Myths About Marriage: You Don't Need to Marry Another Christian

Every month we take on a different myth about marriage, and this month's is a common one: you don't need to marry another Christian if you really love each other. Conley walks through 1 Corinthians 7:39 and 2 Corinthians 6:14 to show that marrying "in the Lord" is a command rather than a preference, and that matching on hobbies and temperament simply can't do the work that shared faith does. He then takes up the harder question this raises — how do you actually discern whether someone is a believer? — working through the marks 1 John gives (genuine belief, obedience, and a particular love for other Christians) alongside the formal confirmation of membership in a local church.
