We have a situation for the Couch.
Hello my name is Ashley I’ve been married for five years. I met my husband in church. We would go two or three times a week. Then we traded our religion in for clubbing and casinos. I’ve been back in church for about four months , but my husband seems to become angry any time I bring up Jesus Christ or church business. It’s getting so bad until I’m considering leaving him. I would never put my husband over my God. What advice does the couch give?
Thanks Ashley … I’m taking it to the Sofa. Give me a couple of days to get you some stable advice.
Our prayers are with you both. Hope this helps….
Godiva Jai ++++ YOU BOTH MET IN CHURCH AND WHEN YOU WENT TOWARDS ANOTHER PATH &THINKING MORE OF PLEASING YOURSELVES… YOUR HUSBAND IN RETURNED STARTED ENJOYING IT MORE THAN YOU… NOW YOU ARE BACK TO GOING TO CHURCH… ON A DIFFERENT BUT SAME PATH. NOW YOU WANT OUT… NO IT DON’T WORK THAT WAY…. PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET… WHY YOU GO TO CHURCH. YOUR OWN HOME IS A HOUSE OF GOD ANYWAY… YOUR TIDES AND OFFERINGS CAN BE PAID IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM…. LET HIM COME INTO HIS OWN AND DON’T FORCE IT UPON HIM….. IS HE ABUSIVE…? DO HE HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM…? IS HE ON DRUGS…? IS HE DOING THINGS TO TAKE AWAY TOO MUCH TIME FROM YOU…? DIVORCE RATE IS TOO HIGH FOR YOU TO BE CONTRIBUTING OVER NOTHING…IJS GOD BLESS
Janice: Meditate on I Peter 3:1-2 (Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, maybe won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear) and trust God’s leading. The world and some in the body of Christ will tell you different, but if you want God to move in your marriage and change you, then trust Him!
Iris: Never put your husband before God. But don’t leave your husband. He’s lost his way and he now needs you. You know where your strength comes from. Don’t give up hold on. If you haven’t watched the movie War Room. Watch it. Pray for your husband to find his way back. This is your task. You remember the prodigal son. You have a great task to do. Don’t allow the devil to destroy what God has joined together. It’s going to be hard, but God is with you every step of the way. Don’t give up on your husband. Victory is yours for the taking. He will come back to the fold. Pray, pray, pray then when you are done pray some more.
Casey: Pray for him and continue to go to church. You cannot force a man to turn to God, all you can do is show him how good God is to you.
Beverly: Well the thing is, you both put clubbing and casino’s before God at one time, and now God has drawn you back to him, he will soon draw your husband back to him too. Just continue to pray for your husband to be reunited with the Lord and be patient and don’t nag him, instead try showing him that you understand because you were with him at one point so remember when. I say keep the faith, hope and pray and I believe God will bring him back in out of the rain.
Here’s my last take…
Elaine: Ashley … you’ve only been back in Church a short time darling. Faith is what you need more than anything ever . What is Faith? Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Don’t give up on your husband. You two will have a inspiring testimony. Satan tried to distract your focus once. However … father God has a plan for your family. Don’t allow the devil to win. His mission is to … Steal… Kill…and Destroy. Stay strong in your walk with Christ and wait on Father God. Just keep an open mind. Like we do here on the “Couch”.
Don’t forget if you have something to Say … Seek … or Sell. Try it on "The Marriage Couch".
