I used to feel like my husband and I were "unequally yoked". In other words, I felt spiritually superior to him. I wanted him to lead, but I had no concept of submission. I felt like he had to be good enough first, then I would be willing to submit. As it turns out, most of what I thought I knew about scripture was wrong. I grew up in an unbiblical church. God opened my eyes to all of that and over the last few years, we've been studying the Bible and growing together in our God-given roles.
Yep! I can relate. When Christ took ahold of me and I started reading my Bible my husband told me this was going to be the end of our relationship. And after a few years he became a follower of Christ. And now 8 years later we both live everyday for the Lord. Greatest blessing ever. Raising our 3 boys to love Jesus! Thank you
Thank you for this comment and sharing your testimony, I’m going through this right now! My husband has had one foot out the door since I got saved last November 2023 and I’m just sticking it out and trusting the Lord to turn this situation around for His glory!!!
I have been praying for my husband Eric for 30 years! What am i doing wrong?? We both have trauma backgrounds. I have asked the Lord to help me with him and my 2 adult children.
We´ve had a life changing few months and a lot of tough things happening and in the middle of all this chaos my husband got saved! It´s a miracle. He started reading the bible without my knowledge and came to me and asked me to teach him to pray. I was chocked to say the least. Now we are finally on the same page and we can share our faith and that is the best feeling ever. Thank you Jesus!
Can I ask all of you sisters in Christ, please pray for my husband (BB). The doc gave him a few weeks left, stage 4 cancer. He needs Jesus. I have gone thru from A-Z just as the wonderful woman talks about in the video. Had small breakthrough last month, back to rejection. I can't fathom him dieing in his sins! This is in God's hands. Need prayer warriors. A soul hangs in the balance. 🙏🙏🙏
PRAYING for your hubs, BB, to humble himself & accept the ultimate gift of salvation, making Jesus his personal LORD & savior. I'm so sorry he's suffering with cancer, that must be so hard on you, too. The other day Justin Peters shared a powerful baptism testimonial with the title: This May Be The Most Moving Video You'll See In 2024 Maybe check it out & see if it might move him to repent & put his faith in Jesus.
I’m sorry this is happening-terrible situation. I just said a prayer for your husband. I pray for you, sister. May the Lord soften your husband’s heart and strengthen you in this hour of need and sorrow ❤✝ God bless you
This is 💯 on point! After giving my heart to Christ I went through something very similar as my husband became so angry that I was changing so much as I grew in Christ. I started standing my ground in love and refusing to participate in ungodly things and I started to show him even more love when he would say mean awful things. As I set a Christ like example in my home and turned to prayer and studying Gods word and meditating on it day and night I started to see a big change in my marriage. God is truly faithful and tho my husband isn’t serving Christ yet he is very very close and even went to church with me to see me get baptized and now respects my prayer time as I kneel every night at my bedside and my husband has even now started asking questions about the Bible and I finally had an opportunity to open my Bible and show him how to read it ( he didn’t know what the books and chapters and verses worked in reading it. He’s brand new to this and I can see The Holy Spirit directing him and softening his heart). I don’t do anything except let Gods light shine brightly from within me and pray diligently for both my husband and my daughters salvation. Both of whom are showing signs of God working in their hearts. God is so Good!✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I used to think was as the only one that was going through this. I said to myself before watching this that I would do whatever advice you give. So now I am equipped. I became a born again believer 4 years ago and my husband is still not there. In fact, he doesn't even go to church at all. I even stopped and almost lost hope. And then I came across this video. It is like I had TH-cam for this video only. Thank you. This is incredible. You have to have gone through this or be going through this to understand just how difficult it is. But God.
I literally have to pause just to sob. Finally. Finally. Someone who has walked through this and gets it. I’ve only been married a year (together for 5) and he’s in his “rebellion”. He didn’t grow up in the church and neither did I but now more than ever he is resisting anything Jesus related. This spoke so clearly to my spirit and I feel such comfort. Letting go is so freeing. Thank you for sharing your testimony, God really did speak through you to me. Please pray for me to go back to my first love Jesus and keep my eyes on Him no matter how hard it gets. Pray for him and his family to experience the One who changes everyone He touches. Thank you 🤍
can someone please pray for me and my wife, she is not a believer. She is so caught up in the world of man and is blinded by the evil on earth. Pray for me to have patience and show her without words the testament of Jesus Christ.
Yes. I will pray for both of you. I have the same problem. Let's show the same grace, mercy, forgiveness, gentleness, and leadership, that Jesus does for us. Remember that God's always working even if we cannot see it.
Im slowly learning how to be Biblical wife and my husband and I have never been happier. He is growing into his leader role so well. He still doesnt come with me to church even though I go every Sunday. He recently told me that with everything going on in the political climate and seeing how insane everyone has gotten, he is starting to believe that the Bible is true and Christianity is the worlds truest religion. Hes coming around, all I can do is pray and let the Lord shine through me without words.
I have never clicked on a video so fast! I have been struggling with a VERY unbelieving husband and have been looking for help! Thank you thank you thank you SO much for making a video on this. I now have this along side my prayers ❤
My story is similar. Once I took my hands off of it and realized it’s not my job to be his Holy Spirit and trusted God to get to His son. I focused on my relationship with the Lord and my husband is coming around. Slowly but surely.
Yes, I am so tired of being my husband's Holy Spirit. He claims he's Christian but it's like he has no conscience! I know all the verses about how I should be but just don't know how to execute what I know.
Hey sis, I just wanted to share that THE BOOK that finally gave me practical insight on Biblical Submission (I read a lot of them) is Created to be his helpmeet by Debbie Pearl. That book is a gem, and every bit of progress I’ve seen in my marriage I credit to her advice. It is also a very hopeful book showing many testimonies of women who “won their husbands” as Peter describes. ❤️
I have been married to an angry unsaved man now for 33 years. I have been saved for 37 years. As a typical woman I married him thinking “I can change him”. I have paid the price for over 3 decades now. Not going to lie, it been horrible. I would never ever do it over again. My 3 adult children are my saving grace. Only one has been born again. They were raised in church but two want nothing to do with God. All 3 children think I am crazy for staying in the marriage. All their friends parents (including “Christian’s “) are divorced. They always tell me “just leave him mom”. I am not a hero to them 🤷♀️. I have tried everything but finally handed him over to God about 15 years ago. He is Gods problem. I pray for his salvation, even though I am so weary and discouraged. I don’t even feel like it at this point but, I do. I have come to the realization that not every person will be saved. Yea okay, Gods got this but don’t lead people on with that catch phrase allowing them to think it going to happen. It may happen on his death bed but as of now it’s been 35 years of hardship for me. I’m not sugarcoating this. My husband is getting worse, as time is getting crazier, my husband is getting more and more agitated and angry. I have watched his whole face/countenance change over the years. He is not physically harming me but he mentally and verbally abused me. I’m not looking for sympathy, I made a terrible decision 33 years ago, I am definitely paying the price. I am such a joyful and thankful person and I love to help people and animals in need. I do it outside of the perimeters of my marriage. That’s my story, don’t give people false hope. Do not marry someone who is not saved!! Don’t do it!! You will regret it 😢
It is interesting, I think, how serious the approval of a potential spouse was and the involvement of the family…. Now we’ve largely done away with that and testimonies like this are the norm. But God. His word is truth and we continue to live in His ways and trust His saving grace! Praying along side of you, sweet friend!
