I have not answers but can offer empathy. I am in the same position here and it's tearing me apart... You will find your strength for YOUR faith at a GOOD church with a personal style bible class. It keeps me grounded and my feet planted firmly in my faith. Blessings to you | | Poor Taste?

Please, allow me to pray for you. I am Audacity. I know this spot very well. I too have many problems in my marriage. We do not live together at this time. Get back with me ASAP! I care and we can lift each other up to GOD. | | Poor Taste?

I too have a position of being a wife. I am standing, tired, numb, sleepy, dry and just plain waiting. You are waiting on yourself, not anyone else. It starts with you. End this misery by showing the Lord that you are trusted with this burden, but you are not alone in it. The Lord, the Holy Spirit and God are all there with you. Why would you even discount them now? They were all there when you were saved, then why not now? Do nothing in the flesh from this point on. Can you stop the flesh? Yes. Okay, if it is YES, then do it. How did it become NO? Uh, let me think. Okay, you have, so then, change it once you have been given light in the word.
In this period, some of us will help you by feeding you the word. The word is food, life and it will bring you back to him, your first love. You are special to the Lord. And He thought that you are the one here on earth to stand in the gap for your man. I am not saying be there to have any of this harm you. I am saying that you have the potential inside from the Lord to end this for you, your hubby and to restore your right standing in this life. It can be a death of a marriage and your single again, or it can be the death of his downfall and you guys have the Victory. So, what does all of this mean you may ask? It says, you have the opportunity to allow the Lord to come on your heart first and you get on with your growth in the Lord. You!!! Do you see that? It is you and then your marriage. You have a responsibility. And what is that you may ask? I just told you, so do it, NOW! Why are you sitting there for Satan to take you down into sin by not loving, praising and worshipping the Lord? Repent yourself because look back at your words and see if the words you told us are words of any encouragement from the Lord. Who put those words inside of you? You did. Wake Up my dear and stop this NOW. Change your day, your life and get back to your first Love. The Lord Jesus Christ is knocking today. Will you open the door for him? He is in this Life for you my dear. Is that not true? He died for you. Is that not true? You loved him at first when you got saved? Is that not true? You gave your all at that time, right? Then just do the same thing TODAY. He is waiting for you in this matter. What type of heart are you taking to his altar? A clean heart. Get back to the basics. It all starts with you. Keep your eyes on the mark and win this race. I am on the side lines cheering you on. I see you. I care for you. And I do not know you, well. But the Lord does. Just go to him and cry your heart clean. It is that simple my dear. Rejoice in the Lord always. ALWAYS!!! | | Poor Taste?

I am also in the same postion that you are. I pray daily for my husband that he does become a christian. In the bible all things are possible through him. I stand on the word of God and i serve God everyday. Sooner or later our husbands will come around! Just keep praying for you husbands salvation and that God will make you stronger in his word. | | Poor Taste?

I understand exactly what your going through. I married my husband but before the marriage, he was unsaved. God showed me that I had to end our relationship, because light can not walk with darkness. So, we got into this BIG fight and it wasnt until then that he accepted salvation and I thought we were going to live happily ever after. Wrong. We married the next year and we still to this day have our problems. But YOU have to turn to God. He will guide and direct your path if you just acknowledge him. Its hard, dear goodness, its hard because we want to have all the answers, but remember that WE must continue to stay strong, because our husbands are watching us and our walk with Christ. Love your husband, even through the rough days, because God loves us through ours. Dont nag or judge your husband so much, because your to be a example of Christ. What would Christ do, what would he say. He loves us unconditionally. Pray for your husband, love him, and if he asks you to do anything not pleasing to God, then stand on the WORD. | | Poor Taste?

