DP0902,
Thanks for coming and registering and thanks for posting this super relevant question! I'm sure you will get lots of feedback from our members.

The two operative words you have used are "possible" and "allowed". What I would tell you is that in the Local Church of Witness Lee/Lord's Recovery many things are possible, but that does not necessarily mean that they are allowed.

To be sure, there is no written law or teaching that forbids a Local Church member from marrying a non-member, and customs in this area my vary from locality to locality and region to region and country to country. But in my experience and observation over the last 45+ years, marrying a non-member will at the very least put a strain in the members relationship/standing with most of the other members in their locality. Some elders would be somewhat lenient and maybe even accepting of such a marriage, but most would probably strongly advise the member to not even date an outsider, much, much less marry one.

All this being said, my friend, if this person really loves you then I would trust that with God all things are possible. I'm sure you are familiar with the apostle Paul's words "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends".

We will be thinking of you and praying for you my friend.
