How do we know that remaining married to an unbeliever is true according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

The sanctification of the unbelieving spouse and children is cited as evidence for the legitimacy of the marriage.

Scripture asserts that the unbelieving spouse is sanctified by the believing spouse, indicating a covenantal bond remains intact even if one partner is not a believer. Paul states that the legitimacy of the marriage and the holiness of the children are derived from this relationship (1 Corinthians 7:14). Thus, the marriage, which is ordained by God, holds value and significance irrespective of the spiritual status of one partner. This confirms that maintaining the marriage is both a divine principle and an opportunity for evangelism.
