Good for you. Your spouse will get strength from god and have more left for you. You will win in the end.

Yes, God comes first. God can bring a marriage closer together...
Picture a ladder that looks kinda like this: / \ and then picture God at the top of the ladder and you and your spouse on the ground on either side of the ladder. The closer you and your spouse get to god, the closer you two become. Disaster happens when one is at the top of the ladder and the other is left looking up at the other from the bottom. The bible states that you should not be "unequally yoked." I suggest growing spouse and growing in your marriage.
So, yes, your spouse is right. God, Husband, wife, children is God's order.

Yup! Thats right. A house based on God principals first is an orderly house, with everyone complying with God it can be a prosperous house. So before you start thinking you are getting the short end of the stick, you better start realizing you have an awful lot to gain here. That doesn't mean there is nothing for you, in a house where God comes first, there is things God expects from each spouse that you should be doing anyways if you want to have a successful marriage. This is not a one sided deal at all. And just because God comes first with your mate, doesn't mean you get left out in the cold. There are things that God expects us to do, whether our mate is baptised or not. Just because one is not on the same page does not mean your mate can abandon you emotionally, sexually or otherwise, quite the opposite. You might want to read the Bible and find out for yourself first hand where you are in all this and maybe discover God has a plan for all of us, that includes you. I hope that you find your place in God's plan, but even if you don't it won't kill you to learn what your spouse means and to have an understanding of what your spouseis involved in and to be supportive, even if you are not ready yourself, and no one says you HAVE TO, we are all given freedom to choose for ourselves. Do we want God in our life? Do we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior? If not, its still your choice. And with choice, comes consequences. And as long as we live we keep making choices, good or bad, we keep doing that on a daily basis. Hopefully, your mate will be patient and loving and continue to be a good mate or even improve themselves as well as your familys lives. I hope this helps you understand and helps you. Good luck!

Hello, You don't think you're more important than God do you? Actually it's a good thing that she puts God first because he is your friend & wants what's good for the both of you. Marriages that have God as the foundation are stronger and last longer. You should see some changes in your spouse now & they should all be good changes...good luck to you... bye

He does, but you don't have to go overboard worrying about it. It's just natural.
The line up (as I knew it when I was a better religious person):
1. God
2. Yourself
3. Spouse
4. Kids
5. Common sense from here.
Of course if you have a second marriage, or your spouse is harming your children, then you must protect the kids first. Common sense. The second marriage part has something to do with not divorcing. I don't want to go there.
I can't believe I sound like this. Correct me if I'm wrong. It happens.

Tell your spouse to do some reading...God is you...Loving yourself is a wonderful thing to do and when you truly love yourself you will see the greater connection to all and love them just as much.
I think your spouse is looking at things literally, but with knowledge he will begin to understand his God more fully. Why not start by asking him to discribe what his God looks like...Should be for some interesting conversation.
Lovingly

Well God is supposed to come first for the BOTH of you. It's not like your # 2 on my list...at least it shouldn't be that way. Just to have God involved in your relationship. If he gets mean about it then let him know that it makes you feel the way I think you feel...like you aren't important enough or aren't his #1. Good Luck!!

It may have come out wrong, but what your spouse is saying is right on target, and when this is said, what they are really trying to express is how important their faith has to be to them. I think you will find your spouse will change certain activities, but their love for you will, from your perspective, only get better.

I believe that God understands the workings of the human mind. And in the human mind, God comes first!
