Being unequally yoked in marriage means that one spouse is walking in obedience to God and the other is not. This can become a source of contention that amplifies other marriage issues that can arise even in relationships when both spouses are both walking with God. This can be a painful situation to experience, but for anyone in this position there is hope and it starts with the spouse who knows God. The most important thing in a marriage with a spouse who doesn’t know God or isn’t obeying Him, is Salvation! The desire to see that spouse come to know and love God is more important than happily ever after!
In this week’s episode of Marriage After God we discuss some important details about being unequally yoked in marriage. We specifically give 4 Biblical tips for those who are married to a non-believer or a spouse who claims to be Christian but does not obey God’s Word and the power that person has to influence the other spouse’s life!
1. Get the right perspective. (3:02)
2. Don’t leave. (11:20)
3. Pray for them and yourself. (15:55)
4. Be an example. (21:42)
Scriptures we share include:
1 Corinthians 7:12-16 at (12:04)
1 Peter 3:1-2 at (23:07)
1 Peter 3:7 at (25:35)

Our role is to love them. God's role is to change them.
I know this comment is old, but it’s not a coincidence I’m seeing it now.
This is a really good point and I needed to see it, thank you 🙏
My husband doesn't believe... I pray for him and he likes it...he says "it's very nice", little by little ...God can do everything.
Yes I somewhat agree. However, it needs to come from the person. It needs to be on a deep level. In my family we have a couple. She is from a religious upbringing and background, he was not. He converted for her to Christianity so she would be able to marry him. He unfortunately passed away too early but there is no cross anywhere on the tombstone. A belief needs to be nurtured.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was walking around so lost in this world. 2 years ago. I walked into a church and felt the pastor was directly speaking to me. My marriage was failing and I was so lost. I have been non stop going to church, praying and joined a small group. My husband says it's not his thing. My prayer is for his salvation daily. The closer I get to God the more bad things are thrown at me. I won't stop believing and growing closer to my savior. Last night I finally got bold enough and asked my husband if I could pray over our marriage. He said yes. After praying he said that was nice, I pray for my endurance and strength to get through the stuff being thrown at our marriage. I pray my husband wont give up on our marriage. This video gives me so much hope.
Keep praying with your husband!!! Please. I'll pray for you right now. It's a beautiful thing. I'm encouraged to do the same.
Kate DeO hope things are better with your marriage and please keep in mind the most important thing is their salvation. Prayers to you and your husband
I completely am in support of you sister! I’ll include you in my prayers. I face a challenge much like your own. My husband is open but he is a non believer. I know if we trust in God and give it to Him all will fall in its rightful place. Do not burden your heart, just keep unwavering faith. Read the scriptures in times of doubt and take to your connection with Christ! 💝🙏🏽💯
@@Light_Shield_ what does that mean your husband is "OPEN?"
@@Daughter_of_the_King316 she means he is open to listen about Christ but not yet willing to dive into seeking Christ regularly.
Thank so much for sharing its been tough sometimes I feel my husband is draining me with his negativity I gotta get in the presence of God..
So hard
Praying for your strength
Patricia Loving MeHarris I’m in the same situation. Would like to chat to you about this if you can. I’m really struggling with my partner who is an atheist. 😢🙏💕✝️
Are you sure your not the negative war monger
Praying for you sister I know exactly what you are going thru if you would like to pray togeather for your husband and mine please feel free to message me
The hardest part is the entertainment he chooses. I feel like I can’t be in the same room.
Thank you for this message I have much work to do in my house. I have been thru so much in my home with my husband. We have started doing daily devotions with the kids and after prayin in the name of Jesus my husband after so long said Amen!!! My heart jumped for joy. He even asked me why Am I so kind why am I so loving to him after every he has done to me...I replied because I want you to see that Jesus lives in me.everyone from the outside looking in tells me to leave my husband and find someone in the church that loves God but I know that were serve a living God that does not operate in logic nor reality. Please pray that I will remain steadfast and strong that my house will be filled with peace and my husbands soul will be saved❤️
Amen ❤
pray for endurance for myself, peace, joy when my husband is far from God. Lord I need more power and strength. I dont want to loose heart. Thank yall for the word. I need this
Needed this 🥺
Did you come to God after marriage?
Trust in God’s faithfulness. I pray for your strength in Jesus’s name
Praying for you today. May the Lord comfort you in your time of need. May the Lord be your husband Isaiah 54:5 . May you have peace. May the Lord bless your marriage in Jesus name. May a turn around take place for God's glory. I'm Jesus name.
My husband won’t even talk to me about anything that has to do with Christianity. He shuts me down and says “I don’t want to talk about that”
It’s so frustrating. Even if I’m just sharing something that interests me. He thinks I’m trying to push my “religion” onto him, but really I’m just sharing what I’m learning or whatever.
