****If we are going to talk about God, let us use His words... The Holy Scriptures....
There are two portions in answering your question.
1) What do you mean by "unequally yoked?"
The Bible defines being unequally yoked as a person who is of the faith being with someone who is not.
2 Corinthians 6
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2) Now, what about unequally yoked marriages?
2 Corinthians 7
12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
God does not want us, as Christians to enter into marriages or relationships, or even business with unbelievers. But if you are both unbelivers when you marry, and then one of you comes into the faith, but not the other, you are not supposed to leave your spouse. Furthermore, God hates divorce.
Matthew 19
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
For further study, read Hosea chapter 1-3
I pray that God will guide you in this, and after you study your Bible, turn to Him in prayer.

The perspective on this may vary based on individual beliefs and interpretations of religious teachings. However, some religious teachings may encourage individuals to seek reconciliation and harmony within a marriage, while others may permit divorce in cases of significant disharmony or distress. It is important to seek guidance from one's faith community or religious leader for a more specific understanding.

Does the Bible encourage marriage?
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!! You no its wrong do the right thing and if he can't respect you for that you shouldn't get married to him!!!!Yes, it is wrong to live together before marriage. Many times in the Bible it says 'relationship' (hint, 3 letter word) is preserved fro marriage ONLY. I believe it's even wrong to live together without a relationship. Not to mention it will be too tempting for most. So just wait a while longer until you're married to live together.Can I please correct this? (obviously, I'm not the same person who wrote the above statement)It does not state flat out in the Bible not to live together before marriage. As you well know, premarital intercourse is the guideline for this belief. The only thing the Bible does say is (paraphrased) 'Do not give an appearance of Sin'; so, people assume that if you are living together, you are also sleeping together. Personally, I think that when people judge you, that is their fault. I could see if you went around drawing "I love the devil" on your forehead and walking around in public, I could see how you would be giving the appearance of sin. But if people want to throw the first stone and make assumptions that you are a dirty you-know-what because you are living with your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance, that is their problem and they will have to answer to God. Remember, you only answer to God. If you know that living together will increase the temptation of premarital sex, then its probably not a good idea to live together. But if you know that you can stay strong, then go ahead and do it. God sees the heart, don't forget that. Man -made rules like "living together" are arbitrary and useless in his eyes. And remember, if you get there and realize there is temptation, you can always seek help from a counselor, priest, etc. or move out. Christians aren't supposed to be condemning, they are supposed to be supportive and loving; if we aren't, how can we prove that God is to a nonbeliever?
What are the signs when a person doesn't really want a divorce and it seems like she's doing it just because there's nothing else for her to do?
Generally speaking a divorce is a painful and difficult process. It's not likely that someone would request one unless they wanted it - the "easiest" thing might be just to stay in the marriage or to informally separate.When you say "nothing else for her to do" - that implies that there is no reason for her to stay in the marriage. Wanting to stay in a marriage is a reason to stay in it. Therefore, if there is no reason to stay in a marriage, then she must not want to stay in it.AnswerNo one in their right mind would file for a divorce if they really didn't want it. In addition, if that person truly loves you she would never file for divorce - she would make you do it if she feels that you want out.

What legal options are available to a spouse to prevent a divorce from being granted?
United StatesI am an attorney who practices in family court. Most states are "no fault" divorce states in which you can merely assert that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" as a basis for a dissolution of marriage. Now, if the other partner answers the petition in writing to the court denying that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" the court may require the parties to undergo some marriage counseling to determine if the marriage can be reconciled before granting the divorce. However, judges will not force parties to stay married if the petitioning spouse still wants to dissolve the marriage.UKIf you apply for divorce and your spouse refutes it, most Judges accept your application irregardless of your spouse's response on the logic that if one person wants a divorce then the marriage is over.
