Beloved this is not a good thing .Islam is toxic and deadly especially for women . You can certainly pray about this as we are sure you have but this is classic unequally yoked if ever there could be. beloved Jesus is the light allah is the dark You will not be happy in the dark . having no children is a blessing now because if you should consider separation . there is nothing good or pleasant waiting for you in as a moslem wife even the air will be foul . I think you should take yourself out of the picture until he realizes the mistake and apostates We should all pray the Holy Spirit retrieves your husband from the religion of hell and brings him to his senses. thank you choosing Jesus for your life . Praise God who answers prayer and Who can turn your husband around .

wow i'm shocked that some people advocated polygamy.....
i'm with the cast iron option.
16 years. it says you are 52, therefore he is probably the same age and he would have to marry a woman in her 20s or 30s to have children, which just seems kind of twisted to me.
I would leave him and tell him to contact me when he realize what he was throwing away: God, marriage, his own honor and common sense.

Hello,
The word says that we should not summit to a husband who is against the Lord. If your husband is Islamic, he is against the Lord. When you die you have God to answer to, not your husband. So please don't sin against God in order to please your husband. In the bible look at the mess that was created because Sarah could not wait on the Lord. She encouraged her husband Abraham to impregnate the maidservant Hagar. Then Sarah became jealous of Hagar and Abraham had to send her away. To this day the world is still dealing with the consequence of that mistake. The bible says that a marriage is between two people and God. When you involve other people in a marriage you create havoc. If your husband wants a child consider adoption. There are so many children that need homes. God loves you. I will pray for you.

I am sorry to hear of your trouble. It is hard thing to go through. Sounds like your husbands desire for children has clouded his judgment some. Have you and him tried going to counseling ?? Also There are many options out there for people who want to have children to raise together. There is adoption both here and abroad. Seragacy. Invitro , and different types of fertitlity treatments . This is it something you have ti talk over together . Any one of these can be an option for you and your husband .
I'm reading this completely different. Either A) He is going to come home and say forget about the second wife and kids but I'll settle for a Harley. That was just a stupid way of trying to get a motorcycle or something. Or B) He never really was a born again believer and he thinks this is just an acceptable excuse to have sex with two women. I'm hoping its A but most likely B. Anybody who has studied the differences between Christianity and Islam will tell you Yahweh and Allah are very separate in nature not to mention religious beliefs. Satan likes to sway the world by giving them their desires of the flesh, whatever it is. The animal in us wants these carnal gratifications. As Christians we are supposed to die to this flesh and be reborn spiritually. ANY man who desires two lovers is being led by the flesh and not by the Spirit, and I don't care what "proof" you supply to the contrary.

It seems like your husband was never Christian and did not know Jesus or God personally. Rather he is self centered and probably was biblioter and using scripture to his own convenience. If he knew Jesus, he would never denounce him or the faith which is a Christ centered cross based faith. To follow Islam??? that is a strict law based religion which means he has to do much more dedication for atonement and sanctification. If he couldn't make it as a simple Christian, he is doomed.
In any event, it would appear he is choosing Islam in order to have a second wife, one who could give him a legacy I presume. I don't think it would be healthy for you to attempt to follow him down that path, because Christianity, as well as the general world ideal, of one man one woman in a monogamous relationship, in the covenant of marriage as God has defined it to be. It is in this covenant relationship that his image and ideal for us is displayed and intimacy of a man and woman can best be found and sought after inside of the covenant relationship of a man and a woman, singular.
Tell him you won't stand for it, and if he chooses to convert to islam and marry another woman you want a divorce first.

Ask him to pray to Jesus for guidance and see what he says... It will help reveal where his heart lies. Jesus is real, alive and well and he will answer if you reach out to him with your heart. In the meantime, do the same for yourself and I will pray for you too.. that you find guidance for him and some peace for your soul.
Of course Jesus is the only way. That's why I pointed her to Christian (mostly evangelical) polygamous groups that would understand her problem and be able to advise her.
The fact is that while Jesus had a LOT to say about relationships, especially divorce and such, he didn't say anything about polygamy. If he'd meant to change that dynamic he would have spoken up, given his audience was allowed to be polygamous.
For all your railing about using scripture you could at least use some when being so vehement about something. But barring taking something out of context (as God_Is_Love did, and then ceased to reply when confronted) you won't find polygamy condemned in scripture, no matter which Testament you're looking at.

This is bigger than you, not bigger than God...
let nothing take your focus off your course with God... Nothing ... this is a big one ... O would
Look in the index if your
Bible and read as much as I could .. Do you have a strings concordance ? Much more indepth ... See what all God says about this ... Ask Him questions... Have confidence in what He will show you and yell you... I would definitely take it to Him directly as this is a huge issue with a lot of weight... He will help, he will guide and direct your steps...
