I am looking for a church home to grow in Christ and have been to New Psalmist many times. I have been married for 36 years. I spent all my years living in the world (flesh) and not seeking God for answers. My husband does not want any parts of going to church (which is troubling to me because I cannot follow a man that does not follow
God. He relies on social media and the world to influence decisions) All I can say is that he has become very angry with the world. I choose to live in Faith, Peace and Joy. I recently tried explaining to him that our prior years did not have a spiritual foundation therefore we are seeing the results of a failing marriage. He said, “That has nothing to do with it”. I did not know Jesus like I thought I did until 2024 and my life is not the same. I keep praying and trusting God and I continue to follow Jesus. My issue is that my husband is not on my same journey of finding a church home in fact he refuses to go to church. He is very angry with the world and does not understand that he does not have control, but God does. His mindset is troubling. I go to church without him and have found may Christian social outlets, but he makes me feel that doing something wrong because I am enjoying the daily gift that
God has provided “Life”. I am asking you to pray for God’s direction on what I should do. I have read in the Bible and understand that a wife’s role, but I am having a hard time understanding how to live a new life with a husband that is not on a spiritual journey with me. In fact, he should be leading the marriage and home by submitting to God on every decision, praying and reading the Bible (this I would follow all day every day). I know none of are perfect and we fall short everyday (I repent each day as I know I am not perfect) but a wife should be able to trust her husband is leading under God’s authority. A wife should be able to count on her husband to make good financial decisions, show love, speak love and show love to all, not speak foul language. These things only push me further and further away from communicating with him.
I give God the glory because I am strong, and I continue to praise him daily not matter what!
Please pray for me.
