Just wondering.....

[maranatha14]

Any of you ladies have unbelieving husbands? Do they hate discussing anything having to do with faith? Do you ever get concerned what would happen to them if the rapture came?

My husband is a WONDERFUL man, and I love him. And, I know all we can do is pray and keep praying. I have been praying for 30 years. Will keep on doing so. Perhaps that is why our Lord put us together!!!

Never stop prayingHave you read the book "Surviving A Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage" by Lee Stobel and Leslie Strobel? Lee Strobel was an athiest.His wife became a Christian and they had a heck of a time.Lee finally became a Christian but either one of them had an easy time of it.

My husband is an atheist. Thanks for this book suggestion!

He will sit and listen to me when I talk to him about things, but I feel foolish when I do because I can read the look on his face: he thinks I'm slightly crazy sometimes. I told him tonight that I understand why faith is hard, so I asked him if I could share what he can expect to happen if I'm right and the rapture happens. He said sure, so I told him. Here's hoping he makes it through to heaven! Until the Lord calls for us, there is still time, so I'll keep praying for him.

I will pray for your husband as well, maranatha14!

Thank you my friend; I appreciate that.

My husband,

unbelieving? No, not according to him....

hate discussing anything biblical? Yes!

concerned what would happen if the rapture came? Yes!

I don't know what to say besides pray...God works in mysterious ways...I hope he will work with our husbands hearts. I pray daily for it.



I know it's very hard to discuss God, Jesus and anything to do with the Bible when someone doesn't want to listen. My husband was wondering what kind of web site RR was and when I explained he gave me a funny look.

When I married him, he was Christian...but now, yes, it seems he gets irritated when I mention anything to do with the Bible or in fact anything Christian. When I start questioning him, because I am now really concerned...he actually gets angry!

Yes I do...he is an amazing husband but like u my hubby looks at me crooked when I start talking about the rapture or faith or an answered prayer. I was talking to him while my brother was visiting our dad in Washington and my dad sent home 2 of the left behind books. I was ed excited. So I was very enthusiastic and told my hubby if the rapture comes and the kids and I have vanished u know where we are but read the books along with my bible and u will het a feel for what happened was is to come and what to do. He looked and told me if it happens it won't be until our great great grandchildren are here. Breakthrough. Before he told me I was absolutely nuts.
He's tolerant. But he won't partake in any of it. So I pray everyday and make sure I have my bible easily accessible and I'll mention things but only things I know he will think about that he can wrap is weird little mind around.

Don't get discouraged. He hears your prayers.

Agreed with all these comments from others with the same situation. ANGER is what I get. Perhaps this is a spirit we are fighting? Just in case, I pray against it as well. But I know our Lord loves my husband even more than I, so.. I am believing my (our) prayers will be answered!!

Thanks ladies -

[Acts5:41]

My husband has a lot of anger at God. I catch the back end of that. A lot. I get tired of the tirades calling God names and all.

I do pray for him daily.

[maranatha14]

Oh Acts; I understand. The tirades are terrible. Once, a friend of mine referred to me as "her Christian friend" to someone else. My husband said "WHY would she say that? Why would she describe you as THAT?" I replied, "Because, honey, that is what I am!!"

Then he went on saying how much he hated religion, and anything to do with it. I told him, "I understand; I don't like RELIGION either. Neither did Jesus. But faith and belief in God, that is something else."

The next day, he did apologize, saying he recognizes that my faith is important to me. We just have to hang in there and keep praying. I know 30 years is NOTHING to our Lord, but it sure does seem like a long time to me!!

Hi, thanks for this thread. I am new to the boards and have been browsing when I came across this thread. I, too, have a wonderful husband who is a terrific father to our kids, but he is not saved. It absolutely breaks my heart....especially when our three-year-old prays "let Daddy go to Heaven with us". I long for him to be the godly spiritual leader of our home.

The disconnect can often be found between the differences in expectations between American society and Christianity.

Classical sin nature (or flesh) vs spirit.

My husband is a wonderful man - very kind, talented, and dependable. I have yet to meet anyone who didn't like him after spending a few moments with him, but he is unsaved. Recently he was invited to do some work for a Christian ministry and I can't understand how he could be so close to the Gospel and witness first-hand people's response to altar calls and still not have a change of heart. There's so many people praying for him and I pray for him daily. In fact, I pray for Christians and their unsaved loved ones every day. Being around the folks in the ministry has given me more opportunities to speak to him about "Christian things" and he has been a bit more receptive. If the Rapture occurs before he's saved, he'll finally know that everything I've told him and all that I've believed is true. Should anything happen to him before he's saved, I would be beyond devastation. Just the thought is too painful for me and so I keep praying for him; not just for him, but for family and friends also who are not saved.

God bless.

I'm in the same situation. I have an excellent husband. He is a wonderful provider and father. I just wish I could share my passion for Christ with him. One thing I will say is that he's been supportive for years of me discussing The Lord with our kids. I have a 12 year daughter and a 10 year old son and they're saved. I've been praying that The Lord will open his eyes before it's too late. He's one of those scientific brainiac men who believes science is the answer for everything.....evolution, Big Bang etc. You ladies get the picture. I have caught him reading Stephen Hawkins! He believes in God but thinks everyone worships the same God but in their own way. I love this man so much and would to see him become a believer!
