Can't?

All right, coincidence - I think not!
Just today I was driving with my husband and we weren't in the best of moods as far as "loving one another" and I don't know if I just felt sorry for myself, but was thinking "Why me?" I stayed quiet (usually I would rather be vocal) during the car ride and just lifted it up to God, the whole time wondering where this marriage was going and why we just couldn't be on the same page, then I read the post by Jenny06 and Dana!  So I'm not alone in my spiritual walk with a husband who "is not", and sorry to say so girls, but it's nice to know you are there in the same boat as me, for support.
God has allowed all our marriages, and by leaning on Him he will perfect them for us. Thank God for knowing God.

Hi Marie, I'm glad, too, to know that I am not the only one...It seems that there are alot of couples like ours...I think God did it to me because He wanted me to look directly to Him for my spiritual needs...I'm co-dependent and if my husband was right with me spiritually I'd probably worship him or something..ugh!!Or maybe not!!I don't know, but it can be frustrating----God uses my husband to work the patience.But, he really is a good guy though :D...LOVE DANA

I have been there as you, Marie, in asking the question, "Why me, Lord?"  Ironic that my husband was the answer to my prayer to God to find me a husband because I never made the right choices in men and as I was a single mother with two daughters, I really needed to keep from another mistake.  It has not been a cake walk with him in the least.  He had demons that nearly ended my willingness to stay married to him.  I really did have to learn to rely on God to change him or at least sustain my love for him.  I had not even given my life fully over to God at that point in time, but I did believe in Him enough to pray to Him.  I made a simple prayer, putting out a fleece, asking for four things I wanted in a husband (these things were in no way selfish---equally yoked...even though I am the one who seems to lead the way, would love my girls, and wanted kids as I wanted more).  The fourth fleece was a real test.  It was something in my heart I wanted, but again it was not too much to ask, especially of God!  I have learned that what my sister says is true.  Honey catches more bees than vinegar.  That is the biggest obstacle I have had to overcome.  I am not used to pleading my case and I was not raised in the forum of dicplomacy!  You are difinitely are not alone, Marie.

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to drop in from lurking to say an encouraging word from my perspective.  My husband and I walked slightly different "religious" paths for 20 years before cricumstances and a tv preacher brought us together to the same way of erred thinking.  As I reflect on the past and the teachings about "the Myth of Freewill", I see clearly now that every circumstance, though hard, and every doctrine and group we have come in contact with even in error, was God's way of refining us and bringing us together to His Truth. Thanks and praise be to the Lord God, Savior of All! He truly does work out His Good, but it is His way and in His time always asking, seeking and knocking.  Trust Him and pray for patience to bring your husband to the Truth as well :).  Rest in the Lord!

Barbara
