All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Can we or should we date and marry unbelievers?
Relationships
The choice of a career path and of a lifetime partner are probably the two most important decisions (apart from salvation) that we ever make. Does the Bible offer us some guidance in the latter?
‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife’ Genesis 2:24.
When looking for a relationship, a Christian should always choose someone who shares their values, principles and faith. The Bible warns us not to date or marry an unbeliever. 2 Corinthians 6:14.
God has a good and great plan for your life. Don’t even date, let alone marry a non-believer. Some think that they can go out with someone who is not a Christian, without letting it get serious. You can’t stop yourselves falling in love in a long term relationship, so don’t make it harder on yourself and fall for the wrong one - don’t miss God's best!
People who have married non-believers find that they cannot share their walk with the Lord with their spouse. It causes them great pain – and they are not able to serve God properly, let alone enter into their destiny! Is that what you want for yourself?
If you are young, do you really think it is a good idea to go through several relationships? Do you really need the emotional hassle of constantly breaking up, whilst trying to deal with exams, work, parents, study and everything else? Does that lifestyle glorify God and help unity in your church/youth group?
A Christian should live to please God. When we do, then we are on the right track to experience the personal fulfilment and happiness desired by all.
Is your relationship a blessing or hindrance to you? Does this person help you get closer to God, or pull you away from Him? Are you straying near sexual sin? Is this relationship a bad distraction from study?
‘Can two walk together unless they are agreed?’ Amos 3:3.

Amen we cannot for when we do, we walk out of covernet and relationship with God yet one can be won over by the other in Christ by there deeds as one is in controll by the spirit of God in them, and if one does not accept you let them go and if they stay you have won them over in Christ in humility (Prov 20:24) All our steps are ordered by the LORD; how then can we understand our own ways? it is the Lord that will have the last say.

Hey bro,
A child of God should never, Ever, get involved in a relationship with an unbeliever. If a person comes to faith while with some one that is not Christian, they will have to truly seek God as to how to proceed, but many times we are best to let go of that relationship.
Are you saying that is ok to try to win an unbeliever to become a Chritian, so we can be with them? -

Indeed if our relationship the center is the Lord we can handle circumstances by his grace.We must obey God's command in not to be equally yoke with unbelievers especially for our life partner.I believe God is please when we choose the right person to be with which is a Godly man or woman.

No, personally I think we should not date unbeleivers cuz then we will be in two different accords. As the Bible says, "do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers". In the same vain, it says, "for what fellowship has light with darkness, or cleanness with uncleanness?" that alone should tell you that dating an unbeliever is a recipe for disaster. Lets be on the look out and gaurd our hearts.
