spiritually unequally yoked for men

[romans224]

I seen this topic in the women's forum however I was wondering if any men feel the same about their wives? It is very hard sometimes when I want to show my love to my wife and she gets attitudes sometimes. I sometimes press her much to spend time in a devotional. I yearn much for my wife to just wanted to follow the Lord much however it seems at times her level and mine are really different. Any thoughts?

I have a similar situation. She shows no interest in the things of the Lord, which creates a huge gap in our relationship.

My biggest saddness really is my wife bieng like Lot's wife. Listen to what I say and following however looking back into the things of the world.

I'm right there with you. I recently came back to the Lord. God's really been working in my life and my wife is freaked out! I had to quit drinking and smoking pot. I just was convicted and as I've grown closer to the Lord my wife has found different books etc. and is freaked out with what I believe.

She's not a christian and is opposed to even discussing anything. I don't get in her face and try not to initiate conversation but she always starts up on mocking me or criticizing. I've prepared myself in order to have a nice friendly discussion to try to answer her questions but she won't have it. I'm also not sure what to do about her heavy pot use. It's getting to the point where she can't remember things I said to her, she's having anxiety attacks and paranoia..then she's calling me crazy for believing in a rapture and that the bible is the word of God. I understand she's being blinded and that maybe my zealousness and fervor freaks her out...it's just hard when all I want to do is love her and follow Christ. It's hard to communicate with someone when they're stoned and they're starting have a problem with their faculties. I've asked her to stop but she won't.

I've got to the point where I'm also about to leave. It's just hard when she continues to do this to herself. No kids yet but I really don't want this stuff in our home anymore and especially when we have kids. I know what the bible says about sticking with a non-believer but allowing them to leave and I'm trying to be obedient to it...I'm just not sure about how to deal with a serious problem that's hurting her body, mind, and soul...and is illegal.

Ok sorry that was long.

Ok after praying and re-reading my post I realized how long and rambly it was. I apologize folks. I guess I'm just wondering as a Christian married to a non-christian...what point do you just say enough is enough?

Hey guys, it's called prayer :)

I am not married, but I know a fellow brother who's wife is not a Christian. He prays and lives a Christ-centered life toward his wife.

Just pray that God will lift the veil over their eyes and see who God is.

Hey guys, being a woman I know I'm not supposed to post here (if the mods want to delete this that's fine) but I thought I could help you witness to your wives.

It's simple, show her Christ. In all things. Honor her, respect her, always be gentle and tender with her. Let her see you reading your Bible, let her see and feel the peace and strength that the Holy Spirit gives you. Treat her like she's beautiful even when she is at her worst. Speaks words of love to her. Let her see that you are not like other men, live a clean life and don't put sinful things before your eyes. I know this probably sounds like a huge challenge...it is. But lean on the Lord. All these things will help make her thirsty for the Lord, as the Holy Spirit opens her eyes.

If she yells at you, hold your tongue....don't return evil for evil. And of course pray! For yourself, your wife, and also take authority over your house -- demand that any evil spirit leave. Invite the Holy Spirit to dwell in your house.

You might want to place your hand on her pillow before she goes to bed at night (don't let her see) asking that the Lord will even work on her heart while she sleeps and that He keeps the enemy away.

I hope I was at least some help!
