Marriage for Non-Jews
Question
As a non Jewish who fear the G-d, whom should I marry? As most of the girls either belong to religion where idol worship is permitted or atheist or clueless. I don’t want to make G-d angry, and Jewish girls will not prefer me.
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question!
It is so nice to hear from a Non-Jew who loves God.
In your search for a mate you should endeavor to meet someone like yourself.
All non-Jews such as yourself who are committed to serving God should endeavor to follow the “7 Laws of Noah.” These are the only laws a non-Jew must keep in order to have a fulfilling relationship with God and go to Heaven!
They are known as the “Noahide Laws” because the requirement to observe these seven laws was given Noah, a righteous non-Jew (yes, the fellow from the story with the flood).
The 7 laws are:
1. Don’t murder.
2. Don’t steal.
3. Don’t worship false gods.
4. Don’t be sexually immoral.
5. Don’t eat a limb from an animal that is still alive.
6. Don’t curse God.
7. Establish a system of justice.
Any human being who observes these laws goes to heaven. You seem to be doing a good job in your desire to please God and not make Him angry.
Take a look at the website https://www.netivonline.org/ which specializes in helping non-Jews with religious beliefs. There is a wealth of information there that you will find useful and inspiring.
It is also worth looking up the “Noahide” or "B'nai Noach" movement and consider joining them! Reach out to them. I am sure they know many people like yourself who are looking for a God fearing spouse.
You are correct in noting that Jews are only to marry other Jews.
