"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" --2 Corinthians 6:14.

So many people justify dating (and eventually, marrying) the unsaved, calling it "witnessing." You can witness to someone without dating them, and keep yourself a lot safer too. If you are dating someone who is unsaved, then you are looking at the physical. Yes, they may be nice, but they are still in the dark. Light and dark don't mix. If you're attracted to the body, keep in mind that it will fade. If you're attracted to the personality, don't forget that some are excellent deceivers. God has a perfect will for your life, so why would you settle for second best? God warns us to stay away from the unsaved for a reason--it will only bring heartache for years to come, especially if children are or become involved.

What if you've already married an unsaved individual?

"And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: ¹¹But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. ¹²But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. ¹³And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. ¹⁴For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. ¹⁵But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. ¹⁶For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" --1 Corinthians 7:10-16.

If you're honestly worried about trusting God's will, and marrying the right one for you, here is some encouragement:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." --Jeremiah 29:11.

God loves us and cares for us, and His will is much better than anything would could have ever hoped or dreamed for.
