Hi Sweetheart,
I married an un believer, It didnt nulify Gods faithfulnes to me (where sin abounds, grace abounds more)
however I was challenged daily by my advasary, for what does light and dark have in common?
2 and 1/2 years of physical, emotional, spiritual, and economical abuse the Lord has began the deliverance for my life and the life of my children.
I would strongly recommend to heed to the voice of wisdom that crys out.
love cristamay

Of course you are still saved, but I agree 100% with Adam as well.

I won't comment biblicaly, but while i dont think both people have to be saved or the exact same religion or have the exact same religious beliefs, i do think that the core values of both people need to be the same or similar. If you are going to be a family, you need to make sure that you and your spouse have the same ideas of family and unity, child raising, etc. If the religions are different, there has to be mutual respect for the differences. My best friend is an atheist (well, more an agnostic than athiest) and he is married to a chaplin. They have a wonderful relationship, and are extremly happy. and have opened eachothers eyes to new posibilities that they may have never come up with on thier own. But they see eye to eye on the core values of love, being good to one another and others, etc. Same with me and my gf/fiance (still saving for a ring). We don't share the same beliefs, but it has not complicated the relationship because while the semantics of our ideas differ, the meanings of them do not.

Pro 11:14 LITV In the absence of wise counsels the people fall, but safety is in abundance of counselors.
Pro 15:22 LITV Without counsel purposes are broken, but by many counselors they rise.
Pro 24:6 LITV For you shall make war for yourself by wise advice, and safety is in the abundance of counselors.I believe that the thoughts and the word that has been shared on this subject from others is wise counsel. To ignore it probably lead to hurt. Would love to share more but my time is running out.

My husband was a non believer when I married him. After almost a year and a half, he was saved. So you never know what God has in store!

There are some comments that I would seek godly and scriptural insight on before I accepted it!

Adam is right. The marriage is not of God if the two of you are not equally yolked. Wait on the one He will send for you. It will be well worth it! Im waiting to sista~! I understand how hard it is

Of course you would still be saved, but it is clear what kind of situation you are putting yourself in. Would you marry this person in hope that some day they will except your faith. People who say that they can have happy marriages with someone who does not believe, and go into that situation knowingly. Where they doing it out of love or out of a need to be married? I would not sit back idly as my spouse lived in unbelief. I would mourn for her loss if I though that I would not get to see her in heaven. I loved this person enough to marry them... just not enough to spend eternity with them too. That doesn't make any sense.

as a counter point. What would you do if your spouse was a believer when you married but had some sort of life altering event that changed thier belief after you were married. Would you love them less, or want to be with them less because of it?

Love is patient, love is kind. I would do my best to guide them back to where they started. I have seen how badly this can go with the divorce of my wife's parents in the last couple of years, and it took time, and we are still working on things, but you are never truly lost. You may turn your back on him but he will never leave you or forsake you. When you marry someone who believes as you do. Do you ever really need to worry about losing them. God brought you together and can heal all wounds that may come.