I agree with you, I was born again 1 year ago and married my fiancé who is not born again. We were together when I was born again and went through a lot of trials before the Lord saved me. A great conviction to stop having sex outside marriage set in about a week after my new birth. Before Jesus, I was jealous, manipulative, full of anger and my husband was afraid to marry me, which I can understand. He soon saw that I wasn't the same person he once knew and wanted to marry me. He waited 2 months before the wedding without sexual relations, and it was my pastor at the time who married us. I don't come from a Christian background, in fact I'm the only Christian in my family. It's very difficult because I feel misunderstood by the people I love around me. I don't recommend anyone to marry an unbeliever because it's very difficult to live with someone who doesn't know Jesus. In spite of everything, the Lord is gracious and I see the blessings of marriage in many ways. I have repented of having made a bad choice of husband. My husband is very open to the Gospel and lets me live my faith completely. He has difficulty believing that the Lord can love him because he feels dirty. he's not sure yet. I pray every day for his salvation and I ask the Lord for wisdom to help me love him as he loves me. I pray for you my sister 🙏🏻
@@Emilievaillancourt2294 Thank you for sharing your story. May God give you peace and strength and endurance to honor your marriage covenant 🙏. I take rest in knowing that God sees our struggles and knows are heart. We look forward to eternity for our rewards living with Jesus. God bless you sister, I do pray for your husband to receive his name in the book of life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for warning others not to marry an unbeliever. 39 years for me of living with an angry unloving unbeliever. God may save him, or He may not. Do what Scripture says and don’t be yoked with unbeliever! The consequences of my sin have hurt more than just me. I have regretted my foolish sinful desperate choice every day for all these years. Just because I pray for his salvation with depth and earnestness and have tried long and hard to love him in word and actions, does not mean the Lord will save him. I have to let go of hope that He will. He knows best. He is God. His love is real and unchanging and everlasting. Blessed be the Name of the LORD.
My husband divorced me almost 8 years ago after he got caught having an adulterous affair with a woman at woek. I was a baby Christian at that time and tried to fo everything I could to save the marriage. I have grown up so much spiritually. I realize only God can xhange his heart. I continue to pray for his salvation and our reconciliation. I am committed to standing for him and our marriage until death do us part.
1 Corinthians 7 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
God untethered you from this man by His grace! He allowed for his sin to expose him and lead to the only biblical grounds for divorce. You can ask the Lord for a believing husband and marry him without being in adultery.
Amen. I'm in the same boat as you. I've grown so much as a believer. Hubby is in God's hands. And God hates divorce. I'm trusting God to change him. As long as they are alive God is at work 😂. Till death do us part. Stay strong and hold on to God. His timing is perfect. I'm standing by you sis ❤
God hates divorce because of the pain that it causes everyone. Not that He doesn't understand that sometimes you have to leave. My husband was a Christian but had an anger and lust problem. He was afraid to tell me how far gone he was. He was even ogling, trying to get with other women early on. It was devastating. I believe that I should have divorced him a long time ago. Because I believe that it would have made our lives much more peaceful.
I've been a believer in Jesus Christ since 1986. Everyone has their own spiritual journey that they are on. My wife of 28 years left me and my children after using the "I don't see any real spiritual fruit in your life..." argument to allege that I wasn't in fact a true follower of Christ and she believed she had to leave in order to not be unequally yoked. At the time my grown children even took her side. 16 months later and she's an "out and proud" lesbian who dates women. But it's too late. My life and all that I worked to establish as a family is destroyed. Be very careful about how you "observe" spiritual fruit in other people's lives. You don't know as much as you think you do when you judge a person using that spiritual fruit metric.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. My husband is a true non-believer, calls himself an atheist now, but I’m not leaving him and we met and married in church. It’s a difficult situation but I’m not even thinking of that bc I love him and our family. Your wife had other plans that had nothing to do with your spirituality. I just want to encourage you that your life is not destroyed. Don’t give up. Walk by faith and trust God that everything works out for your good. You can continue to build your family, even without your beloved wife. Turn that energy to continue nurturing your children and build the trust and loving relationship with them. I know you are hurting right now but you will get through it a stronger person and father for yourself and children. I will be praying for your strength and encouragement from the Lord.
Dude just because your ex was gaslighting you doesn’t mean spiritual fruit isn’t a real thing. You probably do have spiritual fruit but she being wicked wanted to get one last strike at you before she left and justify herself. She’s crazy and I had a friend like that also a “christian” but left her boyfriend of years to date women. I am not her friend anymore because he stayed with when she was sick and he took good care of her, you can’t fix stupid.
I am a young pastor and I came across your testimony and I thank God I did. You are a living example of 1 Peter 3:1-2. I needed a real life testimony to be able to share with my sisters in Christ who are in this exact position. Thank you for sharing it so passionately. May God continue to bless your marriage and family.
I’m asking for Prayers for our marriage. My husband has turned back to drinking and has been more abusive the last 5 years. I’m still Praying for him but no longer living with him. We have been separated for over a year now. I’m Sad but still believing. I’m working on my relationship with God. Thank you for sharing your story and Encouragement. Please keep Us in your Prayers!!!😢🙏🙏🙏
I am so sorry, my heart breaks for you. I am going through a similar situation and know how it feels. My husband decided he wanted to separate and we have been sepaerated for almost 2 years . He has since relapsed in a narcotic addiction and other vices. It’s truly sad but I am standing holding onto Gods promise 🙏🏻
I'm tired of the wait. He's on auto pilot. Could care less if we go to church or not. Only cares about his fleshly desires. I feel single, spiritually. The only time he prayed daily, on his knees was when i wanted a divorce. I was literally checked out. God opened my eyes and brought me out of my hopeless mindset. Now, all i can think is why does it take a tramatic event for him to seek the Lord. I NEED a leader. I fear what God may allow to get his attention again. Not a divorse but what about a health concern . Pray for my husband and for me. He knows better than he's doing.
This is my life. 24 years we’ve been together and he has now been diagnosed with dementia. The dementia has softened his anger. He still has really bad days where his words hurt so deeply but not as many of those days. I just stopped trying and gave it to God. I have to focus on my relationship with God and leave all else at His feet.
I pray every day that God will help me be the wife Peter tells us to be and almost every day I fail miserably. You said quit letting our husbands hurt us and I believe that is key. I will now add to my prayer that God would help me to overlook the offenses. Thank you so much for this video and encouragement ❤
Please join me in praying for my husband, Andrew. He was raised in a very legalistic church and was severely abused by his parents as a child. He also was an active combat vet during the war in Iraq and struggles with PTSD, which he self-medicates with alcohol and weed. He has such a good heart, but he has so much underlying pain that it is hard for him to understand the concept of God's grace.
Why is it that there are so many believing wives with unbelieving husbands, but I rarely find anyone with the reverse? I pray and hope that my wife can love Jesus one day. It's so hard to not give up hope.
I am an example of an unbelieving woman who is finally in the word. My shame kept me from feeling worthy enough to be part of the Christian community. His patience and compassion was a light that led me to let that mustard seed grow.
Oh friend, big hugs! Trust me, I know how hard it can be! I don’t say these things lightly. But keep leaning on the Lord! Keep digging in and growing in your walk. One day at a time! Xoxoxo
Everything you describe is my marriage. He professes to be a Christian, but no fruit. 15 yrs of trying different things, ways, prayers and to be honest, it just keeps getting worse. Now the main arguments are about him wanting the kids and I to partake in things that are not godly, that are very worldly (sometimes demonic). We say “no thank you” and he gets very angry. I’ve just been trying to keep the peace when he is home; sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s very exhausting. I’ve been praying for so long for a change in my husband’s heart, for him to submit to the Lord and follow Christ with his whole heart. I won’t give up praying for him. God is good, no matter my circumstances. He is faithful and always provides my needs. Prayers from any of the ladies here would be most appreciated! Thank you for this video! Helps me to know I’m not alone. ❤️ God bless
Such wisdom because it is the word of God. It might be good to remind the ladies of this sometimes. More broken homes could be prevented. We don’t always get instant answers to prayers. We have to do our part of putting God first and grow in our own maturity in Him. Thank you.
There is this Christian movie that is like C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. This movie is called Nefarious which is about a demon possessed death row inmate that is having a psychological evaluation from an atheist. The demon in the prisoner brags about how the atheist has fallen for his schemes. This might wake your husband up.