His heart is so hard.
Please pray for us. I don’t feel strong enough for this 😟
I googled unequally yoked and saw this video because I was having exactly the same problems u are having. I will pray for u and for your husband to have his heart open to the Lord.
God will use your marriage for His glory.. don't give up.
My husband it’s a Muslim and he calls me fanatic, he tells me the bible is a lie, and corrupted, he tells me I am a ignorant believing I’m Jesus as god and the trinity also called me blasphemy for saying that Jesus it’s god! He is soo arrogant thinking that he knows everything….. I can’t sometimes it’s not easy because you feel they want to take you away from what you believe I feel at time stumbling in my faith 😢
Has it gotten better? How are you and your husband doing?
@@Rosiefacesmile the problem is that he tells me I am fanatic and the religion it’s the problem and there has been very disrespectful words that we both tell each other. We have pass the boundaries of respect because I cannot keep quiet anymore of what he called me.
I grew up watching this in my parents, my mom was on fire for Jesus and my dad was lukewarm in his walk, and I watched how much my mom suffered praying for my dad to be saved. She still prays 30 years later.
Now I am married and in the same situation with my husband, I recently went through a dark period and became born again. My husband doesn't object when I pray out loud with our two girls, but I find myself being wary of how much I talk about and bring up Jesus. It's a really hard balance to know when my husband is being receptive to me bringing up the Word and when to just pray and let God work in his heart.
Maybe the reason God gave you the parents he did was so that you could witness your mothers faith in Him and her desire to pray for her husband, knowing you’d need the same strength! I’ll keep you in my prayers!!💕
I can attest to this as well. All those years ago I thought my mom was crazy for constantly praying for my dad. Well...she wasn't it took about 20 something years but it happened. My Dad gave his life to Christ and because my mom didn't give up now he is rejoicing in Heaven. Only if I can get my mom's perseverance and dedication for my husband's salvation.
I am in a similar situation, my husband accepts my faith and is very supportive of it, for me, but wants nothing to do with it himself. I am scared to "preach" to him because frankly I know that did more harm than good with me for many years of my sister preaching the gospel to me. I had a serious problem with God before Jesus saved me. I don't want to turn my husband's heart from Jesus by being a self-righteous pain in the backside.
I just know that God did not place me in this marriage for me to be saved and my husband go to Hell. Whatever happens it won't be anything I say, it'll be the Holy Spirit doing the ministering. All I have to do is walk the walk and not be afraid of doing the wrong thing because God can turn anything to the good of those who love him.
I am glad I wrote this, I think this was just the pep talk I myself needed tonight.
My husband believes but He isnt active. I feel like he only interested in the Word that validates how I need to be a Good Godly wife to him but he dont focus on His part and uphold his part as a Godly Husband.
Me too. I share the same experience. I would like to know, since this type of treatment is a form of abuse, how to still walk in love while believing in restoration for my marriage, yet not enable poor emotional treatment at the same time. Is that possible? I love my husband and his culture and upbringing never showed him how to love His wife God's way. I'm praying for his heart and I want to be an example of God's perfect love to him. I also just don't want my attempts to be in vain.
I understand how you feel. Just keep operating in your office as a wife. Keep praying for him, only God has the power to change people. I believe he'll be better
It’s not your husband it’s Satan using your husband to discourage you. If your husband says something against you that is true...thank him for pointing it out so you can repent and allow Jesus to change you. If what he says is not true, then say get behind me satan! 😂 The enemy wants to cause conflict. Your husbands antichrist spirit (rebellion, pride, strife) will not allow him to seek truth from Gods word to correct him edify him or encourage him. He needs Jesus! You already have Jesus so you are stronger than he is. You have self control from the Holy Spirit to not react to any of fiery darts the enemy uses him to throw at you. He is broken. You are restored. Pray for him and surrender your marriage to God.
I hear that my wife is into the world but knows the word well. Devil attacking the marriage we are close
Helen Yochum thanks so much for this reminder xx
This was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. My spouse was a believer who after six years of marriage left the things of God. That was four years ago & it has been the most challenging & difficult time in our marriage but by the grace of God a month ago the results of much fasting & prayer were seen! My husband of his own requested that our pastor disciple him & help him get back on track. We have a long road but I have faith that God will finish the work that was started 12 years ago in my husband’s heart. Never give up! Persevere. The Lord is good to those who take refuge in Him.
That is happy news
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m currently walking this journey and it has been difficult at times. But God is drawing me closer to him through this!
Caitlin O'Neal I have been too.
Amen. Run under His wing and grab ahold, as you are doing. He is the Strong Tower, no matter what we face.
