I posted a long thread yesterday, some of you may have read it. I need as many christians as possible to pray for my family. Please pray for Alec and Amanda LaHue, Max Piccola, Gabriel LaHue, Drake LaHue, and our unborn child. My husband is very lost and convinced of things that directly contradict the bible. He says he may not be christian, he said he believes in God and Jesus but not the bible. Every time I try to share scripture on our marital matters he gets angry and says I have a "Holy-er than thou" attitude. He believes that God brought us together to make babies abd bring me to Christ, but that he (God) doesn't want us to remain married. He doesn't believe that his pain comes from refusing to live for Christ, he says many non-christians have a better life and marriage than us. I knpw that all problems can be solved by Gpd if you let him and are willing to live for Him, not ourselves. Please pray that he allows the holy spirit to speak to him. He believes God has told him to leave me.

You cannot believe in God and not his words.I don't want to say anything that makes you more upset because these are my thoughts and may be wrong.I think your husband might like the concept of a "god" but obeying is a different thing.I think he sees he has a lot to give up if he truly becomes a Christian.He has to completely change and mature.If you can find a Christian councilor do so asap.Your arguing back and forth will make things worse.Ask your pastor who you can go to.Praying for you...

He doesn't sound like a born again Christian...God hates divorce, I seriously doubt God told him to leave you....my husband also says he believes in God, but he gets angry when I talk about scripture...or if I'm sitting reading the bible to myself...Before I came to Christ my mother would call me and tell me something that had to do with Jesus and I would quickly change the subject...I didn't want to hear it. I always believed in Jesus but I was living a sinful life....the word of God convicts you.....anyway I'll pray for your situation.

Its not your preaching that will win him, its your chased lifestyle coupled with love and respect. I feel your desperation and pain and prayerfully hope God redeems this situation for His purposes

1 Peter 3 [Full Chapter]
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

I'm not a marriage counselor but would say you know better then to think God put both of you together " just to make babies". I would stand firm on your convictions of Gods word " for yourself and children " if nothing else. yes, pray to Jesus about it daily or nightly, and remain full of love, remain a faithful servant to Christ, He fixes all problems. We don't get what we want overnight most of the time, I assure you that He's there, listening.. I will pray for your family Mrs. Amanda, God bless you

God is certainly not telling your husband to leave you. It sounds as if he is looking for a reason to leave his responsibilities and that this is overwhelming him. I have asked the Holy Spirit to speak to his heart and I have also said a prayer for you, your unborn child and your family. I urge you to continue to share scripture with your husband. The problem is not your attitude but that of your husband's.

Something to just consider justamanda It sounds very much like this is about self for him, rather then your beliefs. But there are two scriptures which come to my mind as you spoke. 1.Proverbs 25:17 which says Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor's house,Or he will become weary of you and hate you.

I know you are married to this man, and are far more then any neighbor!!! However most men never wish to be nagged to death because of there lack in any area,I am not saying you are a nag either sis! I am saying he wants, or rather is now demanding his own space!

If a person does not wish to hear about the Lord from you, why continue something he really does not wish??( matt 7:6) Why give what is holy to dogs? I know you care very deeply for him and for his salvation,but like I did to a friend i had,you are doing the same thing to your husband.

I had a really close friend,and when I came to Jesus,I was much like you. I nagged him to death about Jesus and how important Jesus should be in his life,after a couple of weeks of this,he got mad at me and did not wish to be around me anymore! I felt bad of course,at first blaming him!

But it was not him, It was me!! I, me, myself was looking to make a change in him!! Self righteous me!! It was then I went into prayer and found out my problem, not his problem! Love never fails,even if some people do fail us sis.( 1 cor 13:4-9!!!)

What we believe we do know about someone, we only know in part,although our flesh will look to led us into the belief we do know him or her entirely. If we allow our minds to get to this point about anyone,pride can set in,and then we lose. After a couple of weeks i called up my friend to repent to him,I promised him, I would not nag him anymore about Jesus,but that I did hope in time he would see Jesus in me. ( 1 cor 13:4-7!!!!)

At first, I was just going to part from him,and move on,but that is not what the Lord wanted me to do,he wanted me to learn how to endure!!( heb 10:36!!!) It was not easy!! He swore a lot! He made a lot of bad jokes about believers as well! And he did this to push my buttons into going back to the word i had said to him,I endured sis,and after 4 months, I received a call from my Chruch that this friend of mine came in,and asked to receive Jesus into his heart!

He then came to me the next day to repent of all the things he did to me,and how sorry he was that he always mocked me in front of others,which of course he did LOL This dear sister is only something for you to consider,you know you far better then I do!! But i just wanted to perhaps give you something you may not have considered,of course my prayers are for you, and with you sis!

I of course forgave him,and today he is a pastor of a fine church in Corbin Kentucky,married, with two fine children. Sometimes sis what does appear to our eyes appears for a short of a time as we endure to see past what we see!( 2 cor 4:16-18!!) We learn to look as Jesus looks,past what we see into what cannot be seen! For that is Eternal!! And if we believe past what our eyes tell us,we become rewarded in our Jesus!!( heb 11:6) Blessing sis!!