Sister, we ladies wiĺl be holding you and your children before our Heavenly Daddy for protection while HE hounds your husband into love and submission for HIMSELF! To God be all The Glory. Do not give up....God bless your household beyond measure.. ❤ & 🙏🏻
❤ I will put your family in my prayers. My husband also is struggling right now with being fruitful and having conviction. Sometimes he will play media that is very awful and seems demonic for sure ..and I don't like it in front of the kids. Let alone asking them to engage...would be infuriating. But letting rage take the wheel isn't ok I know. Hard situation. Keep strong. Maintain that spiritual armor! Ephesians 6:10 ❤
Have you ever heard of the book Created to Be His Helpmeet, by Debbie Pearl? You may want to check that out. I think her godly wisdom is pretty spot on when it comes to a Christian wife and the unbelieving husband. Praying for you both.
I am in this situation and thank you soo much for the encouragement. Married for 2 years with a 5 month old beautiful son and my husband recently shared with me that he no longer believes in God, Jesus and the Bible. I have cried several times and feel so lust as I tried discussing this with him. After reading 1Peter3 and listening to you and others and a completely leaving it in God’s hands and trusting HIM with everything, I feel some peace and I will love and submit to my husband and work on myself to be that vessel that the lord will use. Thank you for your prayers for me and other women experiencing this. I am soo glad I found your channel.
When he is struggling and he sees the peace in you that you have because the Holy Spirit he will want to come back .. continue praying for him WITH your heart
Thank you for sharing your story. This is also my story, but it’s not over yet. I have faith that my husband will also come to love and serve Christ. Such great encouragement! Blessings to you and your family!
I just found your channel recently and I know with my whole heart our Lord brought me to you. I’ve learned so much already and this topic today just confirmed I’m in the right place. My husband has a false and broken belief in the Lord and it’s overwhelming to navigate as I seek the lord. I believe God will eventually reach him and he will receive Him. Praise God in advance! I don’t know how long it will take but I know Jesus is going after my husband. Thank you for your encouragement and sharing Gods wisdom and word with us sister❤
I love your story! This is so encouraging and reaffirming the things God has been showing me as well. I have a long story - my husband and I used to lead worship and prayer nights and soon after getting married- he walked away from everything and I felt like “wait! This isn’t what I signed up for?!” But God has had an amazing plan! It’s been 11 years and we are still a work in progress but suddenly he’s been coming to church. There is SO much to the story but there’s been a break through. So if you are in the thick of this- don’t give up! I SO relate to this story! Trust the Lord. Two things God really showed me was to share an venerable heart to my husband and submit to my husband (out of worship to the Lord) and pray! Our Lord is trustworthy and good!
ik this is true bc the Lord told me when you change your husband will not going to lie i started seeing change in my husband while i was focusing on my walk then i gave up not being consistent bc the spiritual warfare was picking up and took my eyes off jesus but now im back pray for me that i will be persistent this time abd keep my eyes on jesus
Good stuff, Heidi! I have found this to be true in my own marriage. Also, when I am busy nagging and manipulating and complaining trying to control, I do not experience God’s peace. When I work on fully trusting in God and letting go of that control, that’s when I have His peace.
Thank you! This is so encouraging!! I feel the Lord directed me to your site today!!! I’m ready to trust God and do this , not only for my husband but children too!!! I’m trusting in His Promises!!❤
Thank you! I needed to hear this message AGAIN! I’ve known these things for a few years now yet I continue to nag, pout and give him a major guilt trip! Honestly, my husband is in full blown rebellion right now- trying to prove a point that I will never be able to change him! And I know he’s right… I can’t change him but I know the One who can yet I continue to be the one trying! I know I need to surrender him over to the Lord once and for all! It’s just so hard when we are clearly on two different paths! He’s living for the world and I am trying to die to self and live for what’s to come! Everything is a battle from our finances to just our daily ways of living! I hate what he loves and vice versa! It’s such a challenge! But I know there are many women in the same boat! Thank you for sharing your story! It gives me hope! ❤️🙏🏻✝️
Thank you for your post. You took the words right out of my mouth. Thank you God for showing me I’m not alone in this pain and struggle. Rooting for you as I feel like I fail daily as well. Finding encouragement in this
This is my story. And it’s been 29 years. God has spoke to me about true surrendering about a year ago. And I’m trying every day. It’s so hard to not get discouraged and I struggle with is part of the problem my faith. I pray the Lord helps me overcome my unbelief that my prayer will be answered.
Amen! I was convicted of my nagging as well. The Holy Spirit truly showed me how my conduct should be. Thank you sister in Christ for sharing! God Bless you
Excellent!!! Been there!!! God is able! 1Peter is what God used with me and Peter (my husband)! It sounds like exactly what I went through. But we served together in the last few years of marriage. He is in heaven now.
I cannot imagine telling my wife I wanted to go to seminary and have her respond to me like that. I honestly cannot picture how that would play out. I don’t know why I’m focused on that part… but here we are.
I struggle so much coming from church feeling so uplifted and I feel such a heavy sick feeling of him saying im forcing to put him in a box that he doesn’t want to be in. I try and just give to God and focus on my relationship and my walk with God. When I’m home alone and he’s out with friends I feel alone and so heavy hearted and cry. I asked in church to pray for my husband. He says he will go to church for me I tell him I want him to go because he wants to. I need help and guidance, our 10 year marriage is hurting.
@@Perezfambak it says in the Bible to not push, let God speak to him and let God. Let go and let God. It is not my place but His. All I can do right now is pray show him God’s love and be a godly wife. He told me he is seeing changes. I’m just watering the mustard seed and allowing it space to grow
It’s amazing that I came across your video. I’m currently struggling with the same issues with my wife. My wife is Catholic and attend church every week. She says she believes in Jesus but I do not see her carry herself in Christ like fashion. I came to Christ 1 year ago. Thank you for your encouraging and informative video.❤
I don't quite know what led me to your videos, but I am so glad that I found you. I am with my husband for 17 years and next year we'll be married thirteen years. I gave up after ten years and we separated for almost two years but we're back together and although things are better than they were, they are still not where they should be. I would be eternally grateful for your prayers for him, for me, and for us.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this, I’m 33 and married 10 years and this is exactly what I’m going through and I’m so glad to see you not sugar coating anything and sharing this truth and teaching us younger women how to be biblical women and even how exactly to help bring our “believing” husband to Christ. God bless you ❤🙏
Amen sister! I'm currently in the midst of this. I gave my husband to the Lord and am working on myself at being a better Christian. Fighting the enemy daily, taking every thought captive!
“Every thought captive” is *mind-blowing* because your brain is actually re-wiring new pathways. You are literally becoming a new creation. Praise God, His mercy endures forever!
You might not realize how honest and helpful this video is. I needed this, I’m going through this now with my husband(our family)❤ I thank you for this amazing video that gave me hope to keep going🙏🏼
Amazing testimony. My husband has grown a lot over the years but don't think he's given everything to Christ. I pray for him and my daughter constantly. I know God will work in them in His time. Wonderful video Heidi.
Thank you sister, My husband and I go up and down. I’ve been called many names by my husband,Jehovah Witness, a Nazi Christian, and have just felt so hurt, because I wouldn’t allow our son to watch what he was watching. What you said about in Ephesians chapter 6 that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. I have literally seen this. I need to submit FULLY but I’m terrified, because I’ve told my husband that I need my alone time with the Lord, and where I can’t get comfort from my husband I only find from God. Please keep praying sister, my husband and I have a son who is autistic and I’m trying to homeschool him with an online Christian School (his second year) and I’m struggling. I don’t know how to juggle being a teacher, a mom, and a wife but stepping away and not overwhelming myself. 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you
This message, soothed a few wounds. My husband works in an environment where he gets impacted with a lot of evil, my prayer for him is that he persists in his faith, that wherever he goes, he will bare the fruit of Christ. Thank you for sharing such an intimate message.