Hey everyone it's me fuzzycheeto again. Yeah, I hear you all!lol I am starting to find my footing here. It seems that alot of my problem is my personal relationship with the Lord. I guess I got side-tracked or something. You know, not reading my bible like I should, praying like I should, getting busier than I should... Strange how easily one can stumble off the beaten path being distracted so easily... Basics, yes back to the basics sounds best... Where to begin?lol Well, Ive been working on that, trying to remain focused and all. You know there are wolves out there when you get off the path?!lol Satan will eat you alive! I have apparently gotten realy bad about leaving the gate open when I get distracted and he justs waltzes right in and hides in the brush next to the path as I walk, waiting for the moment I take my eyes off the Lord!!! Self pity, worry, feeling of worthlessness or being too weak to carry on, etc.... That satan knows how, when, and where to hit me the hardest! I know where I stand, I know what to do, I know who and what I am, and I know who is in charge and who I belong to, so why allow this? Because Im a "DUMB sheep"!lol I found a web site that is encouraging and helpful though. Momof9splace.com. She is very to the point and has loads of valuable biblical information. Things I know, but fail to "remember" when satan attacks my "Dumb sheep" self while Im daydreaming over distractions!lol I highly recomend the site when youre down or disrtacted and feeling like satan is shredding you. Neways everyone, you can find me also at shoutlife.com under fuzzycheeto or even at yahoo, as Im rarely here. Today is Easter, life is good. In the midst of satan's continually attacks I realize, at this very moment anywayz (lol), that I am not alone and the Lord will take care of me and carry me if neccessary. No Im not outta the woods yet and its a struggle, but Im feeling better. Plz, any feel free to contact me!!lol I love to share and talk about things I learn in this walk and love to hear of others too. Ill have you all in my prayers and thoughts and I hate that so many personally understand my situation but its nice to know you understand, you know? Love yall Christian sisters!! | | Poor Taste?

First and fore most keep God first and love your husband as Christ loves you and surrender him to God completely what I mean by these is claim him saved and speak this into existence every day I have been praying for my husband 18 long years and I believe someday God will save him and he will have to fall down on his knees and he will testify because of a praying wife I am here today. The demon that once controlled me is dead and God has all the say in this matter. I say everyday my husband is saved in Jesus name. And I will claim this until the day I die. I cant say the road has been easy but love conqures all and I believe he that is in mean is greater than he that is in the world. Don't give up on him give him to God. If you try to change him you tie Gods hands and he cannot work. Once you learn to surrender him totally unto God you will find piece flowing like a river. God bless and I will pray for you. | | Poor Taste?

Where is the Word of God in your life? The first thing you must do is meditate every day in what the Bible says about believers and unbelievers being UNEQUALLY yoked together and face that reality. I know it is uncomfortable but it is the truth that must come first to make you free.
Only the Word of God can help you make the right decisions about your marriage to an unequal spouse. It is the lamp unto your feet and the light unto your path. God's Word will lead you into the right decision.
We are not to be unequally yoked to unbelievers. Marrying an unbeliever with God's blessing is not possible. It goes against the Truth of the Word and that is why you have no peace and are always drained and confused.
Marriage in Christ is the illustration of Christ and the Church on earth. Marrying an unbeliever is outside the will of God and no amount of prayer can change that. You spend your life trying to obey God in the marriage while the problem is it was an act of disobedience from the foundation.
He is to be the head and cannot walk in it because the natural man is not able to hear from God or obey Him. He cannot acknowledge God in ALL in his ways that God may direct his paths.
Since you are to be subject to your husband in EVERYTHING you are in a predicament where you have no head in your home. That is where the drain is coming from. He is walking in darkness and you are walking in light.
Start with the Truth of the Word of God and agree with God that you married out of his will. Then follow the clear dictate of Scripture concerning what to do if you are married to an unbeliever.
The Bible has no commands from God about unequally yoked marriages because such a marriage is against His Word.
Contrary to belief you are not bound for life to an unequally yoked marriage. Is it possible the spouse could get saved? Of course but 1 Corinthians 7:16 tells us we do not know whether they will get saved or not. God offers no guarantee. I am not trying to discourage anyone who is already married to an unsaved man or woman. But the Truth is right in front of us and it is the Word of Faith. The Truth says you cannot know if they will or not.
It is not an easy situation I know. I have been there and done that. He was abusive and I left. Right after I left him I got saved. He never did get saved and I have never looked back. Nor did God counsel me to return to him.
My life has been blessed with God's peace because I dug into the Word for the Truth instead of my private interpretation. It took a few years before the Truth began to override the false guilt that I had done something wrong in not trying to save the marriage. It was never meant to be.
Mt advice is to get into the Word and understand clearly what God has to say about marriage between two believers and marriage when one is unsaved. God is not blaming you or condemning you. It is the unequal yoke that is causing you grief. Since God has NO commands for your situation it is truly up to you whether you will stay or leave. Hopefully this will alert other Christian women to know what they will be getting into and help them avoid this. God has called us to peace.
If your unsaved husband is PLEASED to dwell with you there will be peace in your home. If he is not pleased there will be no peace from God. If you live out a Christian life before him every day eventually he will leave or get saved.
If you decide you love him and want to stay together you just need to prepare yourself for the kind of life you will have to lead, a home and life where two kingdoms are always clashing.

I'm pretty new around here, but I just try to find what I'm looking for in the Bible. I was actually looking for this not too long ago for myself.
1st Chorinthians 7.
13: And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her leave him not.
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 are now holy. | | Poor Taste?
