God is a matchmaker

i am currently reading "God is a MatchMaker" with the motto " do you want a marriage that is made in heaven ? " a friend of mine echo with the statement " everyone wants a marriage made in heaven " so i was thinking WHY in some relationship there is NO ongoing result? and the Spirit told me, Do you know your life being a christian brings you to the result of finding your mate? of course i said!! but the Spirit add on "So is everyone living the narrow way God has appointed for Mankind to have a successful marriage ?" err NO? than the WAY of you living a perfect christian life is no difference than the WAY you find your life partner. Derek Prince quoted from 2 Corth 6:14-15

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common ? or what fellowship can light have with darkness? what harmony is there between Christ and Belial? what does a believer have in common with unbeliever ?"

Paul is not telling us to be cold toward our non-christian neighbors, he is simply warning us that we cannot afford to establish with unbelievers the close relationships that are appropriate with believers. obviously he has in mind various kinds of relationships. But the first word he uses yoke is used reguarly for the marriage relationship. Paul is warning it is always wrong for a christian to marry a non-christian. You are not free to marry a non-Christian nor entertain the thought. The marriage with an unbeliever is outside of God's plan for your life. The best protection againsst wrong relationships is right relationships. Be diligent, then to cultivate fellowship and friendhsip with fellow believers. In most cases, marriage develops out of existing relationship. if you have built strong relationships with other christians, you are not likely even to contemplate marriage with a non-christian. Your safest course is to decide right NOW about the kinds of relationship you are going to cultivate.