Never give up, God will do all He promises and get you through stronger and build your Trust in Him.
He has a plan, and does take our toughest tests and reward us with more of Him.
I didn't want to take anything away from this posting, just adding sometimes you don't have , "normal " problems like someone doesn't pick up their clothes.
Sometimes, it's a from the pit of hell mutitude of issues that take special counsel and covering. If that's you, don't get frustrated or feel misunderstood, just get praying and God will send you folks who can handle extreme situations. Not everyone can. That's okay.
Caitlin O'Neal It can be so wearing, but God will give you grace to endure. Be persistent, my husband still has worldly strongholds and my prayers are now as was mentioned in the beginning of this message ,”God let me see my spouse through Your eyes, “ and He is so faithful. We are rebuilding through prayer. 38 years together and we’re stronger than ever. God Bless you and your faithfulness, In Christ, Karen
caitlin, nothing difficult. give up your silly superstition in invisible friends. your husband is real.
God definitely lead me here early this morning.. I was and still am a bit weary from the issues with my marriage. God showed me yesterday a side of my husband that hurt me so much. God allowed me to see this .. God allowed me to feel the uncomfortableness of a situation I was in too push me to pray for him. I asked God months ago to give me a burden for my unbelieving spouse.. because I had been passive about his salvation. He has such a disdain for Christianity and anything involving God.. that I just halfhearted excepted his fate. Terrible position to be in.. So I praise God for this morning because after all the hurt and pain I felt.. bitterness..rage.. I cried out to God I don’t want to feel this way!!! He lead me to repentance for doing things my way and tearfully sought him for help.. and it lead me to this video! God is so good..merciful.. just amazing. God allowed me to feel all the uncomfortableness for a reason! His ways are not our ways. He is going to get glory either way.. but he is using me as the wife to pray for my husband and watch God do a great work ! Please keep the Gwynn family in prayer 🙏🏾
Omg. I just stumbled upon your page. I needed this. My husband’s heart is so hard right now. He tells me that he doesn’t want to be married anymore, but hasn’t made any steps to file for divorce. He is being unfaithful, and it hurts. But i still continue to pray for his salvation and for God to restore our marriage.
how are you now? im currently going to file for divorce and its very difficult when we have been together 10 yrs and have 2 children
@@happypiano8397 I pray the Lord sustains you sister..its soo hard..im going through the same thing..May Jesus answer your prayers
I layed my hand on my husband's shoulder and said to him, "Be born again in the name of Jesus." and he's been believing God has a plan for his life since I did that. He still drinks n smokes too much but I believe he's quit some day. I just keep praying for his spiritual maturity.
Sisters, speak with authority over your marriages! Speak Gods Word - me and my husband are one flesh, what God put together nothing can separate! I command you devil stay away from my husband and my marriage! I come against divorce, separation, unforgiveness, unbelief! Remember, resist the devil and he will flee from your marriage. I experienced it and God is so faithful, I know I am the winner in Christ! I don’t let any negative words about our marriage to come out from my lips. I speak blessings, life, love over our marriage! Our war not against flesh, but against spirits! So keep loving and caring your husband. Plant God’s Word into your conversation, print and put on the wall ! Faith comes by hearing the Gods Word. Pray that Father will speak to him through other born again people of Kingdom.
This video is exactly what I needed to hear. I was already getting thoughts of leaving him. But hearing you guys say don’t leave. Really hit home for me. It’s so hard but I’m going to keep running to God and having faith and hope that this will change.
Thanks for this message. I have been struggling with this. My husband has never believed. I have been in church my whole life but had gotten away from it for many years got into an addiction. I decided to rededicate my life to God & was delivered from my addiction! Praise God!! The problem is my husband seems almost jealous of my relationship with God and often threatens I better not change too much. This is not the woman he got with he says and even mocks God calling Him “my Little buddy”!!! This is hurting our relationship and I am struggling to know what to do. I try to be an example of Christ but I definitely do not because I get angry and then we fight! Please pray for God to give me direction in this matter. Thanks
Totally Tonya Vlogs very similar situation with me. May I suggest Total Forgiveness, a book by RT Kendall. I have such love and peace for him, totally forgive all so that all our sins can be forgiven. I feel set free even though he hasn’t changed. On a side note, after much prayer about our marriage woes,
I opened the Bible and there in Isaiah 54 it says, « I will be your husband. ». God is our husband- our provider and protector. So even if our earthly husband won’t step up, our heavenly husband has got us secure in his righteous right hand. Keep forgiving, keep loving and keep praying! Obey God in all things and He will bless you with peace and joy.
