Hi all!
I started to hijack Debbie's post about selling things...so I am moving my question here!
Anyone else have the problem or suggestions for me? DH was all ready to spend time in prayer, in bible study with me, etc when we first got married. (He became a Christian shortly before our wedding. We had actually broken up, since I knew that I should not "unequally yoke" myself with a non-believer.) We have even had discussions since then where he thanked me for walking away...otherwise he really doesn't know if/when he would have ever turned to God.
Fast forward 7 years...he has started cursing (occassional at first...I know it's cuz he is trying to talk like that at work, but now it's crossing over into his family time too)...doesn't want to do ANYTHING extra when it comes to church. Sunday morning is IT! (I am thankful that he does that with our family!) and has really started to question the main beliefs of being a Christian. Really, from where I stand, it looks like he wants to be "in the world" while still going to church and being a "good person." Which he knows is NOT the way to do things. He is still trying to do it anyway.
I have prayed and prayed about this. For a long time, I didn't even say a word about his cussing. Now, I have been pointing it out every once in a while. I don't want to nag...but I don't want him to think I feel it's alright, either.
Our church is very small, and I have been contemplating attending Wednesday night services somewhere else. (Both to see if he will go to a couples bible study, and to get our DS (13) involved in a church with a nice youth group.) Satan is really working hard to pull DH away from our core beliefs and it scares me to death!
I guess I am just looking to vent, to see if I am not the only one dealing with this (although I know of one other person on here who has dealt with this ) and to see if you all may have other suggestions for me!
Thanks for letting me go on and on....
This board is a great source of encouragement to me!
