  Praise the Lord Brother Tyler:

   I would agree with you as to the object of worship of the couple and 
yet the Bible does in fact allow a non believer to marry a believer if 
they are willing to live with one another.This is that they arent 
unequally yoked together.It amazes me when people really connect this 
with solely with Women to believeing men and yet not the other way 
around.More generally seeing there are more females then males in the 
world it is the combonation of the both.There seems to also come alive 
that Abraham wasnt saved untill he excepted the call to leave the pagan 
religion unto the worship of the true and living God(JESUS CHRIST).I am 
a mixture of cultures or peoples while my wife is full blooded 
Pilipina(Philippines).You could say by the ture definition am married 
to a different race all together.Let me say this that by a Believeing 
male marrying a nonbeliever doesnt always work out like they think it 
will.God bless and take care.Thank you for your input brother Tyler.
