What does the Bible say about being married to an unbeliever?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible advises believers not to marry unbelievers, but if already married, they should strive for peace.

The Bible clearly advises believers not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, as found in 2 Corinthians 6:14. However, if a believer is already married to an unbeliever, they are encouraged to remain in that marriage if the unbelieving spouse is willing to stay. Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 7 that the marriage covenant remains intact and is ordained by God, bringing a certain sanctity to the relationship and legitimacy to any children born from it. The believer should strive for a peaceful coexistence, while also understanding that their own transformation and faith can potentially lead the unbelieving spouse towards salvation.
