Don't give up praying for him. I was married in my mid-thirties for the first time. I had compromised a lot in my Christian walk, and the man I married loved me but wasn't even a Christian. He drank a lot, cussed a lot, got angry a lot....but I loved him. When our daughter was 1 year old he was having a high ball and got it half-way down and said "That's it, no more drinking for me". I didn't believe him, but he hasn't touched alcohol for nearly 17 years. Then, a few years later, I told him I had to get back to church. He was OK with that but said not to expect him to go every Sunday with me. Well, that first Sunday something happened to him. A few Sundays later he accepted Christ. He has become the godly man that I wanted to marry in the first place. I have stood in awe of what God has done with my husband. No more drinking, no cussing, and almost no anger. He teaches a Bible study at our local residential care home, he studies the Bible daily (deep study, not just reading), he emails a commentary out weekly to friends, family, and anyone who wants it. Why did he make these changes? Prayer. I prayed, friends prayed. God is faithful. Just don't lose hope and keep praying. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, welcome to Worthy. I hope you find lots of friends here. You are in such a tough spot and one that so many find themselves. I guess the main thing to remember is that you are not responsible for your husbands actions. You say he is a Christian, but it doesn't seem as if he is walking as a Christian. He doesn't seem to be taking his God ordained place in life seriously - godly leadership in the family, for instance. Although you can't force him to see his errors, you can pray for him. Pray that his eyes will be opened and that he will become the man that God knows he can be. Do you both go to church? I hope so, and I hope that it is a Christ centered, Bible believing church. If he could get involved in a men's Bible study that would be good. But don't let his actions come between you and God. Your actions and your words and your relationship with Jesus can influence him greatly. It isn't easy, but pray for guidance. <>< ><> Nathele I could not agree with Nathele more nor have said it any better. You are not alone in this situation, and her words are spot on. It is so difficult, I know, but let the Lord be your strength and source of perserverance. NEVER cease praying for your husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He promised to never leave you, nor forsake you...ever. He cannot lie. Your husband has the same free will you have. He chooses to not serve the Lord as he should - while you choose rightly to serve the Lord your God. God will reward you for your faithfulness in the midst of trouble. While your husband will receive what he is due for his disobedience. God is a God of mercy, but He is also a God of justice. Your present trouble will indeed pass. Hold onto that which is good, and do not worry for your future. It is all in God's hands. May you be covered with the mighty, healing blood of Jesus! And may all the blessings of heaven rain down upon you! In Jesus name, amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
