I have had a few unequally yoked relationships. The men pretended to be believers but they weren't. They were attracted to me & were faking it. All I can say is the relationships were destructive & soul crushing. A day & nightmare. I thank God for providing escape. Mark, keep praying. I'm equally yoked to this dear brother in Christ. He's consistently approaching me. Showing genuine interest. He's taking it slow as he's very prudent. He wants to be clear to court me. Things are working out beautifully. I have peace.

Above all, it is worth obeying the word of God. No matter how hard it seems, it’s always better to please God. 🙏🏽❤️

Without God we are nothing, without Christ we are nothing 🤴🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

The feeling of loneliness when I was single felt better than this crushing heartache I have after breaking up with an unbeliever...I wish I could go back to before I met him. Choose wisely. Thank you so much for this video Mark.

I had an unequally yoked relationship, but we eventually drifted apart because she was of a different religion and had other issues. I learned that only God can provide the right person, not a dating site.

I married a man who was not born again. I disobeyed God. The marriage broke down very quickly and by 18months the marriage was over. It’s taken almost 20years to overcome the trauma of being rejected and crushed. The supernatural enemy attacked me physically and mentally as the marriage broke, I needed deliverance and psalm 23 was my scripture of hope. In short the experience nearly killed me as I felt so ill afterwards. Jesus rescued me and cupped me in His hands bringing me back to life. I really wouldn’t advise marrying a non believer as the implications are detrimental spiritually, physically and mentally. Praise God for His mercy. 20years later I’m on fire for God, but Oh boy what a journey I’d rather have not gone on 😢

It was the year 2000. I couldn’t shake my unequally yoked relationship until all chaos had ensued. It was life changing and devastating. The consequences still linger to this day. 😞

Unbelief repels his presence. That explains a lot.

I never do this but I need prayers so bad. I have no friends where I live, no romantic prospects and my family is not walking with God. I am so sick of my season of isolation, and I just signed another lease across town. I am currently in Virginia, and have no idea whether to stay here or go back to Los Angeles next year. Please pray God gives me comfort and clarity with which way to go over this next year.

I have dated a few guys I shouldn’t have. I had to wait but God did bring a man who is equally yoked. I cannot explain the peace and joy that comes with it. It is worth the wait. And yeah, for a long time, I did not understand it either when I would hear people say that.

[sbabyruth]

Amen 🙏🏽 I learned this the only way I could. I had to grow through it. I thank God and ask him to continually to keep me and my husband hidden until his perfect timing.

I think the root of the problem that needs to be addressed is why is a believer of Christ so attracted to an unbeliever to the point they are considering a relationship or even marriage with them?

I know this from my own experience and it can be a lot of reasons why a believer finds themselves in this situation. Personally, I was living a compromised life as a Christian and I didn’t truly desire a godly Christian man. Therefore, I was attracting and attracted to unbelievers. When God renewed my heart, I no longer desired to be with anyone who didn’t belong to the Lord. In any case, it’s definitely a red flag within the believer’s heart and they should seek wise counsel from other believers before an attachment forms between the believer and the unbeliever.

I thought he was Christian. Seven months of leading me towards marriage, then TOTALLY changing. :( I really tried to chose someone who was healthy, wanted to serve God, loved me, and get married and have children. I was deceived. Heartbreaking. Please pray for me... I'm struggling

[karinteeples]

This should be a no~brainer. Seriously! It’s sin. True freedom only comes from pure obedience to what God asks of us. Trust Him. Trust His plan for you. Don’t take over the control you’ve laid down presently. 🔥🙌🏻

[mattmallecoccio]

I've had almost relationships where the woman was not faking, but was trying to make me the point of the relationship, and so she would go to church with me just to be with me. Jesus Christ is always the point and both I and my future gf/spouse, if God blesses me in that way should be in love with God first and foremost. Especially me.

You can still be unequally yoked with a Christian/believer as they can be some of the worst people. Also 1 Corinthians says otherwise in the letters from Paul. Let God decide what is best.

[JesseMercer-ls]

I firmly believe in premarital counseling with the church. Just because you are both Christian doesn’t mean that you should get married. If you have nothing in common with each other it probably isn’t going to change and you will not be happy with this person which could lead to all kinds of problems that could lead to divorce

[amiejackson]

LORD l refuse to be unequally yoked GOD I RECIEVE THE BOAZ YOU HAVE FOR ME YOUR VERY VERY BEST FOR ME

[siuzannavyshneva]

Absolutely agree! In four days I'm turning thirty-one, and I went from being in love with a narcissist to being interested in a co-worker to realising at the age of thirty that God never wanted me in a relationship for this entire lifetime. Whatever the days God has for me and however many they are, He gave me the Holy Spirit as my sole companion, and I wholeheartedly believe that I have the gift of singleness for two reasons: bad karma from previous lifetime, specifically in relation to men, and the fact that I will bring more glory to God remaining celibate. The gift of singleness is doing so much good for me in this lifetime, because it gradually brings my negative karma back to zero and it gives me more quality time with God. I realised that I was only meeting unbelievers because God was leading me to stay single and not get away from His plan for me. He wants to redeem me, and for that He led me to realise the truth of the story that I am. God bless everyone to know it like they know it like they know it! Amen.
