πŸ’₯ Follow after peace. God leads us by peace.

 
Romans 14:19  Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

(edify:  to build in the faith in God)

The apostle Paul speaks concerning a marriage between believer and unbeliever:

I Corinthians 7:12-17  

12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

(The believer dwells as a believer doing that which he (she) feels right in the sight of God.  Then if the unbeliever is pleased to dwell that way, allow that unbeliever to do so.  But if the unbeliever is not pleased, let the unbeliever depart.)

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

I Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