This was AWESOME! I lost a friend and family members who were not supportive of my marriage, one of the reasons being my husband was a non-believer but always supported my walk with Christ, prayed with me and even attended church with me when I asked. But I focused, and feel encouraged to continue my walk with Jesus Christ and to pray that I am showing a better example of Christlike behavior so that I can be a better woman, mother and wife to my husband. ☺️😍
I'm dating a wonderful kind man that treats me with such care and kindness, but he doesn't believe in Christ or God. He truly cares for others and is highly considerate. I just want to ask, is the pain of him not sharing your beliefs, worth the good parts? Lots of other comments mentioned abusive non-believers, but what if they are kind and loving, and willing to wait for marriage and respect your belief? Is it worth it? I see so many people lose out of all of their fertile years waiting for someone. And others who seemingly did everything right only to have their spouse lose belief and leave them.
@ I agree with you girl ❤️🥰whether that’s right or wrong, I’m not sure💝☺️but I believe that God wouldn’t send someone so kind and special to you if it wasn’t for a specific purpose ☺️
@Lindizzyaz this is a question only God can answer pray and fast and seek His wisdom. He knows what his plan and purpose is for you. And WHO he has purposed for you.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Currently in this situation. Although you didn’t say anything I don’t already know, it’s time for me to put this in to practice instead of just telling myself “I need to do this.” Time to act. ❤
Thank you for this. Needed it so much. God bless you. My heart has been so broken and I have felt so alone in this walk with the exception of knowing the Lord has his hand in mine and a hand full of wonderful women praying with me and for us. ❤
Praise the Lord! I’ve been praying for my husband too. Thank You, Father for letting me hear this testimony. I trust You and Your timing, Father. My husband is Yours and please guide me to become more like Jesus. Thank You for your love!
After we had kids, I put my foot down about going to church. I told my husband that his Dad took HIM to church every Sunday and he needed to take HIS kids to church. Me telling him that was whst finally got him to start going to church. And he even enjoyed it.
Thanks for this. Really needed it. My husband professes to be Christian, is loving and caring, but has a bit of a drinking problem. I needed the reminder that I need to surrender him to Christ. Prayers will be appreciated.
Thank you. Needed this reminder. Husband is divorcing me and this week is first meeting in courts and first time seeing each other shy of two years. Still, this is wonderful reminder to continue this. I was getting bogged down by the harsh realities that come with divorce. While faithfully walking with God, I asked him to speak again. This was clear guidance from God. Just continue to be still, dont push my own beliefs, and let God do the changing. In this video, the marriage won, it appears mine has failed, but, I trust my life in God’s hands.❤
I needed this reminder to just focus on the Lord, His word, and pray! I have been praying about this every day!!!! I spoke to an older lady at church and she told me this also. We are now praying together at every service for salvation for my husband and family and for her family. What a blessing this message was today, thank you!
I want to thank you for this video. I've had a relationship with Christ since age 16. I'm now 27. I graduated from a Bible college with a Bible degree. I know what the Word says and I know who Christ is. It's safe to say that I "know" what I'm supposed to be doing as a wife to help bring my husband to Christ. But my emotions and need for control rule over all else. I've recently started in this journey of giving God the controls and simply trusting in Him that He will bring my husband truly to His side. I'm by no means great at this yet - being the wife and mother God's called me to be - I fail almost daily. This requires a new level of focus and submission to Christ than I've ever had before. I'm glad to say that I'm not trying like I used to... instead I'm learning to fully trust Him. Again thank you for this video; it's the encouragement I needed to hear today to keep me fueled for this journey, this gift of marriage God has given us.
God was also testing and refining you during your arguments after you had surrendered your husband to the Lord. I’m sure there was a time when you learned to give a soft answer rather than reacting in anger while also setting boundaries and being a good example.
God is not testing us-He loves us! He is giving our spouses free will, the same reason we still have evil in the world. It really is about our spouses, not us. There is no condemnation in Christ 😊 James 1:13-14 - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed
Last night, I had a difficult conversation with my husband. I told him that I no longer feel comfortable doing some of the things I used to do with him because they were not Christlike. I explained that I wouldn’t join those events anymore because I want to stay truthful to my convictions about the sins I’ve repented of. He was very unhappy and even called me an “extreme Christian.” But I won’t stop praying for him. This morning, the first thing I did was listen to your video to focus my spiritual mind on Jesus. All I can do is pray and entrust my husband to Jesus. I love him, and I believe Jesus loves him even more.
Wow this is very encouraging. I married an unbeliever and he is even involved in false religion. I repented however I had to separate because he became physically abusive towards me when I shared the Truth of the Gospel. I've been separated for 1 year and I now realize it's about me, not him. The Lord desires to change me also. I am praying my spouse will repent and come to Christ, so we can be a family and my husband will love me with the love of Christ.
This popped up on my feed at a time when i really needed it. God's timing is perfect and being patient is hard. I feel encouraged to keep on praying for my husband for however long it takes!
This has been my life for a long while now! You are speaking the story of my life. I need to get more disciplined and not let Satan gets his foothold in me to get me to stop
This is very encouraging!!!!! FATHER is telling don’t desire to be with my family. Meaning just keep praying and serving where I can. I keep wanting to to to talk but they my husband and children cannot hear me. I have to give to the FATHER!!!! I LOVE my family so much !!!!!!! I miss them . My prayer is they all be gathered from the heathen!!! 😥
I've watched many videos on this topic but I really feel the Holy Spirit convicting me through your testimony. Thank you for being so honest and open about your experiences. This has been a TRUE encouragement and wake up call for my personal walk to lead in all of this and be a witness. Thank you and God bless you and your family ❤️
I hope you see this as this video was posted 5 months ago, but God knew i needed to see it now. Our marriage is just coming out of a major crisis and will take a long time to heal. This video popped up as a suggestion on TH-cam today. Not a coincidence. I only saw this channel a week ago and immediately felt drawn to subscribe. Not a coincidence. It is soooo refreshing to hear someone be transparent and speak unapologetically the truth of situations, difficulties, give godly advice,... Thank you and know that you've been used by the Most High God.
This has truly been encouraging. I’m leaning into spending intentional time with God and my 2.5 year old daughter does it with me. My husband has been doing Bible studies more consistently but I can see and feel the enemy pushing and tempting him back to old habits and ideas. It’s so discouraging and it’s hard not to throw up my hands or weep that anything will ever change. I trust in Gods timing and could use prayers to have a patient heart while He works on my husband.
A part 2 to this could be about leaving a gap and submitting BEFORE he’s in line or if he IS in line but you’ve been doing his job in various areas. I heard you talk about that briefly in the biblical womanhood series and the “gap” concept really impacted my marriage. ♥️
I am currently going thru a similar situation with an unbelieving husband. Tried it all nagging, complaining, manipulating to no effect. i began ny walk with Lord our relationship went downhill. He is a non believer and ever since i began my walk with Lord, it has become very difficult. I gave surrendered to the Lord as I understand only Jesus can soften a hardened heart. i have immeresed myself in hearing the wird, reading the Bible and trying my best to be a light and reflect Christ like character. God is faithful and nothing is too hard for him. Trusting him to draw my husband out of the darkness into His light...thanks for sharing..greatly encouraged..God Bless
I needed to hear this! Great reminder to surrender my husband to the Lord, stand up lovingly for what is right in God's eyes and continuing to seek the Lord. By the Spirit, my husband wil come to Christ!
