All Christian married women..?

Question

What do you do if your husband does not want to go to church and is not living right..I mean its hard to be a wife like the bible says towards a man who does not care about living right..I wished he would..I dont know what to do..help please?

Answer 1

Pray and realize that the only one you can change is you. If you live your live as a Christian your husband may just come to know the Lord through you. It worked for my husband. He loved God and believed in Christ but through the years in our marriage I have seen him change. It is amazing the way God does things.

Peace Be With You,

Answer 2

Why should he change into something he's not? I don't understand women who marry men and think they can change them. You have no right to try and make him live in a way that you think is "right," when he is perfectly happy the way he is. I suggest you consider an anullment before you end up hating each other, and next time marry a man who shares your devotion to the church... everyone will be happier that way

Answer 3

kk, not a woman or married, but this is something the Bible says about what sounds like a similar situation. I know, easier said than done but that's where we really see God at work, right?


And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him...For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife? 1 Corinthians 7:13, 16 (KJV, sorry about ye olde english)

Answer 4

Give him options. It may not be that he doesn't want to live right. Try visiting different Church's and tell him what your doing. It may interest him. This way he can get different perspectives. Talk to him about why he doesn't live his life the way you think he should. Let him share his feelings with you. Don't treat him like a child and blow off his feelings. Try to understand what he is going through that way you can come up with a solution.

Answer 5

DON'T PUSH HIM. Pray for him. Live right and be loving and be a good example to him. Let him see the changes in you.

Leaving stuff around for him to "see by accident" sometimes makes good conversation starters.

But the ultimate thing you can do is pray and be a good example.

Answer 6

You shouldn't have married him. The three biggest causes of divorce are religion, money, and children. Did you discuss either of the other two before taking the plunge?

You cannot do anything except accept him how he is or leave him. You cannot change anyone but yourself. You were very naive to get married to someone with whom you were not in total agreement.

Answer 7

Withhold sex and promise to dress provocatively in church. A little action in the restroom during the service would be a good technique also.

Answer 8

pray with faith, and sometimes your good example can encourage them to do the same, people follow others examples more than you think, (1Peter5:3 :In like manner, YOU wives, be in subjection to YOUR own husbands, in order that, if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of [their] wives, 2 because of having been eyewitnesses of YOUR chaste conduct together with deep respect. )

Answer 9

Love him.
Be a good example for him.
Pray for him.

Ask God to give you the grace and the patience for all of this......

Answer 10

He doesn't deserve you.. you must persuade him slowly and he will change eventually although the process is slow..
