I married at 17 when i KNEW every thing...
I knew before we married i should not have done so... Being a teenager with a good streak of rebel... i did what I wanted...I was raised in a Christian home i knew in my heart better but lust took over..
In a couple weeks we will have been married 51 years.. I would so much prefer a Christian husband... The struggle is not easy but ya know no marriage is perfect... We wives are told Eph_5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
How do we submit to the Lord?
I argue with God at times , get in His way... ignore Him not a good thing ,,, I must once again repent and look to the new day... I do the same with John,,,
I spent a good amount of time searching Scripture for a way out of my marriage... (FOR ME) I could not find it... So 51 years...
Our responsibility to to follow Christ, His Word. John's salvation is between him and God... My responsibility to be the best Godly wife i can be... IMO part of that is honoring the vow i took before God 51 years ago...
1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1Co 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Many here may disagree with my thoughts i will not carry on a discussion...