I'm sorry 😔,Stay encouraged, keep walking in the Spirit,Paul was a murderer,All things are possible with God,Seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit 🙏♥️
Your video was sent to me from God. I am unequivocally yoked. My husband is affected with false pride. This has affected our happiness. I realize that God is necessary in every marriage and instead of worrying about him, I’m learning to hand it over God.
I’m married to a nonbeliever and I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I pray daily for my husband and I pray through my journaling. I pray I can be an example to him so he can see Jesus in my heart.
andrea, be glad he is not an idiot and believes in fairy tales and imaginary friends. you pray for him, he thinks for you. a fair trade.
@@louiscyfer6944 don't be a hater.
I’ve been struggling with all of this for a while now and this helped me immensely. Thank you so much for allowing God to work through you both to help others around the world. May God bless you both!
I also want to say that it may be important that if a you are in a relationship that is abusive, it is important to be safe. I don't want anyone to think they need to stay if they are being abused. Be safe, mentally and physically. I loved this video, but being abused is not ok. (Jenn and Aaron, this isn't a critic on the video, just something that is also important. Love what you guys are doing!)
Crystal Awsum agree
Absolutely!
Absolutely right. When there’s trust broken and the other person just plays around and no repentance then it’s time for separation .
Thank you so much for this! I am dealing with this and it’s becoming so heavy on my marriage and my heart. This gave me the encouragement to stay faithful and persistent!
My husband appears to be running and angry with God. He no longer attends church, but allows worship in the home and will listen. However over 5 years since he has attended church. We have a lot of interference in our marriage and his mother and family don’t respect boundaries or the change that come with marriage. My husband has not completed the leave and cleave phase. They encourage him to divorce and to avoid the pressures, he wants out instead of standing up to family and friends. Yes, when your spouse is not walking or doesn’t know the Lord, heartbreak is sure to come. I’ve become numb and many times ready to give up. I hang on by a thread. Glory be to God, I do see small signs of hope, but then the attacks come from the in laws. Have mercy Lord!
I'm in a very similar situation now
So encouraging my husband is saved (i think ) he does go church w me but he doesn’t walk in scripture that much . But he has change some over 10 yr of marriage he use to not go church and made it hard me for going I’ve learn to walk out 1 peter 3 and not nag or preach to him .
I have prayed that you would cover this topic even though it's not a battle you personally share. Thank you for pointing to Scripture as our guide.
Thank you for the time you put into your message. It’s very encouraging.
I love the explanation of the Right and wrong perspective. I darn near wrote in my notes word for word. I had to rewatch that part like 10 times lol. Thank Yall for sharing.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing.. I truly needed this. I am encouraged & will come back to this for further encouragement.
Thank you for this, I needed this confirmation and courage to not give up and pray for my unbelievaing husband
Thank you guys for putting the time into this even though it's not a part of your marriage. It was encouraging, Much love! ✌🏼
Everytime I feel like everything is getting too much I watch this video. Thank you so much for this video. It keeps me going.
Good coping strategy
Thank you! I'm grateful and blessed with this message, and it's exactly what I feel in my spirit
Thank you both so much for this video. I’m a Christian woman living with an atheist man and my struggle is real and very hard. I love him but I need prayers for his salvation please. I’m 44 and he’s 51 and we are very happy but the fact he is really anti christ atheist it’s really wearing me down. 😢 please pray for his salvation. Please do more videos on this topic. Really need help and to communicate with others in this situation. Please can you connect me with similar people struggling with this so that we can help encourage one another. Thank you and Godbless you both. Amen 🙏💕✝️
Hey I'm going through the same thing. My spouse seems like he is scared to outright say he is atheist but he says he has "mixed beliefs". The more we talk about it the more questions he has against the bible that I feel like I cannot give a good enough answer too because I am not all knowing like god. I pray that god is working on him and I have to trust that he is. There might be something going on that I dont even know about. Pray for my family and I will pray for yours.
@@kaseycorliss7282 Bruh just leave him alone
I needed this I’m going through this right now. Thank you! This is the best news i could get from anyone
Thank you for this. My husband believes in God but doesn't trust him. He has a lot of trust issues due to a hard life growing up. I pray that the Holy Spirit can heal these hurt areas inside of them.
Thank God for you both.
Wonderful message.
Especially loved hearing you speaking about prayer
My wife is an agnostic leaning towards atheism, it's so hard when I'm trying to lead my family in a godly manner. I want a Godly wife so bad.
I understand you. I am Christian and i married my wife and thought she was a believer for years, until her actions and ways started to reveal the truth. That she even herself thought she was a Christian but really she didnt know Christ. It does cause major problems in life. When somone has not read the Bible and does not know God. It can take its toll. To me there are only two roads to take. Either convert them to the truth, which can take years or there may have to be a seperation or division.
