While Christians today often wrestle with marriage questions related to divorce or homosexuality, one issue discussed less often concerns marrying outside the faith; that is, when a genuine believer marries (or plans to marry) an unbeliever. It may be surprising to some that the New Testament does not include a verse that explicitly says, "Christians should not marry non-Christians."
