Christians are instructed in the Bible not to be unequally yoked. In the Old Testament, the Israelites are instructed not to marry people from the occupied lands. The reason for this is that we are often enticed to follow the gods of the other people.
In today’s modern world, this translates into Christians not being in a relationship with non-Christians for the same reason. After a while, we tend to gravitate towards the non-Christian lifestyle of the other.
This is where Together With Christ: A Dating Couples Devotional: 52 Devotions and Bible Studies to Nurture Your Relationship by Chelsea Damon can help dating couples. It can even help newlyweds and not-so-newlyweds, as well.
This book presents 52 weekly devotions designed for couples to read and discuss together. The subjects covered are very important to couples who are striving to have a Christian relationship and a successful marriage.
If a couple will sit down together and truly discuss each weekly devotion, they stand a much better chance at a successful marriage than they would if they did not.
Together With Christ also makes a great text for a small group Bible study. Your church should strongly consider this.
If your families are from different Christian denominations, it would be well to sit down with both sides of the new family separately, and maybe even together, to work through this book.
Remember, one must put God in charge of your married life. Therefore, if marriage is a good thing right now, it will be a good thing a year from now. Don’t rush it; grow together and give your marriage the best chance at success that you can. Together With Christ will help you to do that.
