1 | how do i convince my wife to follow me | Eph 5:25 | valspapa | 198585 | ||
i was saved 13 months ago and have been attending the church that my wife was membered at.the pastor is my wifes brother-in-law.the problem is that it is not growing and is somewhat -rednecked- it is really countryfied with bibbed overall mentality.everyone there is lacking in education [that is not the reason for my concerns]but it adds to the delima.the pastor is really bullish and after ten years of service,last sundays attendance was 12 including the pastor and his wife.the singing is really lousy with people forgetting the words,some who sing each week behind the alter sing the same songs each week with the words or hymnal still mess up constantly,i feel that they could at least practice and get it right,[after all, this is our lord we sing about and we are in his house]GET IT RIGHT.i have convinced my wife we need to move on to somewhere more godly. but her sister has already started in on her with the remark that god will beat me up for leaving,i cant say that they are lacking in the lord,for it is not my desire to knock anyone down.there is a need for sure to teach everyone,but my wife and i are not growing,if i must go on without my wife,so be it but,i fear that as i learn more and she stays behind,that it will cause more problems between us,i want for her as much as i want for myself,,please advise | ||||||

valspapa: Your husband leadership style sounds like you are pulling your wife, expecting her to follow. Often men feel because they are the spiritual head of the family what they say is law. That's not what Christ says or excepts. May I suggest you reas Ephesians 5:25 to 33. A better way might be to pray together and ask for the Lord to speak to both of you on this matter. Wait until you both agree on what the Lord is leading you to do. By praying and letting God speak to your wife as well, shows her that you value her as your help mate and lover her enough for her to catch up with your thinking. Wise is the man that takes the time for the rest of the family to catch the vision the Lord has given him. Don't hinder your prayers by not taking your wife as a equal believer whom God speaks too as well. Blessings. justme |
