Unequally yoked wives ?

Question

Is there any unequally yoked wives in here ( husband is an unbeliever)? , If so , tell us about your experience and how do you achieve peace in your marriage despite your loved one not believing in God.

Answer

Not a wife at this moment but my boyfriend does not believe. I had problems with it early on and we even broke up at one point over it- not for any particular reason, but just the fact that he didn’t believe. We reconnected a little while later and had a long conversation about what we wanted and how we could make this work and decided to get back together. He goes to church with us when he’s off work and even encourages my kids to pray. He said he will never let my kids or even his own daughter know that he doesn’t believe since he doesn’t want to influence them that way. Sometimes we debate things and have to agree to disagree but overall it works for us. The other week he even said he thinks going to church with us is good for him.

Answer

My husband is not a believer but lately God has been really doing a work in his life. I feel as if he is close to accepting Jesus into his heart. When we first got together it was clear that we were not of the same beliefs. I work at a church and he knew he didn’t have a faith. I told him it was important to me but that if God led me to him than it was for a reason. It’s been 5 years of praying for his soul and it’s been so worth it. The BEST “mission” I’ve ever been on. God has given me so many opportunities to grow, show and share His love to my husband. We recently had a son and he was dedicated. My husband will turn on worship music for me, encourage me to pray and he’s asked me to go to evening services so that he can go too. God is good. If you prayed about your marriage and God still led you to your spouse, there is a reason.

Answer

You just educated me on a term I'd never heard before. I'm shy of 6 years into my marriage when on Christmas Eve my husband dropped a bombshell into my world when in casual conversation with my adult daughter and in front of our minor children, said he no longer believes there is a God, or the holy trinity or anything. He used the term that he believes diety, specifically that he thinks there might be a being or a power or multiple one's but not God, Jesus etc. I was shocked. I am. My kids are too and there's no explanation for his change of thought. It also makes me question if that's why our marriage and his relationships with everyone has become so non existent in the last 6-9 months. It breaks my heart because I felt like our marital foundation was based on God being our center. Then to learn on Christmas Eve that he feels like it's just a holiday for presents disappointed me when my whole life & raising my children, our children, it was all about Jesus. I didn't let it take my spiritual joy away. But it has strained me on what I feel like I can or can't say and share with him now. I'm eager for others to respond and post so I can learn more.
