I am so happy to have found this website. I have been doing what you said all along. I want my boys to grow up knowing God’s love. At times I find it so difficult to do this on my own. I feel at times to give up. But, I know He has is promises for me. I just have to trust! Sometimes things become so difficult day after day. The seasons can be so long.

I was looking online this morning for some devotions, and thought to myself “it would be nice to be able to share this time with my husband, but I just don’t know how.”

It’s difficult because my husband grew up in Church, knows the Bible frontwards and backwards, yet he’s not very spiritual and he doesn’t pray very often. I was thinking maybe there was some ‘magic word’ I could say to him that would make him want to actively serve God…but by reading this I realize I just need to *Pray* for it to happen and *Trust* that it will.

It’s amazing how God will literally put what you’re looking for right in front of your face

Just had the pleasure of seeing you at the Extraordinary Women’s Conference in Roanoke, VA. Had an awesome time, 10 ladies from my home church came and was blessed tremendously. Hearing you speak of your husband, and your dad too, blessed me. I am a christian for 16 years now, take our kids to church, have raised them all in church but my husband is unsaved and just find it difficult some days. I have witnessed to him throughout the years and the last thing I was told by him was, “I am not interested and I do not want a thing to do with GOD!” I asked him, “do you believe in GOD?” - he tells me a flat out N!. And the funny thing is, his father is a preacher, my husband went to church as a teen…I still have faith and hope. You just renewed my realization that everything is gonna be alright. I was truly blessed by your testimony. Thank you very much.

Prior to coming to this website as a christian woman I was feeling really down about my 13-year marriage. The truth is my husband and I have been separated for a couple of years now. Eventhough we both know that we are still married as we communicate all the time about what bills need to be paid and what our 12-year old daughter needs. I have been lifted up by all your inspirational comments about your own marriage. I have always felt that god brought us to it so he will bring us through it our issues. After reading your comments I am reminded that my husband need to see Jesus in me in order for him to come home so that is what I must continue to believe. Also, god is in control it does not look like he is but we walk by faith, not by sight. We must stand on what the word of god says not act on what we see. Sometimes it seems difficult but that is when we minister to one another. May god continue to bless each of you abundantly!!

Thanks so much for the advise you gave Candace! For years my husband was on fire for Christ and was like a sponge but I turned him off slowly from our beliefs because of my “uptightness”, as he called it and constant nagging. I really didn’t realize how fortunate I was to have a husband that loved the Lord and wanted to grow in Him. It went from bad to worse but we are now on the road to recovery as far as me understanding that I need to focus on my faith and growing in Christ rather than being so concerned that he stays on the right track. I really encourage wives to let the Holy Spirit guide you in marriage and eventhough sometimes it feels out of character to let things slide, our reactions will either help or hinder…it really is our choice. Telling my husband over and over again what he should believe does nothing except push him farther away from God. God bless!!

Im waiting on the Lord and im hopefull…i have faith that one day in God’s timing my husband will surrender to Jesus…untill then i will keep on running the race, and i will keep seeking and worshiping the Lord because my victory comes from Him!!i am very hopefull, even though sometimes it feels like nothing is changing and it hurts, but i have the mark of God’s promisses and i know He has the best for me…
I became a believer back in april of 2004, it was love at first site…but then unfortunately i left God like about a year or so later…it was horrible…then in march 2008 i married a nonbeliever…things were really bad he left to iraq like about a month after we got married…we went through alot while apart but during that time that we were apart i realized that i needed to go back to Jesus bc if i didnt my marriage would have ended a long time ago…so i am so thankfull that God took me back after all these years wasted…when my husband got back from iraq we still went through alot bc of the things that happened while he was away, so he would always throw stuff at my face and tell me that i would never be able to make him happy again, and that hurted me so much but i keeped on praying and asking God to change his heart and to forget about what happened in the past, (while he was away i was misarable and living with the mother in law wasnt easy so whenever we spoke i would complanin and say mean things to him and i was a jelous freak so i would go through his stuff and break things and through them in the garbage and i would also pretend i was someone else to get in contact with his ex girlfriend and find things out and he found out about that so he though i was a psycho so this really messed up our marriage but not as much as when something bothered me i would throw at his face things from the past that were no longer there but i was so spiritually blind that i couldnt see stright, so i started telling him that i wanted a divorce and i didnt want to b with him …(the devil was really working in my life to bring me down and destroy my marriage)…my husband being a marine and all i never really thought that my actions hurted him so much time until one day b4 he came back home i spoke to him over the phone and he was crying and letting everything out and saying that now it would b him that wants a divorce and didnt want to try to work things out anymore and that broke my heart but i knew that that was the concequences of my actions….so thats when i realized how much i made him suffer…so when he came back from iraq i had already gone back to Jesus (thats the reason why i remained strong and never gave up on my marriage) about 2 weeks later he went to his country to see his family, and i was here alone and sad, but at the same time God was showing me that i needed this time alone to really get down on my knees and pray for my husband bc i planted alot of horrible things in his life and i needed to fix that, so i was asking God to touch his heart so that when he comes back he would come back differently (he was away for almost a month so i really dedicated myself to pray for our marriage and for his life)…so when it was time for him to come back, God had worked a miracle, God gave me a stragedy to touch my husbands heart i prepared something romantic for him at his arival home, so when the moment came he turned to me and told me that he will love me forever, so i knew right then that everything was going to be alright and that God in control of my life…he became someone diff now i can say that our marriage is being restored i thank God for that everyday, now the 2 things i ask God for is for my husbands salvation and to remove this so called friend of his that takes him out clubing and i stay home on a saturday night until late waiting up for him that torns me up inside, but i stay strong bc i know God will work His miracle and i pray in the name of Jesus that my husband will no longer go out to clubs with this guys anymore…and i just wanted u guys to help me out and pray for my husband salvation and our marriage as well…i know that my battle is already won through Christ!!…thank u all for reading this God bless u guys forever…(see u in heaven=)

Yes, we should live Christ in front of our husbands. Less words, more actions. Sometimes, we want to win them for Christ so much, that we miss the point. I have heard a man who said that he doesn’t want his wife’s God, as he must be boring and nagging. On the point: pray and live Christ. Answer on your prayers will come.

Candace,
Thank you so much for your words of wisdom on this subject. I can closely relate to this womans situation. I read the book “Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage” by Lee and Leslie Strobel. That book helped me a lot. You are truly a light for Christ, Candace! You are a wonderful encouragement to Christian woman! Thankyou so much!

I am SO thankful I came upon this website. Candace. thank you for the wonderful answer to this question. I am married to a non-Christian, different religion and I am getting back to my faith. We have 3 children and I am trying to raise them in church and with Christ in their lives.
I will continue to pray for my husband and thank God for you and your work!
