Christians married to unbelieving spouses are torn. They want to have a healthy marriage and an intimate relationship with their spouse, but they also want to have an intimate relationship with Christ and serve their local church. They fear losing their faith or losing their marriage. How can they navigate being pulled in these two different directions?
Drawing on experience from her marriage of 32 years (and counting!) to an unbelieving spouse, Sheila Dougal offers practical encouragement for Christians married to partners of a different faith or no faith. She shares her own story and the experiences of others to address some common questions for Christians in this situation, including:
- Will this marriage allow me to grow in my faith?
- How do I follow Jesus while staying committed to an unbeliever?
- Can I raise children and teach the next generation about Jesus in this marriage?
- Will this marriage cause me to stray from my faith?
With wisdom and compassion, Sheila shows that those whose marriages are strained by differences of faith are not alone, and she equips Christians married to non-Christians with a better understanding of how they can practice their faith while engaging in a healthy relationship with their spouse.
