2 Corinthians 6

14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial^b ? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them

and walk among them,

and I will be their God,

and they will be my people.” (2 Corinthians 6)

Thoughts: This is marriage advice but also spiritual advice.  He is saying to not be married to an unbeliever as if unbelief were not important to your soul or your relationship.  This does not mean that it cannot be gotten around.  Timothy's mother was married to a Greek unbeliever and she and Timothy kept their faith.  It is just difficult.  The other thing inferred here and spelled out in other places 1 Cor. 3:16; 1 Cor 6:19 is that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, so we need to take holy care of our bodies as people care for a temple.  You don't have two gods worshiping in the same temple.  Faith is an important question- for if both believe the closer we get to God, the closer we get to each other.  But if only one believes- the closer they get to God the more distance is to the other partner.  

Prayer: Lord, help my heart and relationships be pure and honoring to you.
