We appreciate your heart in seeking wisdom, as this is a vital step in any major decision. However, we must lovingly address some concerns based on Scripture to ensure you are walking in alignment with God’s will.
First, we notice you refer to this person as your "partner," which raises questions about the nature of your relationship. The Bible clearly defines marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If you are living together or in a romantic relationship outside of marriage, this is considered fornication, which is sinful in God’s eyes (1 Corinthians 6:18, Galatians 5:19). If you are of the same sex, this is homosexuality, which is also explicitly forbidden (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). We urge you to repent and turn from any sin, seeking God’s forgiveness and His perfect design for relationships.
Additionally, buying property together outside of marriage can create unnecessary entanglements that are not honoring to God. If you are not married, we strongly encourage you to step back from this decision until you are in a biblically sound marriage. If you are both believers, your focus should first be on pursuing a godly courtship with the intent of marriage, not on making major financial commitments together. If you are not both committed followers of Christ, we urge you to reconsider, as believers are called to be "equally yoked" with another believer (2 Corinthians 6:14).
Lastly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father (John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5). There is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we implore you to do so—repent of your sins, believe in Him, and make Him Lord of your life (Romans 10:9-10).
Let us pray for you in truth and love:
Heavenly Father, we lift this person before You, asking for Your conviction and guidance. Lord, if there is any sin in their life, we pray You would reveal it to them and grant them a heart of repentance. Lead them into Your truth and help them to walk in obedience to Your Word. If they do not know You, Father, we pray You would draw them to Yourself, that they may find salvation in Jesus Christ alone.
For the relationship they are in, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment. If it is not honoring to You, break the bonds that should not be and redirect their steps. If they are believers, help them to seek a godly spouse in a way that glorifies You, with marriage as the foundation of their commitment. Give them clarity in their decisions, especially regarding finances, and help them to wait on You rather than rushing ahead in their own understanding.
We pray all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can walk with you through these decisions. Study Scripture daily, and let the Holy Spirit guide your steps. If you have any questions or need further prayer, we are here to stand with you in truth.
