1Cor.7:12 But to the rest I--not the Lord--say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her. 7:13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

How can a Christian's be discontented and be in Christ Jesus, which is, in itself a dichotomy? Contentment is faith, what is faith, that we trust what is happening in our lives as allowed for our best interest in the Lord, what? Well, we don't belong to ourselves, we belong to the Lord rather we live or die, we have the one headship directing our lives, and we are intimately part of Christ Jesus own body.

If a person has an unbelieving mate in the Lord, let it be, why live in discontentment using your fleshly will to change a person to a believer, how stupid is that? No person has the power to change another, just because you think you have ownership of your mate, does not mean you have YHWH sanction to violate the law of love demanding change, or punishment if not.

Be content leaving the changing to Christ Jesus own life in you, that sanctifies the mate. Jehovah knows those that belongs too Him, no human can bring a person to God without God's Holy Spirit drawing them. Why would you live in a state of discontentment always complaining about your lot in life because you have unbelieving mate? Simply put, you are walking by flesh, and are selfishly demanding a better treatment in your tribulation for the Christ. You are comparing your situation to other Christian's as not fair, while you should be rejoicing in trials YHWH sees fit too allow in your life for His glory.

Trials of the flesh do not go away because things are not fair, if they are taken by Christ Jesus for his body members it is because we have conquered them for God's name sake. Let us bless evil with good, holding firm to our faith in Christ Jesus.
