What does God think about Christians dating or marrying non-Christians?
What should our attitudes be towards couples who are already in an unequally yoked relationship?
How should we teach such a subject to our children or to our church members?

Why Cannot?
One of the most common responses I get when I converse with people about Christians dating and marrying non-Christians. I try my best to assure them that it matters not what I think. Rather it is what God thinks about unequally yoked romantic relationships that truly matters. That is what this book is about. God’s view on the subject.

This book aims to take a thoroughly Scriptural look at God’s view on Christians dating and marrying non-Christians.

Included in this book is a section with a ready template for churches or small groups to implement a three-session study on unequally yoked romantic relationships, complete with reproducible worksheets and teacher guides.
