However, it is ideal for both to grow together in their spirituality, that does not always happen. One grows the other doesn't, some of those marriages work, and some end in divorce because they are no longer like-minded because one is going full speed ahead in Christ the other is dragging their feet and settling for the natural life over the spiritual. One grows in faith, the other does not. This leaves a big gap between the two for the enemy to get in. Second Corinthians 6:14 tells us to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. There are also unbelieving believers. They are born again but do not grow in their faith. They go to church regularly and appear to have a relationship with God but do not walk by faith, Hebrews 10:38. These are carnal Christians - unbelieving believers. A Christian who is growing in their faith and marries one of these described, would be unequally yoked. One would grow and the other may never. It�s important when choosing a mate to not just look at the outer life but be mindful of their spiritual habits and pray in the Spirit to make sure this is the one for you.
