How can 1 Corithians 7:14 and Luke 14:27 be reconciled?

You missed an essential part of the scripture in 1 Corinthians, I feel. The full scripture in KJV reads:
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Paul is opposing views here that may have arisen, that a believing woman should leave her unbelieving husband. In verse 16 I would say it is clear that we are not meant to think the husbands are somehow "auto-saved".
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
One big subject he is addressing in that letter, and why I highlighted the children part, is circumcision. I feel he is addressing a concern that an unbelieving husband is somehow "unclean" and makes the whole family unclean, or that a husband opposing (or wanting) the circumcision of a son is somehow a problem. I believe the emphasis in verse 14 is on the children, not on the husband.
