A believer and an unbeliever should never marry under any circumstances. However, through deceived hearts, lies, and false professions, it happens sometimes that a believer is married to an unbeliever. What do we do then, and how do we handle that situation?

Who saves? I became a practising Christian after I got married. My husband had been to Sunday school consistently up until the age of 16 but I wouldn't say his family were practising Christians.
To begin with I tried to DO things to win my husband to Christ. However I came to realise that it was not my job to do the actually trying. My job as a Christian was to be a Christian and for God to use me if that was the way my husband was going to be saved. My husband's salvation was his own responsibility, not mine. I also think that by trying to do things to win him I might have been been getting in God's way. After all, even though I was a Christian I am still human and was probably trying to do things the human way.
One thing I read was the Christian has a love for another which the partner doesn't understand and can't see so they may be jealous without realising it.
My husband died after 18 years of marriage. I do not know if he was ever saved.
God helped me to endure a difficult marriage. And as a consequence my faith became stronger. There was a time that I considered giving up my Christianity thinking that it might make things easier, but I knew that I couldn't do that. Jesus was my rock and I clung to Him.