Everything you shared is true! It took my husband 25 years to come the point of professing to be a Christian! But guess what? After another 25 years he is not showing fruit or growing! But I came to the point of not listening with “his” ears and telling God “oh, Lord! He so needs to hear this! Now I listen with my own ears! I focus on my spiritual growth! Being intimate with my Lord and my obedience is what Jesus wants from me right now and my efforts to live a Christlike life may impact my husband someday. Thank you for your teaching, Heidi! I too, had to learn by myself but God is faithful and I am still hopeful!
Wow this is what I do ... Listening with" his" ears, always searching for something to lead him to Christ. Thank you for the conviction, that I need to stop doing that and listen with my own ears and focus on my own relationship with Christ.
I needed this video. Thank you so much. I am just starting to read the Bible and taking our child to church. It is so awkward to be there without….and with my mother in law 😂 I needed to be reminded to focus on myself.
Okay I just had I don’t know what you caught like an Epiphany moment not even joking. I have been leaning more towards the Bible and God and etc. trying to learn how to pray the whole 9 yards because I always consider myself a Christian but you know like a warm water Christian, like nothing serious at all never took it serious. Last night I didn’t fall this girl on TikTok and she’s just recently had this awakening. I guess you could say to Christ and at first I thought it was kind of silly. Then I started watching her stuff and it was like I was meant to be watching it, weirdest feeling in the world. Last night video popped up from her TikTok talking about Peter 3 verse 1-2. So I listen to the video because my husbands not necessarily making the smartest choices or acting in the best way. Kind of how you were describing your husband so I seen her TikTok and it kind of sparked the interest so I’m now in here actually Bible journaling right now in first Peter, listening to your video in the background and then you just said the same Bible verse that she said last night. That was like a hit in the face moment, because what is the coincidence that I would run into both of you women referencing the same verse in less than 12 hours. God is speaking to me and I’ve been praying about it a lot lately. I have goosebumps right now.. all I can say is wow I am totally mind blown. 17:27
I love this for you! I can identify with so much of what you said! He is working and moving in our lives and those of our spouses and partners in life. I’m so glad he showed himself so clearly. A God wink if you will. He loves you and has encouraged you! You go girl!
This is one of the best encouraging videos I've come across because I was locked in as soon as I realized my story is almost identical, yet Im still trying to hang in there til the breakthrough with my husband. Thank you for sharing because I scroll past videos of couples that didn't experience these hardships.
As a single mom with adhd, I get upset with myself when I don’t keep up. I make things harder for myself honestly when I don’t. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed. Thank you for making videos like this. None of us can keep it together every minute of the day. I pray that God helps us all get through this life and gives us the strength to have discipline and grace.
Thank you for this encouragement. Truly. I thought I was alone in this because, you’re right, it’s not something women want to talk about. Thank you for sharing your story. I know what I need to do now.
It's awesome to hear your backstory! So many of us can relate to your story. Thank you for pointing us and our husbands to Christ. Your channel is the most calm and encouraging channel for real life advice that I've found. Thank you!!! 💗🙏💗
Thank you for such a down to earth chat. When you finally disclosed what changes you made in your own life and surrendered your husband to God I knew why I was listening to your video out of any that I could have clicked on. I’ve had the worst day feeling overwhelmed and have cried and prayed but to be honest have felt so abandoned. My husband and I have been together 4 years. I was widowed 7 years ago and his marriage ended a similar amount of time ago. Both with scars from the past we took quite a while to get married and have now been married about 6 weeks. He’s a wonderful, gentle, patient …. atheist. You video was confirmation to what God’s been trying to gently say to me for a while now “spend good quality time with me”. Thank you again.
what about when he tells me to not go to church and “be normal keep your faith for yourself” But at the other side he drives me to church when I need that. Also we stop having sex until marriage,we are 8 years together and engaged
My dear sister, please, PLEASE heed my advice. If this man is an unbeliever and you are not yet married, DON’T MARRY HIM. If you choose to disregard God’s command to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, as I foolishly did, you will suffer the consequences. Yes, there are some women whose husbands eventually come to faith. There are also many whose husbands do not. Regardless, if you disobey God in this area you are signing yourself up for a long, hard road and much suffering. I’m 22 years in and it has been so hard. Don’t do it! God’s commands are for your benefit. Be wise and obey, however hard that may be.
Wow this is my first time here hearing from you.. I stumbled across your video by accident honestly or maybe it was God‘s will for me to be here.. my husband and I have been married for at least two years now and our marriage is very rocky a lot of arguments over our spiritual life…he is a man who was born and raised in church, but does not live the lifestyle and now after seeing this video I can humbly say that I haven’t been living the best lifestyle myself.. we’ve gotten to a point where we’ve both thought about divorcing because I’m trying to grow more spiritually and he’s not interested whatsoever .. there are things about me that is shifting and changing and he doesn’t like that. I spend more time in the word and declining old activities please keep us in prayer because I want to fight for our marriage, but most importantly I want to win my unbeliever husband back to Christ.. thank you for opening my eyes on how to do this by letting go and fixing myself to live a righteous lifestyle..
I used to feel like my husband and I were "unequally yoked". In other words, I felt spiritually superior to him. I wanted him to lead, but I had no concept of submission. I felt like he had to be good enough first, then I would be willing to submit. As it turns out, most of what I thought I knew about scripture was wrong. I grew up in an unbiblical church. God opened my eyes to all of that and over the last few years, we've been studying the Bible and growing together in our God-given roles.
Same! ❤️
I feel this so much. Thank you for sharing
Same!
Don't give up ladies
This. My behavior says a lot to my family and once I started behaving biblically, they soon followed.
Yep! I can relate. When Christ took ahold of me and I started reading my Bible my husband told me this was going to be the end of our relationship. And after a few years he became a follower of Christ. And now 8 years later we both live everyday for the Lord. Greatest blessing ever. Raising our 3 boys to love Jesus! Thank you
All glory to God!!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this comment and sharing your testimony, I’m going through this right now! My husband has had one foot out the door since I got saved last November 2023 and I’m just sticking it out and trusting the Lord to turn this situation around for His glory!!!
I have been praying for my husband Eric for 30 years! What am i doing wrong?? We both have trauma backgrounds. I have asked the Lord to help me with him and my 2 adult children.
It's so wild that a person will want a divorce bc you are trying to grow towards Christ and read your Bible. It's so frustrating. Prayer is key.
We´ve had a life changing few months and a lot of tough things happening and in the middle of all this chaos my husband got saved! It´s a miracle. He started reading the bible without my knowledge and came to me and asked me to teach him to pray. I was chocked to say the least. Now we are finally on the same page and we can share our faith and that is the best feeling ever. Thank you Jesus!
ALL glory to God! Praise Him-- how beautiful! 😭 Praying for you both as you walk, together, in the narrow path of the Lord! XOXO
Thank you. ❤
Oh! Tears started to roll when read your message and him asking you to help him to pray WOW
God bless you and your whole household x
Thank you
Can I ask all of you sisters in Christ, please pray for my husband (BB). The doc gave him a few weeks left, stage 4 cancer. He needs Jesus. I have gone thru from A-Z just as the wonderful woman talks about in the video. Had small breakthrough last month, back to rejection. I can't fathom him dieing in his sins! This is in God's hands. Need prayer warriors. A soul hangs in the balance. 🙏🙏🙏
PRAYING for your hubs, BB, to humble himself & accept the ultimate gift of salvation, making Jesus his personal LORD & savior. I'm so sorry he's suffering with cancer, that must be so hard on you, too. The other day Justin Peters shared a powerful baptism testimonial with the title: This May Be The Most Moving Video You'll See In 2024
Maybe check it out & see if it might move him to repent & put his faith in Jesus.
I’m sorry this is happening-terrible situation. I just said a prayer for your husband. I pray for you, sister. May the Lord soften your husband’s heart and strengthen you in this hour of need and sorrow ❤✝ God bless you
Praying for your husband
The unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife if she’s a believer. 1st Corinthians 7:14-16
Just prayed for you ....
