m conflicted and keep praying for God to change my husband’s heart or remove him from my life. I’m in so much torment and suffering spiritually and emotionally trying to cope with being so unequally yoked

[@sofiamendez6142]

@@Gommamomma I'm so sorry you are going thru this, I obviously know the feeling. We all have to make our own decisions and trusting in God is first. It took a long time to finally focus on my walk w Christ and pray and wait for His direction and let Him work. Me and my husband living in separate homes right now has been beneficial to us both, but it's not always necessary, my mom would tell me just keep praying, strengthen your relationship with God and be that example to your husband and the kids and it was hard bc my husbands presence alone wld mess w my spirit and I couldn't focus on The Good Word. Since we been separated my prayer life is stronger and I see change in myself and I continue to be loving and patient and stand my ground on my Belief in The Almighty and Christ. I will be definitely praying for you love. Feel free to stay in contact w me

Judas lived for more than 3 years with Jesus and still betrayed him. No one can be better than Jesus. A son or a daughter of the devil can stare at God’s face and cringe. It’s not the responsibility of the believer if the unbeliever didn’t come to faith.