@@metaiv9527My mission is to convert her but it's a tough road. Thank you for your words of advice and I hope God works in your relationship as well.
@@slowbotdrone Thank you. Its a very very hard road. Because the problem is you can only plant a seed you cannot make it grow. I am still going through it even now. My wife is the opposite of what the Bible says a wife should be. Shes contentious, Shes yells and trys to usurp authority over me constantly and she just does not understand that without understanding Gods order and following it then their will always be problems and arguing and the house will be divided and fall. Then theres the other issue that anybody that does not know Jesus Christ is subject to the devil by default. So now i also have experienced attacks from Satan through my wife because she doesnt have the truth. It gets deep and its an extrememly hard road. Please pray for me and my wife to know the truth because i am at the verge of giving up. We have veen together for 9 years and married for 7. We have 2 children also and our house is divided by Satan and ready to fall.
My husband used to be active in the church as an officer and since he started hanging out with co-workers that keep on telling him that religion is just about money, he started drifting away from his faith and seeing all negatives with members and the church and religion in general. He hasn't been going to church for almost 5 years now and since then I didn't see him pray, much worse even telling my son to decide on his own whenever I encourage my son not to forsake worship service. I am totally devastated. I want a God fearing husband so bad...
I have an unbelieving spouse . It’s a very painful walk. I find my joy in Jesus. Some days I walk in sadness and come back to Jesus’ feet . He’s the only stable thing in this world. Our happiness cannot be found in our spouses. They will fail us. Cling to Jesus always friends. 💕It’s not an easy walk , but God will give you the strength to walk through it. Persevere!
Thank you Lord for this word. Am so encouraged. May God continue to bless both of you and your marriage!
Thank you so much for sharing this. My husband is a believer but has never done the 'die to self' part, as well as the fact that he can be very unkind to me. 😢 We recieved a prophecy over our marriage years ago that our marriage would grow to be an example for others, so I'm believing for that. It's ridiculously hard tho !! Thankyou again.
Testimony: I kept passing this video & I was not interested in watching it. Well it kept popping up on the top as a suggestion. So, I decided to watch it. God is so good. He know exactly what we need & gives it to us at his appropriate time. I'm in a Toxic Relationship. I left the Toxic Environment by moving with my Mom. I still live at my House too because my Husband is a Long haul Truck Driver so, I live at my Mom's & I live at our house when his on the Road. I left the Toxic Relationship but I have not left my Husband. He has a Personality Disorder maybe Narcissist or Bipolar. He has not being diagnosed because he refuses to go get help. His smokes weed that helps regulate his emotions & mood, he watches pornagraphy, his had affairs, his verbally abusive & at times has been physically abusive. I'm not perfect & I too have fall short. I had to create a space away physically because of the abuse. I had to set those boundaries. I go visit him & at times stay with him but if it's starts going left & his getting aggressive, I walkway & leave. I'm praying for him asking God to remove that heart of stone, fasting, being a friend to him but nothing, no change. So, at times I wonder if I should let go, quit & through in the towel. But, then the enemy would win. And,I remember how Jesus lives the 99 and goes after the 1 that got out & is lost. That's my Husband, I remember God is out trying to bring him back. I remember my Husband is God's Son, his Sheep. And, this is a War I'm part of. Not, a War against my Husband but again the Principalities of the Evil one. It's a War for My Husband's Freedom & Soul. That's why, I left the Battlefield of the Toxic Relationship but I have not Left my Husband because his Freedom is the most important thing. Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear that, to stay in. To ask God for Endurance. Because, Im tired & at times I tell myself " What are you doing Tania, His not going to change. It might be the Enemy telling me that but I definitely entertain that thought. But, God is so good, he then gives me this Wonderful video you guys put together and he helps me remember to stay in, keep enduring, keep fighting on your knees for your Husband's Freedom. Thank you so much. Sorry for the long comment just wanted to share how God is so good.
I started listening and I was at first frustrated because I was looking to hear from people who have lived experienced bc its tempting to think you dont know what it's like but as I listened more I was so encouraged! Thank you
Nothing you go thru is new to God
This is awesome! Exact Holy Spirit download that I needed.
I never really understood what “unequally yoked” meant, I am sure living in the middle of the yoke now. My husband gave me hope when we were dating that he was very interested in having a relationship with God.
Now 2 years later, I find myself regretting and feeling broken as my husband belittles, mocks, contradicts and hides the fact of his porn obsession. I feel robbed since he treats me different and disrespectfully. My husband doesn’t care that he has crushed my heart. I have brought my feelings and heart him but he just makes a mockery of what I am trying to express. I feel so ugly and unwanted. I have never withheld my love from him, physically or emotionally. I serve him and take care of him willing and lovingly but he doesn’t want to treat me the way I need to be treated. My heart is crushed, frustrated and need help to know what to do.
