Bible Question: Should you marry someone who is not spiritually mature? |
Bible Answer: Stmaryr: Much of it hinges upon how stringent your definition of 'spiritual maturity' is. I was married some 44 years ago and was spiritually immature then and consider myself immature now, though perhaps to a lesser extent, even though I have been a Christian for more than half a century. Spiritual maturity (we might think of it as being sanctification) is an ongoing process, a goal sought and worked toward, but never fully attained in this life. The larger and more important question it seems to me, is "Should a Christian marry someone who is not of the faith, who is non-Christian?" Scripture teaches against doing that. See 2 Corinthians 6:14. --Hank |
