Actually, the phrase “equally yoked” is not even in the bible. II Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) says, “Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers. . .” It doesnt say relationships, it doesnt say marriage but its implication is that of any relationship with another person.

What does the Bible mean about being equally yoked?
