1 Corinthians 7:14

"For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieveing wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children could be unclean, but now they are holy."



I am wondering about what this verse means. I understand the context of the married couple unequally yoked. Does it mean that if a couple is not married (i.e. divorced, separated etc) that the children are unholy somehow?
