The Christian who marries a person who is morally sound and does not pose a burden to his or her Christian beliefs or practices doesn’t' fall under Paul's prohibition regarding being unequally yoked.

It is only when one's involvement with an unbeliever would necessarily involve the Christian in sin that such a relationship would be wrong.
