I ask for prayer and help over this guilt:(( I've been saved for over 20 years:)) But our family came out of a UPC denomination a little over 3 years ago. With all the changes my husband myself and adult children backslide and gave into the flesh. My 13 yr old was crying the other night and said to me she thinks God is mad at us:(( I assured her that God Loves Her and if He was mad at us we would surely know it:(( it just makes me so sad cause I'm ready to repent and straighten up my life, with Gods help of course. But my husband which shows no intrest now even in Sunday morning Church:(( doesn't look like he's close to giving up his drinking every night after work. He was getting verbally abusive till I got ready to leave him he cried in repentance . I was goning to threading to leave again but I have to give him time to repent cause Gods given me time:)I just want my younger kids to grow up in a Christian home too:)) We went from one exstream to another:(( But we are still attending a Church on Sunday Thank You Jesus Please Pray for us
 
I suggest when it comes to your husband just ease up and relax. He may not be ready yet, but don't let that stop you or slow you down from your own walk. Just move forward in your walk and let it show to him as well, let him see the change and the example you set. And don't pressure him. Sure, sometimes it may be ok to bring things up, but if you are always pushing him to go to church or whatnot that may be more damaging.
Same for your children, you can probably talk a bit more to them as they're still younger and more receptive to change, but again don't get overbearing about it. Lead by example and utilize two way conversation more than lectures. Let them ask questions, and if you don't have the answer then tell them the truth, and that you will try to find the answer.
Lastly, we have a prayer request section. you may want to try putting prayer requests there as you may get a better response as the people there are more inclined to pray as thats why they're reading through that area.
 
Ask God for wisdom, Ugly has given good advice. May God bless you whole family...with his love, light and understanding.