This is 💯 on point! After giving my heart to Christ I went through something very similar as my husband became so angry that I was changing so much as I grew in Christ. I started standing my ground in love and refusing to participate in ungodly things and I started to show him even more love when he would say mean awful things. As I set a Christ like example in my home and turned to prayer and studying Gods word and meditating on it day and night I started to see a big change in my marriage. God is truly faithful and tho my husband isn’t serving Christ yet he is very very close and even went to church with me to see me get baptized and now respects my prayer time as I kneel every night at my bedside and my husband has even now started asking questions about the Bible and I finally had an opportunity to open my Bible and show him how to read it ( he didn’t know what the books and chapters and verses worked in reading it. He’s brand new to this and I can see The Holy Spirit directing him and softening his heart). I don’t do anything except let Gods light shine brightly from within me and pray diligently for both my husband and my daughters salvation. Both of whom are showing signs of God working in their hearts. God is so Good!✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
ALL glory to God! Thank you for sharing!
I used to think was as the only one that was going through this. I said to myself before watching this that I would do whatever advice you give. So now I am equipped. I became a born again believer 4 years ago and my husband is still not there. In fact, he doesn't even go to church at all. I even stopped and almost lost hope. And then I came across this video. It is like I had TH-cam for this video only. Thank you. This is incredible. You have to have gone through this or be going through this to understand just how difficult it is. But God.
I am going through this currently! This is inspiring and encouraging to hear!
Praise God! 🙏
I would hate to have a religious wife...
Thank you sweet sister! Thank you for this glorious testimony. ❤
I literally have to pause just to sob. Finally. Finally. Someone who has walked through this and gets it. I’ve only been married a year (together for 5) and he’s in his “rebellion”. He didn’t grow up in the church and neither did I but now more than ever he is resisting anything Jesus related. This spoke so clearly to my spirit and I feel such comfort. Letting go is so freeing. Thank you for sharing your testimony, God really did speak through you to me. Please pray for me to go back to my first love Jesus and keep my eyes on Him no matter how hard it gets. Pray for him and his family to experience the One who changes everyone He touches. Thank you 🤍
Praying for you and your husband ❤
can someone please pray for me and my wife, she is not a believer. She is so caught up in the world of man and is blinded by the evil on earth. Pray for me to have patience and show her without words the testament of Jesus Christ.
Yes. I will pray for both of you. I have the same problem. Let's show the same grace, mercy, forgiveness, gentleness, and leadership, that Jesus does for us. Remember that God's always working even if we cannot see it.
Im slowly learning how to be Biblical wife and my husband and I have never been happier. He is growing into his leader role so well. He still doesnt come with me to church even though I go every Sunday. He recently told me that with everything going on in the political climate and seeing how insane everyone has gotten, he is starting to believe that the Bible is true and Christianity is the worlds truest religion. Hes coming around, all I can do is pray and let the Lord shine through me without words.
I have never clicked on a video so fast! I have been struggling with a VERY unbelieving husband and have been looking for help! Thank you thank you thank you SO much for making a video on this. I now have this along side my prayers ❤
You are not alone. I too have a”VERY unbelieving husband”. It’s very lonely.
@@kari7398 @Faunaflys You might want to read "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge, former Navy SEAL. Jesus is the very definition of masculine.
The Holly Spirit only is the one responsible for anyone’s conversion
Praying alongside of you all! XOXO
What an honest, authentic, humble message. good job exactly what I need from the Lord 😊
Love your testimony. Never stop praying! I prayed for over 2 decades for my husband to be serious about his walk with the Lord. ❤
And what’s the result sister is he now saved ?
My story is similar. Once I took my hands off of it and realized it’s not my job to be his Holy Spirit and trusted God to get to His son. I focused on my relationship with the Lord and my husband is coming around. Slowly but surely.
Yes, I am so tired of being my husband's Holy Spirit. He claims he's Christian but it's like he has no conscience! I know all the verses about how I should be but just don't know how to execute what I know.
Hey sis, I just wanted to share that THE BOOK that finally gave me practical insight on Biblical Submission (I read a lot of them) is Created to be his helpmeet by Debbie Pearl. That book is a gem, and every bit of progress I’ve seen in my marriage I credit to her advice. It is also a very hopeful book showing many testimonies of women who “won their husbands” as Peter describes. ❤️
I have been married to an angry unsaved man now for 33 years. I have been saved for 37 years. As a typical woman I married him thinking “I can change him”. I have paid the price for over 3 decades now. Not going to lie, it been horrible. I would never ever do it over again. My 3 adult children are my saving grace. Only one has been born again. They were raised in church but two want nothing to do with God. All 3 children think I am crazy for staying in the marriage. All their friends parents (including “Christian’s “) are divorced. They always tell me “just leave him mom”. I am not a hero to them 🤷♀️. I have tried everything but finally handed him over to God about 15 years ago. He is Gods problem. I pray for his salvation, even though I am so weary and discouraged. I don’t even feel like it at this point but, I do. I have come to the realization that not every person will be saved. Yea okay, Gods got this but don’t lead people on with that catch phrase allowing them to think it going to happen. It may happen on his death bed but as of now it’s been 35 years of hardship for me. I’m not sugarcoating this. My husband is getting worse, as time is getting crazier, my husband is getting more and more agitated and angry. I have watched his whole face/countenance change over the years. He is not physically harming me but he mentally and verbally abused me. I’m not looking for sympathy, I made a terrible decision 33 years ago, I am definitely paying the price. I am such a joyful and thankful person and I love to help people and animals in need. I do it outside of the perimeters of my marriage. That’s my story, don’t give people false hope. Do not marry someone who is not saved!! Don’t do it!! You will regret it 😢
I am praying for God to give you peace. I'm asking him to save your husband and transform him with grace. In Christ's name, Amen
It is interesting, I think, how serious the approval of a potential spouse was and the involvement of the family…. Now we’ve largely done away with that and testimonies like this are the norm. But God. His word is truth and we continue to live in His ways and trust His saving grace! Praying along side of you, sweet friend!
I agree with you, I was born again 1 year ago and married my fiancé who is not born again. We were together when I was born again and went through a lot of trials before the Lord saved me. A great conviction to stop having sex outside marriage set in about a week after my new birth. Before Jesus, I was jealous, manipulative, full of anger and my husband was afraid to marry me, which I can understand. He soon saw that I wasn't the same person he once knew and wanted to marry me. He waited 2 months before the wedding without sexual relations, and it was my pastor at the time who married us. I don't come from a Christian background, in fact I'm the only Christian in my family. It's very difficult because I feel misunderstood by the people I love around me. I don't recommend anyone to marry an unbeliever because it's very difficult to live with someone who doesn't know Jesus. In spite of everything, the Lord is gracious and I see the blessings of marriage in many ways. I have repented of having made a bad choice of husband. My husband is very open to the Gospel and lets me live my faith completely. He has difficulty believing that the Lord can love him because he feels dirty. he's not sure yet. I pray every day for his salvation and I ask the Lord for wisdom to help me love him as he loves me. I pray for you my sister 🙏🏻
@@Emilievaillancourt2294
Thank you for sharing your story. May God give you peace and strength and endurance to honor your marriage covenant 🙏. I take rest in knowing that God sees our struggles and knows are heart. We look forward to eternity for our rewards living with Jesus. God bless you sister, I do pray for your husband to receive his name in the book of life
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for warning others not to marry an unbeliever. 39 years for me of living with an angry unloving unbeliever. God may save him, or He may not. Do what Scripture says and don’t be yoked with unbeliever! The consequences of my sin have hurt more than just me. I have regretted my foolish sinful desperate choice every day for all these years. Just because I pray for his salvation with depth and earnestness and have tried long and hard to love him in word and actions, does not mean the Lord will save him. I have to let go of hope that He will. He knows best. He is God. His love is real and unchanging and everlasting. Blessed be the Name of the LORD.
