Marriage » Unbelieving spouses
as to the married, I enjoin this rule, not as from my self, but from the Lord, that a woman should not leave her husband: but if she has separated herself, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But as to the other cases, which were not decided by the Lord; I say, if any brother has a pagan wife, who likes to live with him, let him not put her away. read more.
