A lot of people become tempted to settle for partners who either aren't believers or aren't as focused on a relationship with God as they are one with you. You need someone who first seeks God, not seeks you and then God as an after thought. A relationship pleasing to God is unlike any other wordly relationship in that the focus is not on each other, but the Lord.
Relationships that do not focus on God will only end in heartache, which is why in the Gospel is says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?". For a non-believer, your faith will be questioned and possibly even make you turn from church, fellowship and possibly even your faith. Those to someone who doesn't match your intensity for a relationship will God could become a ball and chain that holds you back from pursuing a closer relationship with the Lord. Let iron sharpen iron, not rock blunt iron.
Don't be afraid to wait, some people don't get married until they're 40! 50! Or even older! God has a plan for you, and he has a partner for you, for he saw man should not be alone. So, therefore, don't settle for someone you know won't honour God.
