I'm so speechless right now & so upset.
Driving to church my husband seen a text from my friend and seen she was going looked at me and said "OH I didn't know she was going or I would have stayed home I thought you were going by yourself" -_-
Then during service which was great
I looked over and he was on his phone during the whole service.
I honestly just want to go with out him I don't want to seem selfish but I really want to work on myself and with him there it distracts me.
I want him to have a relationship with God but I know it's not going to happen if he just goes with me just because he thinks I'll be mad or that he has to go.

I'm sorry Alisha. I think a lot of us have been there at times. What I have found that works for us, is I ask in a gentle nudge kind of way but if he really isn't into going or doing something and it starts to get tense I back off. What helps is praying for his relationship with God and then allowing God to work. It's hard but the more we push the more they shove back. If he happens to see you reading your bible or you praying before you eat, etc. It might be a good influence on him even if he doesn't say anything. I'll pray for you but don't give up!

I was going to say earlier but I forgot until I just read Marissas comment.. Even tho Jose didn't seem into the service, he could have taken somthing from it, you never know. Just keep your eyes & you & Jesus & His light will shine through you to Jose eventually  |

1 Peter 3: 1- 2 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
Keep going to church, even if he doesn't go. Keep being respectful (which I know is hard, when you see him acting stupid. Just force yourself to do it anyways). But make sure to keep your pursuit of Christ your first priority. If you are living a Godly life and joyful, despite what is going on with your marriage or your husband, he will start to see God's light in you and he will start to want to have that too. It may take a while, but be persistent and stay following after God.

I'm with all these lovely ladies who have already responded. You have to persevere and trust God to keep working in your husband. Every time my husband has said how much he appreciates me or can see my efforts to be right with God, it has been when I have been able to hold my tongue and show love and respect despite his negative actions. God is surely working! We just have to remember to give him the space to do so.
