What do you do when a family member gets engaged to a non-Christian? I would appreciate any prayers and/or advice.

Autumn, if I was you I would just try to approach the subject gently and assure this person you are not trying to interfere but you are only concerned about their happiness.

Lord, I pray You would give this family member clear visions of how difficult this marriage will be when one person is becoming more like Jesus Christ and the other is taking a different path in life. I pray the fiance would become saved. I pray You would give Autumn the words to say to confront this person in a loving way. Thank You, Lord, that You are capable and willing to do all of these things and that Autumn cares so much for this family member that she would call on You. In Christ's Name, Amen.

Be patient, be a counselor/supporter to your family member, but let them be the one to guide their fiancé to God. This is most likely a part of God's plan, and you are a part of it to give them support when needed. Your family member will show their fiancé God exists through love and through the beauty they both encounter in things that God has created.