I will take this study ..... and pray for guidance.
So sorry,
we need prayer group for husband,
We can't just cut them off,
but we need intercessory for these husband's...it's a cross to bare!!
GOD HELP US IN JESUS NAME 🙏
2020 needed to hear this! Thank you
It’s so very hard when my husband is very very nonbeliever I really made huge mistake for marry nonbeliever, I still love him but I’m really wish I had married a Christian in the first place. I lose my relationship with God everyday
how so?
Hello Angie, I am sorry to know that you are going through a hard time. Something I wanted to share with you is there is a real enemy in this world and he is trying his best to use a weaker person who is spiritually blinded to affect your relationship with God, take authority for you are a child of God and bind the negative thoughts he keeps bringing in your mind daily. That’s a strategy to overcome all negativity and look at the weaker person as spiritually blind and pray effectively. You are precious to God and your identity is secure in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour
Sanjana I would such better relationship with God Then I would have know to find a man Of God. I still Love Him it’s so hard to explain thing to him why I want to do thing and have to keep getting him upset. That’s all
Sabrina Immaraju thank you for the Great encouragement i will try.
Thank you for this message. Such an encouragement, as always!
Amen
Thank you so much!!!! This has been incredibly encouraging! Praise the Lord 🙌🏽♥️ God bless you!!
Def ministering to my life right now. Bless n appreciate you guys. Marriage is my heart
Oh my God! I have my answer to my burden. Thank the Lord! I knew in my heart I should wait it out and pray for my Husband. Thank you both for making this video. The Holy Bible always has the answer. What an uplifting answer at that! I’m so grateful and honored to be given such a journey! Amen 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for letting God use u, as vessel to build His church. GOD has confirmed who my husband is and at the moment he is an unbeliever, through yr counsel i now understand my ministry in our marriage.
Wow thank you so much. Wonderful points and the endurance thing is so vital
Thank you so much for sharing your advice with us
I have shared it with friends and I also have shared it on Facebook
It sure encouraged me
It’s a blessing
Thankyou God for using them, great job guys ❤️
Loved this teaching 😊❤️💯
Thank you for sharing something biblical encouragement on this even though you haven't walked it. I've been struggling I was saved and my husband is not. So this was encouraging.
May God bless you, this is great work!❤
Your voices are so gentle and soothing, both of you! I’m divorced but my ex and I are friends now. We are both believers but he is in a state where his heart is getting cold because of the circumstances in his life. He is seeking God but is struggling. There’s nothing that I can do about it but just back him up with prayers and encouragements. It’s not my job to change his heart, but God’s. Thanks for sharing this video!
Excellent broadcast and a message of hope for marriage. Thank you.
You also gave me such clarity and peace about the fact that I did all i could but that I have no shame or guilt because I couldn't change my husband's heart
Wow I needed this thank u so much . I feel so discouraged when ppl tell me is not going to workout that God has a better man I can glorify God with . This is so goood thank u🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You tell them God HATES divorce,and we are bound to our spouses until death do us part,We are not to remarry if your spouse is still living and breathing,I know it's HARD ,trust me I've been through the wringer with my husband,BUT I TRUST God,He knew there wld be troubles and extreme difficulties in marriage,suit up sister,you gonna have to battle for your marriage/ family,God is with you,He wants your spouse saved and delivered even more than you! Pray for strength,God bless you
@@denisejackson776 he doesn't like divorce yes but there are times that he allows it without holding it against us. If a partner is being unfaithful then yes , or in my case with my first husband he was very abusive to me and our kids to the point of almost killing us , that is also something he sees okay with leaving your spouse for. He would never want you in a situation where your life is at risk. I've also remarried and a lot of people see things differently on remarrying after a divorce but when you know it's God led you know it's right .
Im seeing him be given over to a reprobate mind. My stomach is in knots. Hes making it so hard to just focus on Jesus. Hes making so many obstacles. Lord have mercy
I enjoyed this. Thank you. Bless you both xx
Thank you for this video. I have read your book. It is hard, but God gets me through. Again thank you❤️
Thank you for this message, it's right on time. God bless.
Loved this. Thank you
Hi guys, I just want to say, that this message, really blessed me, I am not married, but Desire to, I have been lately just studying the word concerning marriage, you guys delivery was so helpful, and so humble, You truly see the love of Christ on you, I Love you my brother and Sister, May God continue to use you both, Thank you for the word of God. Great content.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I really enjoyed it.
So glad!