My husband divorced me almost 8 years ago after he got caught having an adulterous affair with a woman at woek. I was a baby Christian at that time and tried to fo everything I could to save the marriage. I have grown up so much spiritually. I realize only God can xhange his heart. I continue to pray for his salvation and our reconciliation. I am committed to standing for him and our marriage until death do us part.
1 Corinthians 7
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
God untethered you from this man by His grace! He allowed for his sin to expose him and lead to the only biblical grounds for divorce. You can ask the Lord for a believing husband and marry him without being in adultery.
Amen. I'm in the same boat as you. I've grown so much as a believer. Hubby is in God's hands. And God hates divorce. I'm trusting God to change him. As long as they are alive God is at work 😂. Till death do us part. Stay strong and hold on to God. His timing is perfect. I'm standing by you sis ❤
God hates divorce because of the pain that it causes everyone. Not that He doesn't understand that sometimes you have to leave. My husband was a Christian but had an anger and lust problem. He was afraid to tell me how far gone he was. He was even ogling, trying to get with other women early on. It was devastating. I believe that I should have divorced him a long time ago. Because I believe that it would have made our lives much more peaceful.
I've been a believer in Jesus Christ since 1986. Everyone has their own spiritual journey that they are on. My wife of 28 years left me and my children after using the "I don't see any real spiritual fruit in your life..." argument to allege that I wasn't in fact a true follower of Christ and she believed she had to leave in order to not be unequally yoked. At the time my grown children even took her side. 16 months later and she's an "out and proud" lesbian who dates women. But it's too late. My life and all that I worked to establish as a family is destroyed. Be very careful about how you "observe" spiritual fruit in other people's lives. You don't know as much as you think you do when you judge a person using that spiritual fruit metric.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. My husband is a true non-believer, calls himself an atheist now, but I’m not leaving him and we met and married in church. It’s a difficult situation but I’m not even thinking of that bc I love him and our family. Your wife had other plans that had nothing to do with your spirituality. I just want to encourage you that your life is not destroyed. Don’t give up. Walk by faith and trust God that everything works out for your good. You can continue to build your family, even without your beloved wife. Turn that energy to continue nurturing your children and build the trust and loving relationship with them. I know you are hurting right now but you will get through it a stronger person and father for yourself and children. I will be praying for your strength and encouragement from the Lord.
Dude just because your ex was gaslighting you doesn’t mean spiritual fruit isn’t a real thing. You probably do have spiritual fruit but she being wicked wanted to get one last strike at you before she left and justify herself. She’s crazy and I had a friend like that also a “christian” but left her boyfriend of years to date women. I am not her friend anymore because he stayed with when she was sick and he took good care of her, you can’t fix stupid.
I am a young pastor and I came across your testimony and I thank God I did. You are a living example of 1 Peter 3:1-2. I needed a real life testimony to be able to share with my sisters in Christ who are in this exact position. Thank you for sharing it so passionately. May God continue to bless your marriage and family.
All glory to God!
I’m asking for Prayers for our marriage. My husband has turned back to drinking and has been more abusive the last 5 years. I’m still Praying for him but no longer living with him. We have been separated for over a year now. I’m Sad but still believing. I’m working on my relationship with God. Thank you for sharing your story and Encouragement. Please keep Us in your Prayers!!!😢🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏻❤️
Praying for you and your situation sis!
❤🙏🏻
I am so sorry, my heart breaks for you. I am going through a similar situation and know how it feels. My husband decided he wanted to separate and we have been sepaerated for almost 2 years . He has since relapsed in a narcotic addiction and other vices. It’s truly sad but I am standing holding onto Gods promise 🙏🏻
I'm tired of the wait. He's on auto pilot. Could care less if we go to church or not. Only cares about his fleshly desires. I feel single, spiritually. The only time he prayed daily, on his knees was when i wanted a divorce. I was literally checked out. God opened my eyes and brought me out of my hopeless mindset. Now, all i can think is why does it take a tramatic event for him to seek the Lord. I NEED a leader. I fear what God may allow to get his attention again. Not a divorse but what about a health concern . Pray for my husband and for me. He knows better than he's doing.
Maybe you should fast and pray on it regularly. P.U.S.H. Pray until something happens🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰
As long as he’s not abusing you keep fighting sister. Is easier said than done trust me I know. Maybe just ignore and live yr life silent treatment.
What do yiou mean by abuse??@Starsunshine777
How are things currently?
praying for you both. Praying for you individually and collectively! 🙏🏾 Have mercy Father!!
Please lift up my husband, Dennis!!! Thank you❤
This is my life. 24 years we’ve been together and he has now been diagnosed with dementia. The dementia has softened his anger. He still has really bad days where his words hurt so deeply but not as many of those days.
I just stopped trying and gave it to God. I have to focus on my relationship with God and leave all else at His feet.
I pray every day that God will help me be the wife Peter tells us to be and almost every day I fail miserably. You said quit letting our husbands hurt us and I believe that is key. I will now add to my prayer that God would help me to overlook the offenses. Thank you so much for this video and encouragement ❤
Please join me in praying for my husband, Andrew. He was raised in a very legalistic church and was severely abused by his parents as a child. He also was an active combat vet during the war in Iraq and struggles with PTSD, which he self-medicates with alcohol and weed. He has such a good heart, but he has so much underlying pain that it is hard for him to understand the concept of God's grace.
😢 may the Lord see him through
And grant him a new heart
Why is it that there are so many believing wives with unbelieving husbands, but I rarely find anyone with the reverse? I pray and hope that my wife can love Jesus one day. It's so hard to not give up hope.
I am an example of an unbelieving woman who is finally in the word. My shame kept me from feeling worthy enough to be part of the Christian community. His patience and compassion was a light that led me to let that mustard seed grow.
Please pray for my husband, my marriage, and our children... This video resonates deeply with me and I am so heartbroken living like this.
Oh friend, big hugs! Trust me, I know how hard it can be! I don’t say these things lightly. But keep leaning on the Lord! Keep digging in and growing in your walk. One day at a time! Xoxoxo
Everything you describe is my marriage. He professes to be a Christian, but no fruit. 15 yrs of trying different things, ways, prayers and to be honest, it just keeps getting worse. Now the main arguments are about him wanting the kids and I to partake in things that are not godly, that are very worldly (sometimes demonic). We say “no thank you” and he gets very angry. I’ve just been trying to keep the peace when he is home; sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s very exhausting. I’ve been praying for so long for a change in my husband’s heart, for him to submit to the Lord and follow Christ with his whole heart. I won’t give up praying for him. God is good, no matter my circumstances. He is faithful and always provides my needs. Prayers from any of the ladies here would be most appreciated! Thank you for this video! Helps me to know I’m not alone. ❤️ God bless
Such wisdom because it is the word of God. It might be good to remind the ladies of this sometimes. More broken homes could be prevented. We don’t always get instant answers to prayers. We have to do our part of putting God first and grow in our own maturity in Him. Thank you.
There is this Christian movie that is like C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. This movie is called Nefarious which is about a demon possessed death row inmate that is having a psychological evaluation from an atheist. The demon in the prisoner brags about how the atheist has fallen for his schemes. This might wake your husband up.
Sister, we ladies wiĺl be holding you and your children before our Heavenly Daddy for protection while HE hounds your husband into love and submission for HIMSELF! To God be all The Glory. Do not give up....God bless your household beyond measure.. ❤ & 🙏🏻
❤ I will put your family in my prayers. My husband also is struggling right now with being fruitful and having conviction. Sometimes he will play media that is very awful and seems demonic for sure ..and I don't like it in front of the kids. Let alone asking them to engage...would be infuriating. But letting rage take the wheel isn't ok I know. Hard situation. Keep strong.
Maintain that spiritual armor!
