Christian women married and unmarried?

Question

I would like to know- how many of you unmarried christian women would marry an unchristian man?

married women- did you marry an unchristian man and if you married a christian man- would you have possibly married an unchristian man before you met your husband? if you DID marry an unchristian man are you still happily married and for how long?

I'm asking through and through christian women ONLY that profess to have a love for and yearning for an undersanding of God. if you believe it is ok to marry the unchristian man- what is your reasoning please.

in case you are curious - no i'm not a christian. just a curious person that likes honest answers.

Answer 1

I think it would be very difficult because fundamentally you do not have the same values.  So being in accordance and raising children with certain values is going to be difficult when you do not both carry the same values.

Marriages of course happen and some work, but I don't think fundamentally it is a wise move to marry someone so different.

In fact, if I had to give anyone marriage advice I'd say marry your best friend.  It's what holds up in the end.

Answer 2

its better to marry than to burn.

Answer 3

i would only date and marry a man who believes what i believe about God

Answer 4

You can't help who you love, so therefore if you marry someone that has a different religion than you have, you deal with it and go on.  

Answer 5

I do not beleive its ok to marry and unchristian man "do not be un equally yoked with an unbeliver"

I married a Christian man and altho his faith is not SUPER DUPER i know he is always open for discussion in that area. And i love him

Answer 6

Having God first in a marriage gives that marriage a stronger chance of lasting in these days.  Yes, I am a Christian and I would not marry a non-Christian.  I have dated a man who was not and it was a very difficult relationship.  Having a Godly husband makes the foundation of our marriage so much stronger.

Answer 7

I am a married Christian woman. I love my husband with all my heart. We have been married for a little over a year. When we met, I was a regular church attender and my husband was not. Although he believed in God, he didn't follow biblical guidelines, or pray or much else. I was up front about my religion and how I wanted my kids raised in church. We ended up finding a church with no denomination, good music and a laid back pastor who preached directly form the bible. It appealed to my husband and to me for being such a bible-preaching church. We ended up attending there until we moved out of state. The preacher there officiated our wedding. My husband and I attend church regularly and he was even baptized before we left.

Honestly, I didn't mind that my husband wasn't an avid church goer. But I probably wouldn't have gotten into a serious relationship with him if he didn't at least believe God existed and try to give what I believed a try. When something is a huge part of your life, your partner needs to respect that. And although I did not try to convert him, I was happy when he wanted to be baptized, because it showed he was Christian to our relationship and it was going to be built on Christ.

If you are looking for a Christian woman, ask yourself why. If it's because of how she lives her life, don't you think she is probably looking for the same thing?

Answer 8

Non-Christian would actually be the correct term.

I'm a Christian woman who dated several non-Christian men, but decided that I couldn't marry someone whose faith differed so much from my own.  I've known women who married men of a different faith (even with both still being Christians) and they got divorced because their views were just so different.  I have known some people who have been able to make it work with someone of a completely different faith, but personally, I didn't want to have to figure out all the details of how to raise your children and what to do about the wedding ceremony, and how to talk about your spouse's faith without demeaning one or the other.  It would be very difficult and it is a special and very strong couple who can make it.

Answer 9

I do  not believe it's okay for a christian woman to marry a man that's not a christian--the bible clearly talks about things like this--you need a strong christian marriage & for him to be head of your household and upholding the faith--how could you be close & share everything if you have such strong different beliefs?

Answer 10

well the bible says to not be unequally yoked meaning if your a christian don't marry an unbeliever. so no i would never marry an unbeliever. personally i don't think  a marriage like that would work.

Answer 11

I'm Christian and so is my husband. Having faith in God can be very similar to other things you have in common. It is one of the big things though. I would not marry anyone that did not believe in God or was an athiest. Just as I would not marry someone that was a loud and proud vegan. We would not match. Marry the person that makes you comfortable and matches with your goals.  

Answer 12

Conservative Christians are usually very unworldly and don't know many non-Christians to begin with. They focus on nothing but their religion. Their parents raised them to feel a sense of superiority about their 'faith.' They don't grasp the simple fact that belief in God has nothing to do with 'Christianity.'