I really feel god bought me to this video. So needed to hear this. I'm going to keep watching this. Im very newly saved so a huge change for my partner... Corinthians verse was a wow for me. Praise God for saving me and bringing me here. I so want to be an example and show the power of god. He's atheist so has been very difficult. I'm working not only on my salvation but my whole family. 🙏🙏
I’m the believer in my marriage, and it gets so hard to keep strength in fighting for my marriage.
Our assignment is our husband and family. Remember Satan wants them he will use them to get you off your assignment of standing in the gap through prayers and intercession on their behalf. We are in this together
So beautiful, Praise God!
Wow. I really needed to hear this. It has been a struggle in my life and in my faith. I have been praying for God to soften my heart again after losing my way. I have been needing strength to hold us both up. God gave me clarity and revealed to me that it’s not the fact that my husband will never change because of what I may believe but the fact that I need to trust in God by his word that He can change his heart because he is true. Then right after I heard that @28:00 your wife asked what would you say to those wife or husbands who have an unbelieving spouse and your response was exactly what God just revealed to me. He called me to share this with you. So many emotions right now. Please pray for me, to be able to have the strength to continue an intimate relationship with God and show my husband how the gospel changed me for the better..
You both have no idea how much of a help this is to all women dealing with a situation as such including me . Thankyou. God bless u both . Also it would be really helpful if you could help us on how to pray for an unbelieving spouse . Thanks once again .. from the bottom of my heart ..
So grateful I ran into this video. I have been going through it with my husband. To the point where I am nearly losing hope. What stood out here was, the piece on “Perspective”. I have been so focused on my own perspective that I really did not think about God’s perspective. I have been focused on being hurt and wanting my husband to love me the way God intended him to love me.
The only thing that has kept me going is that I see my husband through the lens of Christ. However, it was almost as if I gave myself limitations. I knew his salvation is what is most important, but I never thought of it being more important than our marriage. Another thing that stood out here was God wanting my holiness VS my happiness.
I have so much to work on. I have let my situation and how my husband treats me harden my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this.
GOD BLESS your 1ness... For your 1ness has helped me in my Marriage

Great video, thanks!!! God Bless..
Thank you so much for your Devine advice😊
This is sooooo good because my husband is a believer but not working the word and as a result at times it caused me to act not cool towards him or not content. We really got into it over the weekend and after me fasting and praying and praying trying to figure 1 Corinthians 6:12 out this video has really given revelation to my behavior for him being as he is so thank you for this video I appreciate it 🧘🏽♀️🙏🏾💫
Thank you. Its hard.
Thank you for making this video. I keep on asking for the guidance of the Lord related to this matter. I felt blessed by your discussion that we can still Honor God without breaking the marriage. It might be hard, since this is the life we chose, but thru prayers and daily devotions, praying we can surpass the conflicts and disagreements.
Thank you so much for this message
Thank you so much. I'm so grateful to find this. God must have sent me right to it.
Thank you for this.
Wow the connection marriage and the gospel....I don't think I've thought of it that way so deeply and it really gives me hope that I've been needing. My spouse he's a nonbeliever who has a addiction to porn and alcohol, I know Jesus is all he needs. Thank you for this video. I know I just need to let God do his work.
I thank God for this video!!
This is really encouraging to me. I am the believer in my marriage. My husband has walked away from God. I'm honestly having a hard time praying for my husband. After four years of seeing no change, it is hard. I don't want to leave, but my family is pressuring me too. It's exhausting to stand strong. I needed to watch this today. Thank you for making this video. Please pray for us, if you feel led too. Truly, I'm struggling but I love my husband so much.
You are not alone sister, i have been going through the same as yourself, and i totally understand how hard it is for you to go on believing and standing strong in faith, and praying for him etc, im also going through this as well., and its quite heartbreaking...but what else can we do, except pray and hope in His unfailing love... I pray for you, may the Lord Jesus strengthens you and comforts you in your distress, may He lifts you up in His Holy Spirit, and uphold you with His righteous right hand. May He wipe your tears and embrace you in His compassion, may He surround you with His peace and love
We are in the same situation. I know it is hard. I pray that we stay strong and someday God will answer our prayer.
How is it today? Hope all is well
My husband believes in God and gave his life to Jesus however he has a difficult time leading me spiritually, I remind him to pray together and read scripture together. I love him but he acts faithless, when tough situations happens he doesn't pause and pray but gets angry, and wants to revenge on others. He doubts God often and is weary during all the trials we go through. I pray for him everyday and I encourage him but im getting drained trying to lift him up. I really need prayers and encouragement 🙏 Thanks for sharing biblical wisdom. God bless you both in Jesus name amen
God bless you guys and taking a step to preach the gospel to other brother's/Sister's in Christ The Lord won't forget this contribution to his kingdom and neither will I
Thank you for this video.
