2 Corinthians 6:14

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” – 2 Corinthians 6:14

A yoke means a burden or a bondage.

In my own words, “The burden is that deep desire God puts in us, something we are called to focus on and complete before anything else.”

Is your burden to build a relationship with Jesus?

To serve Him?

To fulfill the calling and purpose He’s placed over your life?

Then ask this, “why do some marriages still fail, even when both claim to be Christians?”

Because one lives for self and the other lives for the Lord.

They don’t carry the same burden.

That’s why before entering marriage, the vision and assignment God gave you must be clear.

It should already be settled in your heart and mind,

so you can recognize the future He’s preparing for you.

And with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will gain discernment. You will know who’s meant to walk with you and who’s not.

This is especially vital for men, because God gave them the authority, the vision, and the role to lead, build, and carry out His plans on earth.

That’s why when you get married, you don’t just marry out of love

but out of love for Jesus.
