Thank you for visiting this site. The 2 Cor 6:14 reference is frequently used to apply to couples considering marriage, where one is a Christian and the other not a Christian practicing believer. I believe that when it comes to weather it applies to two Christians who happen to be on different “levels” in their spiritual walk, you may get different answers from different people.

I have heard of testimonies where one who is not a consistent Christian, marries a preacher’s daughter, for example, then he becomes a pastor and they later live a life together where they minister to many people. Then I have also heard of stories of two CHristians getting married, where one is a stronger Christian than the other, but later on starts to adapt to the one who is not a consistent believer and they both end up stop going to church.

I think that there are certain relationships that prevent growth, limit what one or both can do for the Lord, or serve as hindrances to doing God’s work on earth because of difference. I believe that if those do not apply, and that a couple both pray together and separately about the relationship, then 2 Cor 6:14 may not apply to that couple. Sometimes differences can propel growth and help ministries.

In the end, I believe having that one-on-one relationship with the Lord helps guide people to make the right decision about relationships and who to be with. By having a one-on-one relationship with Jesus, each person gives themself a chance to became the person God made them to be and follow His will. If both people in the relationship do that, I believe the question of being equally yoked will work itself out, at least if both are believers that may have certain differences.

Thank you again for visting us. I hope the other topics on our site will also be interesting to you all. :)