Thank you. Hearing ‘God cares for your spouse more than you do’ helps a lot. I think the bad thought was to focus on ‘too bad, you’ve married a nonbeliever, it’s your mistake and you can never fix it.’
thanks guys..this video helped out
Thank you so so much for this
This video has helped me many times over the years and I was brought back to it again today, after awhile, in a divine way. Thank You Lord!
Also, to both of you. Your daily prayers sent to my email are almost always an on time prayer and Word and so helpful.
For others who are standing or in difficult marriages, unequally yoked, have wayward or prodigal spouses etc, Lovely Wives of Faith CZcams page is a huge source of encouragement, strength and extremely powerful prayers.
They are for marriage restoration but most importantly, the salvation of our spouses. It is the Holy Spirit that will cause them to love and treat us the way the Bible and Father wants them to. We must never give up but stand for His promises. Jesus has already won the battle!
Hugs and blessings to all who are in difficult marriages. I know how hard it can and often is but don’t give up. Better days are coming! Praying for you all. 🙏🏼
Me and my husband to be have been together for over 3 years we have a son and I became a Christian a few months ago and hes not Christian. We're about to be married in one week. I have such great anxiety about this very topic. I've been praying for peace, by today it's overwhelming, I had a mini panic attack while making my wedding cake, I just froze there in my kitchen and it became hard to breathe. Someone please pray for me.
Praying for you. I truely believe that God has put you in a position to be a personal witness, to be a pilar of salt in your family and a light illuminating God's love. God will use you to reach your family. Have faith, be a good example, show how amazing it is to experience God's love, and pray pray pray. Keep God close wkth everything you've got. Its all part of His plan.
@@ela8826 thank you for your words of encouragement
This is a powerful episode!! Thank you, for giving me a fresh perspective and to not give up and keep patiently trying with God’s help. ... I also would like to know if you know any of the boundaries that the lady use in her marriage or any other, I would like to be biblical and wise with boundaries and how to implement them.. you guys have any ideas?? Thanks again for all you do to help other marriages. God will continue to bless you.
Amen!!!!! Thank you for your sharing.
thank you for this!
Crumble that’s a wonderful word that’s a feeling lately. 16 years
Hardest not to crack is the one next to me, don’t ever mention God to me again he says. Just watching this video makes me sad for us. Y’all are so blessed.
I am so sorry you are dealing with and loving an unbeliever. It is so difficult and life sucking to the point of utter brokenness. Nancy my brother was a unbeliever and it wasn’t until his health started to fail that her surrendered and accepted Christ. Keep praying love, I’m thinking of you. My spouse isn’t a believer either, I know your struggle.
Keep me in your prayers. My spouse says he is saved, however he is very negative, anxious, and critical at most times. He rarely wants to pray with me or have Bible studies with me or anyone. He doesn't like church. He will mock or make fun of me or other Christian's. He gets angry when I mention anything spiritual even when's it's spiritual or uplifting. I feel seriously hurt and traumatized by this....he spends so much time on everything else but no time for the Lord and resents me when my answer to all out problems is to turn your eyes to see he Lord. He says I judge him but I just tell him if he would submit to God he would feel differently about life. That God would give him peace. He says I'm forcing it on him. I tell him you say your saved but not actively seeking God. I pray so much but feel lonely in my marriage spiritually we are not united...it's to painful. I have faith...but it hurts to be criticized for my walk with God.
God bless you keep your eyes on the lord no matter what
I'm in the exact situation now, last night he finally broke down and told me he doesn't believe in anything anymore and God, the bible, hell, it's all "silly" and he was essentially just going through the motions to keep me. I'm not leaving, Lord willing he will change his mind
I'm going through this. My husband says he's a Christian, goes to church, but there's little to no fruit. Many times, he is cussing before he leaves the church parking lot. He mocks me for my walk with the Lord. For example, he says that because I don't drink alcohol I'm over the top radical and brainwashed by my church, I'm no fun anymore, I'm judgemental, etc. He says God is not worried about someone having a few drinks. He has more than a few drinks. My whole family thinks I'm overly religious and no fun anymore.
I'm the only one walking out my faith. If it wasn't for my church family I don't know what I'd do. I look at all of the married couples in my church and almost feel like an outcast because they all seem equally yoked and they probably aren't judging me, but I feel like I am a loner. Still. ..I know God and I'd choose this over my former life every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I'm going to keep growing with God. No turning back.
I layed my hand on my husband's shoulder and said to him, "Be born again in the name of Jesus." and he's been believing God has a plan for his life since I did that. He still drinks n smokes too much but I believe he's going to quit some day. I just keep praying for his spiritual maturity.
I found this looking for help. I'm back on track 👣 now bless you for this video bless you all who are in the same boat 🙏🙌
