Please pray for me.
It looks like a divorce is looming. I was a backsliding Christian most of my life as a result of being a young Christian (11 years old) and not growing at all in the beginning. When I married my Catholic husband I was ignorant of religion, I just had no idea.
I came back to God last year (May 2011) and ever since that day our marriage has been a disaster, a constant spiritual warfare. I've become a lot more interested in spiritual things and I've shared truth with him multiple times. He even did some 'searching' admitting to finding errors in Catholicism but he didn't pursue it any further and refused to talk about it. I think he was in denial. I can't believe he found errors and chooses to remain there. He was a backsliding Catholic when we were together and this change in me seemed to push him in the wrong direction - towards Catholicism unfortunately.
I really thought God rescued marriages because He doesn't like divorce. I'm confused about why God kept me in this marriage for the last year if He wanted it to end like this? I really don't understand. I've been so faithful to God throughout all this persecution I've received from my husband and his Catholic family. I also told my husband I wouldn't have children with him if he wanted to raise them Catholic. He's just so stubborn.
I've been so patient and have prayed God will save him but it's not happened yet and it's tearing us apart as a result because we're unequally yoked.
Another thing that upsets me is that when his family stays here he puts a statue and painting of Mary in the guest room along with candles, so they can do their daily prayer rituals to Mary.. all of this going on in our house. The house was also blessed with Holy water by a Catholic priest I feel like this all just contributes to the spiritual warfare. Satan really is digging his claws in.
So sad about this and just can't make sense of any of it
