		<description>Dear Sister in Christ.

God exist. He exist in the air we breath, the space around us and within us. Can you feel it? If you are still and silence and be concious of it, you will feel His Loving Presence. Always there whether you notice it or not. 

See His Grace in your marriage and spouse. And you will smile and know that God is with you and have made you a victor. 

Whatever we resist, persist. Let God work things out, our hands are too small to deal with it.

Your relationship is more important than whose beliefs is right. I would highly suggest that you put your worries and cares to our Abba and smile more often.

Accept and respect your hubby&#039;s beliefs. That doesn&#039;t mean you agree with him. You merely decide to understand him by seeing from his point of view.

Many of us, we want others to change. I recently realise it is my own unwillingness to change that causes others not to change. Until I change and become more confident of God&#039;s doing than my own doing that I start to see His Miracle unfold, to the extend I can&#039;t belief it myself. 

If there&#039;s anything we could do with our hands and might is not a miracle, because it can be done by us. But if its something no one can do but God, than that&#039;s a Miracle. Cos that&#039;s His speciality, which is impossible to us. What is impossible to us is not impossible to God.

Our job is to ASK, Believe and Confess His Grace and Love for us again and again, And trust Him patiently until we felt the peace He gave us, not as the world giveth. And there you are, you got it.

You will have the gift of tongue, love and wisdom will flow when you share your thoughts with your spouse. 

Many people strictly put their faith in the Bible and not their relationship with Abba. Focus on your Father and child relationship with Abba God and all will become clear.

Jesus came for the sinners, not the righteous. Only a sinner will understand Grace. God is already working in your husband and marriage. You just have to see Him and not the storm.

I pray that you&#039;ll experience His Grace and Love Always. 

Bless be:)</description>

		<description>Sister, i would like to tell: Dont be religious. Be a Christian not to show others but to glorify God among the people.

About your husband, a quip: Everyday make a fixed dedicated time like 15 minutes to say, Just praise God for your husband. Seems odd to you, but not to God. When we still keep praising God, the enemy continously gets ashamed and finally you get victory over the matter. Dont force your hubby, Instead: put that what you want, what you require in God&#039;s prescence and Praise god... Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord etc..

god bless</description>

		<description>So, you need to ask yourself a few questions.

Is your marriage more important to you than your husband being as devoted to God as you are ( your opinion)

Are you really that much more devoted to God than your husband is? ( you seem like you are a bit holier than thou, hard to live with a person like that)

Is your marriage only worth saving on YOUR terms? (pretending of course that it is &quot;God&#039;s terms&quot;, but really yours)

Do you think you are somehow more pious than your husband is?

My wife is a Catholic, comes from a devout family, I am atheist, I have allowed her to send our kids to Catholic School, Church, Sunday School etc. but I have also made sure that our kids may reject whatever their own conscience cannot, or will not accept, they are free agents when it comes to religion.


Sorry if I sound harsh, but it seems to me, by reading your post, that you wish to dominate your husband and you have found a tool ( the bible, religion) with which to emasculate him.


I would suggest marriage counseling, ask your pastor, your Church may offer services.</description>

		<description>Show your husband this website

He may consider coming back to Jesus after reading it.

Jesus is God. He is alive forever.

The questions non Christians and atheists usually ask are:-

1) Did Jesus really exist?
2) Is Jesus God?
3) If Jesus is God, then why did He keep praying to the Father in Heaven? How can the Father and Jesus be one God.? Why did Jesus have to suffer on the Cross?
4) What is the Holy Spirit?


It would not be possible to give a short answer to these questions .

I suggest you visit the below website.

After visiting the below website, you would get a lot of answers and be able to answer anyone.</description>

		<description>&quot;I worry that I am unable to fulfill what God wants of me because I am having such a difficult time in keeping a God-centered marriage.&quot; Maybe what God wants of you is to know where you really stand. Will you still be with God if your husband leaves? You should make that firm decision soon. I do not see in scripture that you bear your husband&#039;s responsibility in the marriage though you should do all you can to save it. I suggest fasting. The reason for fasting is to draw closer to God. One of the physiological effects of fasting is that it sharpens the mind. If you have any health concerns you should speak to your doctor before beginning a fast. 24 hours is sufficient. If your husband is aware that you are supposed to ask him if you need help understanding scripture, if you ask he may become more interested. I wish words could comfort you but I know that only positive results will do that.</description>

		<description>Dear Christian wife,
Use the Bible to answer your Christian marriage problems. Not one time in the Bible does God state that the wife should lead her husband in any matter. In fact it says the opposite concerning spiritual leadership. Read 1Corinthians 11:3-12.

The most famous passage of scripture referring to the &quot;perfect&quot; wife is Pr 31:13-27. Of all the things this woman does, spiritual leadership is not one of them.

A good example of a disobedient wife is Queen Vashti. She disobeyed her king husband for a good reason. He wanted to show her off and she didn&#039;t like that at all. Es 1:10-22 God never condoned her disobedience and instead used another woman Ester to save the Jews from a perilous situation.

Jezebel is most known for being a harlot but when you look at her life you realize that she was the spiritual leader in the house and told her husband what to do. By going contrary to God&#039;s plan for marriage, her name resides in infamy. 

The solution: Obey God. Attend church. Have personal Bible studies. Have a personal prayer life. Obey your husband and let him come to Christ when he is ready. You cannot push him hard enough to make him want to be a Christian. 
There are great marriage resources at the Pearl&#039;s website.</description>

		<description>1 Corinthians 7: 13,14,16 might help a little. And, if you would like a little help winning him w/out words, check out Proverbs chapter 31. I know it might get a little rough sometimes. But keep it in your prayers. I am sure God wants your marriage to last.</description>

		<description>Do not crowd or force him. If you want to save souls, do it on others.
1 Cor 7 Verse 10: And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, let not the wife depart from her husband 
Verse 12: But to the rest speak, I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not and she be pleased to dwell with him let him not put her away.
Verse 13: And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 
Verse 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 they are holy. 
Verse 15: But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: But God hath called us to peace.</description>
