Now I wonder...
If you have a marriage-age child that isn't following Christ, do you encourage them to marry a believer? Because then, the couple would be unequally yoked.

Its easy . if my son , for example were still under eighteen , and he did not follow CHRIST . i would not even allow him to get married till he was eighteen . After that , if he still dont beleive , it would be time to fly the nest , IF he were still not in high school that is . I keep it simple . I suppose those if my son now being twenty were not following Christ and i found out He was going to marry a born again beleiver , i would then counsle the GIRL and warn her , DO NOT DO THIS . DO NOT get unequally yoked . LET HIM FIRST COME TO JESUS . THAT I WOULD DO out of concern fOR HER . See how simple that is . NOW of course i cant stop such a marriage from taking place , THEY are adults and will do as they will . BUT i can warn and at least try too . |

Now i have to bring this up , due to how fast the world has changed . and its gonna offend a lot of folks . NONE HERE I AM SURE .
IF , oh i pray huge this never happens , IF my son were to be trying to marry another man . YEAH THAT WONT BE SUPPORTED PEROID .
Not only would i rebuke him so severly and do all to put the fear of GOD into him . IF he went ahead , i would cut off all communcation with him .
TILL he repent of course . I would NOT show up to the wedding with hugs and smiles . NO WAY .

Unless he's claiming to be a believer and marrying a man, he's just another unbeliever doing sin out of unbelief. Don't go to the wedding or compromise. But I'd stay in contact. That's just me though. We all have to live according to our conscience too. |

Personally, I'm really tired of Christian women not having Godly standards and ending up in commitment limbo.
Have a standard for yourself. If he asks you to move in before marriage, don't even entertain that.
The ring first. Don't allow someone to have your heart who isn't willing to commit.
My husband did all kinds of hustling to be marriage-ready. Why? I had a standard.
I see all these Christian girls on social media encouraging each other to hold on to some relationship that isn't going anywhere, just to avoid loneliness. Why be so desperate?
God is so good. If I didn't find anyone willing to respect God's pattern, I would stay by myself.

I would if he claimed to be christain . If not , i would have at least tried to reach him with the gosple . Then if he did not recieve that , i would do exactly as JESUS had said to do . shake the dust off and move on . |

I do not know that I would cut off all communication with him in a case like that, but I understand why you feel that way. I agree with everything else you said. I would not go to a homosexual wedding. It is a complete abomination.
