To set this up, 2 weeks before my wedding I had a sit down conversation where someone told me that because my husband isnt saved, He will not be able to truely love me, he wont be able to love me with an everlasting love which is also know as agape love. I was also told that Ive not only robbed myself, but I have robbed my children of a strong spiritual leader in the household...Im sorry but I wasnt very happy when someone told me this...in fact my feels were hurt and it was rather inappropriate for the person in the position they were in to say this...Im sorry 2 weeks before, are you trying to scare me from my marriage? if that was the goal, it didnt...not even a chance! But it did change the way I feel about this person...
after a lot of talking with my parents, my husband, and friends I was encouraged to basically ignore what that person had said but to also know that yes because he isnt saved we are possibly going to have a tougher road ahead of us...which is understandable and I accept that...
I would like to thank Nicole Sundstrom for showing me this bible passage, it is very encouraging and just what I needed :
1 Corinthians 7: 13-16
And 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?
I understand the bible says not to be uneually yoked, but I believe that a marriage is possible when you have love and Christ out on the table and open in the household...which my household is that way! I dont appreciate someone asking personal questions about my personal life and saying that those personal questions were between me and the church...you are HEAVILY mistaken!
And I plan on talking to you in person but I just wanted to enlighten other people about some of the things the bible says...not just small excerpts taken out of context :)
Im sorry if this offends anyone but its also something I needed to get off my chest
