......for a Christian to marry or have a relationship with a nonChristian?

Having been in relationships with non-Christians in the past, I can say that it is ill-advised to be intimately close to a non-believer. It is too easy to let your faith and beliefs slip in order to please the other, and if you start making slight exceptions in the beginning, then it just snowballs. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. I know that it doesn't have to be that way, there are exceptions to every situation. But, I personally think that it is better to not be, a non-believer doesn't have the same focus as you, and sooner or later could become a strain on your relationship with God.

On the other hand, maybe the non-believer is the one whose faith will be shaken. God made the atheists too, and they are worthy of love.
