Married to an Unbeliever?

Married to an Unbeliever?

“To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.  
And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.  
For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 
But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.  
How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? 
Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.”
                                                                               1 Corinthians 7:12-17.
Are you married to an unbeliever? They if they are willing to still stay with you then do so. That’s simply  what Paul is saying her. If the unbelieving partner wants to go then let them do so.
Paul makes a clear and logical point here for saying with an unbelieving spouse that is willing to stay,
“How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?”
I know that wives can save husbands and vice versa. My pastors wife was married to an unbeliever. He eventually came to know the Lord and not only that he went on to become pastor of our church.
It does happen.
If you have a good marriage and one is an unbeliever there is nothing wrong with that. There is no reason to break up. Simply be the best spouse you possibly because in doing so you may win your spouse and your children to Christ.
Think about it.
