Lifestyle: United in marriage, divided by faith

A year into our marriage, he stopped going to church and he even tells our kids it’s okay if they don’t want to go. Of course they’d rather stay at home in bed on Sunday mornings. So most of the time, I travel to church alone.

My bigger issue is that I feel like I’m carrying the load for the both of us spiritually. He has no faith. I’m at my breaking point. I feel like everything that I’m waiting on God for, my husband is blocking.

Recently, I was offered a job which I feel was an answer to my prayer. My husband however feels like it would be a complete waste of time.

This isn’t the first time he has talked me out of a blessing I’ve prayed for. I’m starting to feel like I need to consult with him before I even pray.

Last week, we had the biggest argument over tithes. Money has been a little tight in our household lately. But that didn’t stop me from tithing. I paid my tithes as usual. He had a fit! I believe that God will provide no matter what just as He always has. My husband on the other hand believes that I am crazy.

I pray daily for him to return to God, but I’ve been praying that prayer for 9 years.

Don’t get me wrong… My husband is a good husband. Besides his lack of faith, I have no complaints. I love him, but is love really enough?
