The Bible counsels God’s servants who are seeking a marriage mate to marry “only in the Lord, ” that is, to marry only a dedicated, baptized worshipper of Jehovah who lives according to Scriptural teachings.
يَعْرِفُ يَهْوَهُ مَا هُوَ ٱلْأَفْضَلُ لِخُدَّامِهِ ،‏ وَلَطَالَمَا أَوْصَى شَعْبَهُ أَلَّا يَتَزَوَّجُوا أَشْخَاصًا لَا يُشَارِكُونَهُمْ إِيمَانَهُمْ .‏
