Dear Unregistered, I Corinthians 7:13-14 says: And the women which hath a husband that believeth not, and he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is "santified" by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is "santified" by the husband: else were your children be unclean; but now are they Holy.
***The Bible says not to leave, as if the wife or husband stays with the unbeliever they have a chance at salvation by the example of their spouse. I did not write this as I thought you were about to leave your husband. I just thought this might encourage you to have the faith that your husband has a chance at salvation because of you! You do seem a little weary in your marriage, as a result of your husband being an unbeliever. Again, I just want to encourage you that all is not lost as you are a believer, and he could be saved as a result of your example of salvation.
***While it is hard. It will involve a lot of patience on your part, and any pushing to change his behaviors will have to be very gentle. He will learn more by your example of patience, gentle nudges, and your committment to the Lord than anything.
***Heavenly Father I pray for this women in this marriage. I pray that you give her the strength to carry the weight of this marriage, and this family. I pray that you give her the knowlege of how to handle situations, and the words to speak to her husband. I pray for patience, understanding, and love to come over this family. Let this prayer site bless her with comfort, understanding, and prayer. I pray this in the name of Jesus, Amen!!!
