DESCRIPTION

In marriage, husband and wife are yoked together. For such a bond, Scripture warns Christian believers not to be ‘unequally yoked’ with non-believers (2 Corinthians 6:14). Such a marriage will be weakened, strained or even break apart.

But love can take us by surprise, and some Christians do end up in the unequal yoke with non-Christians. In this insightful new book drawing from both Scripture and practical experience, pastor David Wong reveals the causes and consequences of such a union, and why the dangers may not be obvious to the couple at first. This is followed by a clear exposition of the biblical view of marriage, as a guide for such couples and their loved ones to act in love when two may not walk together.

Praise

“This is a bold book. While many recognise the issue of the unequal yoke in its various forms, few have squarely addressed it. David Wong does this sensitively and expertly through real-life stories which readers can identify with. Pastors, parents, and anyone currently in or contemplating such a relationship must read this. The success and strength of Christian marriages and families can hinge on this one seemingly innocuous issue.”

“The biblical command is clear: marry only within the faith. Yet many go against it. Why? Part of the reason may be that no one has taken the trouble to examine the extent of rationalisation and justification, as well as the sheer power of romantic love, that propel people into the unequal yoke. David Wong has done all young couples and pastors a great service. The book just about answers every question on the subject!”
