Unequally Yoked Relationships

Statistics show that many couples from different denominations,believers with unbelievers are most likely to break-up or get a divorce over lack of agreement. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" God never intended us to be in a relationship with someone that doesn't agree with your faith in God,morals and values. The decision of being with an unbeliever is only by choice. There are many reasons why young people today are not choosing the right ones to be with is because of rebellion, fleshly sin, lack of fatherhood in the family,peer pressure,abuse, neglect, and out of desperation. There are much more reasons why people choose an opposite sex. My theory from my own lifestyle is christian women and men choose to be with someone that's not christian or on the same page spiritually so that fornication can be involved. They only choose the person that doesn't quite understand everything in the bible about sin and fornication so that it wouldn't be an issue to fornicate or go against what the Bible says.1 Corinthians 6:18 says "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." 1Thessalonians 4:3"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication." Naturally the unbeliever doesn't think it's a bad thing to do or they may think it's wrong, but go will along with it.


Television networks such as MTV and BET are highly used of the devil to get young people to fornicate and act worldy, forgetting morals and values. Some teens aren't brought up well because of certain family situations, but where are the real christians and role model influences to help young people make right decisions?


Growing up sometimes isn't easy for some children. As they get older, they manage to find things out the hard way instead of being invested as important children of our future. Relationships start at home. That's how young children began to understand how relationships really are by their parents, teaching them with love and support or with hate and neglect. When they grow older and began to see the opposite sex as of interest they either have a positive perspective towards them or a negative.
God desires us to live life with happiness because he loves us and wants us to have the best. It's always important for parents to raise your kids to make the right decisions in life so that when it's time for them to date or get married they will have those positive morals and values to fall back on. It all falls in the same category as being "equally yoked"(God's will). Life is a big difference when you make the right choices as to who you choose to be with. Being around positive influences and friends will help to encourage you as well as help you to be open to what God wants for you.
If that person your with right now is not who you really want, cut them off. Don't create excuses to be with that person because it's only going to push away how you really feel in your heart. Choose wisely and NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS THAN THE BEST is my motto!! If it takes a while of waiting especially for women, then that should let you know that God is showing you who you really are and giving you time to get to know him. The bible says in Proverbs 18:22 "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Wait on the Lord and let God prepare you for greatness. Even for men, maybe waiting a while to find out who you really are in Christ Jesus is wisdom. The right one for you is out there guys and God will point you to her. Men and women of God, you want to do this thing right because being in the will of God is long lasting than to do everything yourself without HIS help. So open your hearts and realize who you are and what you deserve.
