How should Christians respond to an unbelieving spouse who wishes to depart?

Answered in 1 source

If an unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, the believer is not bound and may let them go peacefully (1 Corinthians 7:15).

When faced with an unbelieving spouse who desires to leave, 1 Corinthians 7:15 instructs believers to allow them to depart. This does not imply that the believer should seek divorce, but rather that if the unbelieving partner is unwilling to live in harmony with the believer's faith, they are free from the marital obligation. The primary focus is on living in peace as God has called us. The believer's freedom from this marital bond allows them to seek a God-honoring life without hindrance.
