I have been praying and I'm leaving it in the Good Lords hands.. Also starting to go to a women's meeting in church tomorrow night so I can also get advice.. Thanks for replying.. ☺️
When we as a family started going to our current church, my wife was very depressed and in need of support.
I found being a young married man, in a new job, with lots of responsibility, a new son, it was very overwhelming. Just meeting people regularly and seeing everyday work out, to find out more about myself and others really helped.

There often are no easy answer, because the answer is walk with Jesus. But through this walk we become something different to His glory.

Thank you.. I've left it in Gods hands.. 'Be still and know that I am God' goes through my head over situations that o worry about.. Your advice and opinions help me.. Negative things help no1
That sounds nice, but what about your betrothed? (Hey, calling him a fiance always looks like I'm saying the person has something to do with money on here, since I can't get that accent mark to work. lol) Does he keep thinking everything is fine until God answers you? What if God doesn't answer you until after the wedding? Are you saying you're making no decision now? Because making no decision is a decision to do nothing. Meanwhile, this guy deserves to know what you're thinking and going through right now. If you guys can't talk, that IS your answer. If quietly waiting around for God to answer you is your decision, it's not nice at all.

I live on my own with 2 children from previous relationships before I was saved. I am engaged to someone else now but he is not saved and not sure if he will as him mom is saved but not his dad.. Should I marry this person? I'm wrecking my brain about it..
i find it strange that you are asking if you should marry this person but you have already indicated you are engaged to him. Did you not then tell him "Yes". Scriptures teach let your Yes be Yes and your no be no.

I've been praying asking for guidance so maybe that's why I'm on here today writing this.
You are asking for guidance because satan has creeped into your head causing these doubts. Doubts and Confusion are not of God. You told him Yes, so keep your word, that is the Godly thing to do. Now if he is going to ask you to marry him, or you are thinking about marry him, then i might have gave you another advise, such as what fellowship hath light with darkness? But since you have already agreed to marry him, this you should do. Let your Yes be Yes.

My daughter 7 got saved in the summer time and my son 11 got saved just last night. So I have my own little Christian family which makes me feel so content.. I just keep having thoughts about marrying someone who isn't saved..Would it be wrong?
It's too late now to be having these thoughts, you have already told him "YES".

Also cause I've got 2 children from other men should I just be single?
With two kids probably not.

We have been together nearly 4 years and my kids know him well now.
During four years you should know if this man has a good heart or a bad one. How does he get along with the kids? How do the kids get along with him? Would he make a good husband? Would he make a good Dad?

They have relationships when their dads too though.. We don't have sex since I got saved which isn't a problem.
Really? This unsaved man has no problem with not having sex? Why? Is he respecting your wishes? Is he upset because you want to wait till you are married? He has no problems with that? Sounds to me like he is a good man to keep a hold of. So then he is respecting your religious values then, and not holding them against you? That is a good thing, there may be hope for him yet.

If anyone can give me good advice please do. I want to please my Saviour in every way and live as sinless as is humanly possible..
You are not far from the Kingdom of God Sister Stephanie, it pleases my heart to no end to hear this from someone, especially in this generation.

I have dropped hints but he says he doesn't like people throwing religion at him.. This means so much to me and I'm afraid of doing the wrong thing. Stephanie
The Truth will set you free. Tell him all these concerns you are having. If you hide these thoughts from him, then it is not starting off very good now is it. Be honest with him and tell him your concerns.

Don't ever push your religion on him, it will only push him away. It is not your place or job to convert him to the Lord. God will call on Him in God's timing. You however be a Godly wife to him. And never do anything that is contrary to the Word of God even if your husband asks you to. One of two things is going to happen when it comes to Light (Saved) and Dark (unSaved) relationships. 1) your light will dampen because of his darkness or 2) your light will spread into his darkness. That is the battle you will have to deal with. not letting his darkness creep into your light. Just let your light shine into his darkness. Don't try to change him, that is not your job. You continue to please God as your Savior and Lord, and your light will shine brightly. If you have any other questions, this is to all, email me. i answer all emails first before i go to the message boards.

I've been married for 35 years. We have 4 children and 3 grandchildren. Our marriage was founded on a mutual commitment to God. As of the past few years however my husband has become rebellious and shows little interest in following Christ and expresses more interest in as he calls it, living his life . He seems to be seeking only fun and wanting what he doesn't have. We want different things. I only have peace when I pray and read the scriptures. I struggle daily as I know I'm in a spiritual battle.

.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

So answer the questions Paul gives.

If I had to get married again, I probably wouldn't even marry someone who wasn't even in the same Church as me but being married to a non-Christian is out. It is also problematic to be married to someone who doesn't know anything in the Lord because they are a baby.

Break it off. Some people can also pretend for a year or two to deceive people.

I say forget him. God has the right man for you. Have faith. It happened to me after two divorces.
