This is a Question sent in through the Ask Aaron Anything link:

I am unequally yoked, now what?

My Answer:

Scripture tells us in 2 Cor. 6:14 “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers…”  There are two ways people view being unequally yoked,  because of your question I can not tell if that means you are already married, you are just dating, or you are engaged.  Let’s start with the more harsh answer of the two:

If you are dating or engaged to an unbeliever and you are not in a marriage covenant then you are in rebellion to the Word of God and you are worshipping man and not God.  You need to repent and return to obedience and stop walking in prideful rebellion to His word.  If you are pridefully refusing to obey the Word of God knowing it is sin maybe you are not unequally yoked.  This may sound harsh but I say it in love praying for your heart to be restored to right relationship with God.

Now, if you are already married then let me tell you what 1 Cor 7:12-24 says, “you must not divorce them.”  If they divorce you because of your faith you are not bound and you can feel released from that marriage.  If you are married to an unbelieving spouse then perhaps the most valuable word of hope and encouragement to you comes from 1 Peter 3:1-7.  I suggest you read it and let His Word edify and challenge you.  Your hope comes in continuing to love your spouse, to let your faith be seen in your acts of love as you stay in covenant. Your highest desire should be for this one whom you so love to come to know and follow Jesus Christ. As you live a life with your spouse, you can trust God to do his own work of grace in their life.
