Yes I know about muslim countries from what I read and islam is straight from hell sending billions to hell, she understands this well .. It was my judgment Klara needed a little genuine love and encouragement with method of standing ground .. Your suggestion of David Wood videos is excellent in educating/exposing Islam and so is Zachariah Boutros his problem is many of his videos are in a foreign language but he was the most wanted man in Islam , he slayed all the muslim clerics with Jesus, the Word and his testimony in his debates he was also an authority on the qu'ran and Islamic teachings, his brother was martyred many years ago ... God Bless Bro ..

What is this based on? Matthew 19 is addressed to Jews, not Christians. Adam and Eve are physical ancestors of pagans, Jews, Christians, and atheists. Marriage is for mankind. God established marriage.
There is this guy on YouTube teaching that if Jesus did not direct two people to get married, their marriage may not be legit. It's an institution that God set in order.
Christians should not get married to unbelievers. But some do. And some people convert after marriage. But the Bible gives instructions to those who are married to unbelievers.
Paul does not tell the one married to an unbeliever that God did not join them. Neither did Peter.
And regarding II Corinthians 6, Islam is against literal, physical idolatry.

TheLearner,
Come to think of it, I did not finish that McGravin book. I think i read parts of it overseas in a campus library where I did not have a right to check out books.
This was the general gist of what I read. There is a section that presented the problem of having imported foreign missionaries, like some of the English missions in the 1800's where they would send foreign ordained clergymen in to minister at missions stations. Some stations gave out rice, and hence the term 'rice Christians.' It took a long time to raise up local leadership using this model.
The part more relevant to what we are discussion has to do with the individualistic approach of some western mission approaches. Some American missionaries, for example, would so emphasize individual salvation that they would not try to win families. For example, win the young adult son, but not the parents, and end up with a church of young people. Another approach is for the missionary to evangelize the son, and then use that child's relationship with the parents to try to win them and their social network. Cornelius gathered his friends and close relatives to hear Peter in his house.
A household could be large back then, including slaves and various relatives. We read about the household of Stephanus involved in ministry, greetings from Paul to households, and Paul telling a jailer to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and he would be saved and all his house.
So some missions approaches seek to win the head of household, the head of the tribe, etc. if the head converts, it is easier for others in the household to convert. And in some collectivist groups, decision-making may be a somewhat collective approach, and they may even consider converting as a family.
One example he gave was of a German missionary sent by Lutheran and Reformed churches who sought to win families and clans. I know descendants of his converts and I have seen the inner workings of cultural family meetings and a little of their decision making. Parents are highly regarded and so are grandparents and other older, relatives. So I could see how parents converting could very much help spread the gospel among the children.
McGravin called the relationships through which the Gospel spreads 'bridges of God.'

You don't get to throw out what is written for what you want.
The fact is she married a heathen and had children with him.
She will teach them her beliefs and he will teach them his, and they will choose for themselves.
There is no provision in God's word that allows her to do anything other than what God calls a wife to be.

Thank you for all what u have said in here , as I mention where there is 2 religions in one marriage is confusing the children’s so as I want my children to follow my religion the first thing and the most difficult part is to convince my partner that our children will do so , and till now this is the difficult part. With the God help and prayers as other members said If is the willing of God it will happen . This situation I understood only now that I have joy to sing with my children the song a of our savior of our God .
First of all , I never mention his religion (eve if other members are saying any thing , I never specified his belive )and as I said, it doesn’t matter to me as for me is only existing the God that I belive , is only savior Jesus.
Related to the country that I am living, is a choise for work as my hometown can’t offer a job so I belive as mother I need to work to a place that is giving me job .
Appreciate your comment , thanks

Whatever his belive is , if is the willing of God he will make my husband accept, as for me , my happiness and the only way is to believe in God and to live as he want me to live . I wish the God will consider my mistakes for the nonbeliever husband and will open the way for me to teach my children his only way. 🙏
