NOTES/HIGHLIGHTS:

Regarding an unsaved couple where one spouse then comes to Christ ...

• unbelieving spouse consents, then stay together
• unbelieving spouse is sanctified (not saved) by believing spouse - holiness is now present in that home, the saved spouse is a VESSEL for God to use, not necessarily to lead them to Christ, but still used by God to work in unsaved ... ATTITUDE & DEMEANOR are important
• if unbelieving spouse leaves, that is divorces, the believing spouse is not bound THOUGH God still hates divorce and the believing spouse is to work toward avoiding it, if possible
• walk according to how God calls you - serve there
