The Disadvantages Of Marrying A Non-Believer As A Christian
Jackie Hill Perry, an author, hip hop artist, and former lesbian recently warned against single Christians who date non-believers because they refuse to wait on God during their singleness.
In a recent episode of the podcast, 30 Minutes with The Perrys, she discussed with her husband Preston Perry concerning the struggles Christians have while they are single, including loneliness. As a result, the couple noted that many believers end up dating non-Christians instead of waiting on God for the right partner.
The Bad Side Of Marrying A Non-Believer In Christ
“A lot of singles are just like: ‘You know what? I don’t have time to wait on a man or a woman who is a Christian, so let me go ahead and open up my world to non-Christians because I’ll have more options,'” she told her husband.

Citing one example, Preston Perry shared that he has an aunt, who is a Christian, who married his uncle, who at the time was still a non-believer.
“My aunt stayed with my uncle for years, and [she] just prayed for his salvation. But typically, when I saw that happen, they both started off as unbelievers. One became a Christian and prayed that God would save their significant other,” he explained.

“I think it’s dangerous when you get into a relationship with someone and you’re unequally yoked with them because it’s going to create a whole different set of problems. … Because when it’s time to pray, when it’s time to fast about something serious, you having security in his hustle … that can’t sustain you when the stuff hits the fan. You’re going to want to be with somebody who knows Jesus,” Preston warned.
