Bible Question: My wife supports her son in his sinful ways and gets mad at me because I disagree. I am supporting his first two children. He has two other children to another woman that he deserted and now is living with a married woman that has three children. My wife says he is her son and she will help him not matter what. What am I to do. The son is 35. |
Bible Answer: hsamot: I am fairly sure this situation is just the tip of the iceburg. There is clearly a division between you and your wife, and most likely the issue with this son is not the only problem between the two of you. My first question is are you both followers of Jesus Christ? Are regular involved in a church together? Do you each have a time of reading Scripture and pray? Do you ever pray together? Were your children brought up in church? Is this son your son, or her son from another marraige? this may seem like a lot of private questions, but any pastor or Chrostian marraige counselor worth a sprinkle of salt would ask these same qwuestions. After being a pastor I have heard things like this before. I wonder how your budget is set up, iy sounds like what you make is yours and what is hers is hers. Other wise you two whouls be coming to a choice as if and how th help your wayward son. He is clearly not comitted to being failtful, and supporting his family. This is hard for you both to deal with this sonful son. I suggest you first seek God and ask Him to give you wisdom. Perhaps seeking advice from your pastor, or a Christian marriage Counselor. I would read the book of James. and ask your wife to do the same. Pray for your son, but no longer keep aid going to him unless you both agree, until your pastor or counselor gives you a clear direction you both agree God has directed you both to do. You son needs to find Jesus Christ and follow Him. Go with God. |
