0:00.0 | Paul, last episode we had a question from a believer who was dating an unbeliever and wanted your advice. |
0:08.9 | Today we have a scenario from a brother whose sister is about to get married to an unbeliever, |
0:14.1 | and he wants to know how to address this with his sister or if he should address it at all. |
0:18.7 | So here's the question from all the way across the other side of the |
0:21.6 | world in Australia. My sister has been in a relationship with a non-believer for the last seven years |
0:27.3 | and is getting married to him. I'm in the wedding party and I would love to give her a copy of your book |
0:31.7 | marriage. My wife and I have been married for two years and were gifted your book as a wedding gift |
0:36.2 | and we've really enjoyed it. |

1:11.9 | the Lord may open doors to witness to them and strengthen and grow them as they tackle the crazy |
1:16.9 | challenges of marriage. So, Paul, in this situation, would you write a letter or what would you say? |
1:24.0 | Or would you try to quote, end quote, just let it play out and see what happens this guy wants |
1:29.7 | to know if he should write a letter or what he should include in the letter surely this is a |
1:35.1 | situation that requires that important combination of wisdom, and love. |
1:48.5 | Wisdom means that it's very important to think distinctly, biblically, about this kind of |
1:55.4 | situation. |
1:57.5 | And I want to talk as specifically as I can about what was described in this question, |
