Genesis 27-28

“So Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him, and said to him, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.” (Genesis 28:1). The Lord wants and deserves our fullest devotion. He also knows that the choice of a spouse can set the direction of your life, for the rest of your life. Godly people should seek out the companionship of other godly people. This is especially true when seeking a spouse, but it also applies to who we choose to have as business partners or close friends. You simply cannot walk close to the Lord when your spouse is pulling you in the opposite direction.