Ephesians 6:10 ❤
Have you ever heard of the book Created to Be His Helpmeet, by Debbie Pearl? You may want to check that out. I think her godly wisdom is pretty spot on when it comes to a Christian wife and the unbelieving husband. Praying for you both.
This was exactly the perfect “box handed out at the women’s retreat”. Answer to prayer. Thank you, sister.
I am in this situation and thank you soo much for the encouragement. Married for 2 years with a 5 month old beautiful son and my husband recently shared with me that he no longer believes in God, Jesus and the Bible. I have cried several times and feel so lust as I tried discussing this with him. After reading 1Peter3 and listening to you and others and a completely leaving it in God’s hands and trusting HIM with everything, I feel some peace and I will love and submit to my husband and work on myself to be that vessel that the lord will use. Thank you for your prayers for me and other women experiencing this.
I am soo glad I found your channel.
Big hugs, friend!
When he is struggling and he sees the peace in you that you have because the Holy Spirit he will want to come back .. continue praying for him WITH your heart
@@youtubeu6174 thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your story. This is also my story, but it’s not over yet. I have faith that my husband will also come to love and serve Christ. Such great encouragement! Blessings to you and your family!
Same applies to our children. We instruct them, but the biggest impact we have is through our prayers and example.
I’m very thankful to have come across your videos. I’m in the why stage . So many questions.
I just found your channel recently and I know with my whole heart our Lord brought me to you. I’ve learned so much already and this topic today just confirmed I’m in the right place. My husband has a false and broken belief in the Lord and it’s overwhelming to navigate as I seek the lord. I believe God will eventually reach him and he will receive Him. Praise God in advance! I don’t know how long it will take but I know Jesus is going after my husband. Thank you for your encouragement and sharing Gods wisdom and word with us sister❤
Lifting you and your husband up in prayer. God Bless you
I love your story! This is so encouraging and reaffirming the things God has been showing me as well. I have a long story - my husband and I used to lead worship and prayer nights and soon after getting married- he walked away from everything and I felt like “wait! This isn’t what I signed up for?!” But God has had an amazing plan! It’s been 11 years and we are still a work in progress but suddenly he’s been coming to church. There is SO much to the story but there’s been a break through. So if you are in the thick of this- don’t give up! I SO relate to this story!
Trust the Lord.
Two things God really showed me was to share an venerable heart to my husband and submit to my husband (out of worship to the Lord) and pray! Our Lord is trustworthy and good!
ik this is true bc the Lord told me when you change your husband will not going to lie i started seeing change in my husband while i was focusing on my walk then i gave up not being consistent bc the spiritual warfare was picking up and took my eyes off jesus but now im back pray for me that i will be persistent this time abd keep my eyes on jesus
Good stuff, Heidi! I have found this to be true in my own marriage. Also, when I am busy nagging and manipulating and complaining trying to control, I do not experience God’s peace. When I work on fully trusting in God and letting go of that control, that’s when I have His peace.
Thank you! This is so encouraging!! I feel the Lord directed me to your site today!!! I’m ready to trust God and do this , not only for my husband but children too!!! I’m trusting in His Promises!!❤
Thank you! I needed to hear this message AGAIN! I’ve known these things for a few years now yet I continue to nag, pout and give him a major guilt trip! Honestly, my husband is in full blown rebellion right now- trying to prove a point that I will never be able to change him! And I know he’s right… I can’t change him but I know the One who can yet I continue to be the one trying! I know I need to surrender him over to the Lord once and for all! It’s just so hard when we are clearly on two different paths! He’s living for the world and I am trying to die to self and live for what’s to come! Everything is a battle from our finances to just our daily ways of living! I hate what he loves and vice versa! It’s such a challenge! But I know there are many women in the same boat! Thank you for sharing your story! It gives me hope! ❤️🙏🏻✝️
Thank you for your post. You took the words right out of my mouth. Thank you God for showing me I’m not alone in this pain and struggle. Rooting for you as I feel like I fail daily as well. Finding encouragement in this
This is my story. And it’s been 29 years. God has spoke to me about true surrendering about a year ago. And I’m trying every day. It’s so hard to not get discouraged and I struggle with is part of the problem my faith. I pray the Lord helps me overcome my unbelief that my prayer will be answered.
Amen! I was convicted of my nagging as well. The Holy Spirit truly showed me how my conduct should be. Thank you sister in Christ for sharing! God Bless you
Excellent!!! Been there!!! God is able!
1Peter is what God used with me and Peter (my husband)! It sounds like exactly what I went through. But we served together in the last few years of marriage. He is in heaven now.
I cannot imagine telling my wife I wanted to go to seminary and have her respond to me like that. I honestly cannot picture how that would play out. I don’t know why I’m focused on that part… but here we are.
Good thing my husband completely understood why I would ask that. 😎
I struggle so much coming from church feeling so uplifted and I feel such a heavy sick feeling of him saying im forcing to put him in a box that he doesn’t want to be in. I try and just give to God and focus on my relationship and my walk with God. When I’m home alone and he’s out with friends I feel alone and so heavy hearted and cry. I asked in church to pray for my husband. He says he will go to church for me I tell him I want him to go because he wants to. I need help and guidance, our 10 year marriage is hurting.
Have him go with you! If it's a solid church, the preaching may save him
@@Perezfambak it says in the Bible to not push, let God speak to him and let God. Let go and let God. It is not my place but His. All I can do right now is pray show him God’s love and be a godly wife. He told me he is seeing changes.
I’m just watering the mustard seed and allowing it space to grow
It’s amazing that I came across your video. I’m currently struggling with the same issues with my wife. My wife is Catholic and attend church every week. She says she believes in Jesus but I do not see her carry herself in Christ like fashion. I came to Christ 1 year ago. Thank you for your encouraging and informative video.❤
I don't quite know what led me to your videos, but I am so glad that I found you. I am with my husband for 17 years and next year we'll be married thirteen years. I gave up after ten years and we separated for almost two years but we're back together and although things are better than they were, they are still not where they should be. I would be eternally grateful for your prayers for him, for me, and for us.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this, I’m 33 and married 10 years and this is exactly what I’m going through and I’m so glad to see you not sugar coating anything and sharing this truth and teaching us younger women how to be biblical women and even how exactly to help bring our “believing” husband to Christ. God bless you ❤🙏
Thank you so much! I knew this in my spirit. This is just further confirmation. It's very encouraging. Thank you!
Amen sister! I'm currently in the midst of this. I gave my husband to the Lord and am working on myself at being a better Christian. Fighting the enemy daily, taking every thought captive!
“Every thought captive” is *mind-blowing* because your brain is actually re-wiring new pathways. You are literally becoming a new creation. Praise God, His mercy endures forever!
You might not realize how honest and helpful this video is. I needed this, I’m going through this now with my husband(our family)❤ I thank you for this amazing video that gave me hope to keep going🙏🏼
I have a very similar story. Praying for daily growth in each of us. 🙏
Amazing testimony. My husband has grown a lot over the years but don't think he's given everything to Christ. I pray for him and my daughter constantly. I know God will work in them in His time. Wonderful video Heidi.
Praying for you, your husband and daughter. God Bless you
thank you so much xo
@@jenacacruz
Thank you sister,
My husband and I go up and down. I’ve been called many names by my husband,Jehovah Witness, a Nazi Christian, and have just felt so hurt, because I wouldn’t allow our son to watch what he was watching. What you said about in Ephesians chapter 6 that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. I have literally seen this.
I need to submit FULLY but I’m terrified, because I’ve told my husband that I need my alone time with the Lord, and where I can’t get comfort from my husband I only find from God.
Please keep praying sister, my husband and I have a son who is autistic and I’m trying to homeschool him with an online Christian School (his second year) and I’m struggling.
I don’t know how to juggle being a teacher, a mom, and a wife but stepping away and not overwhelming myself. 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
This message, soothed a few wounds. My husband works in an environment where he gets impacted with a lot of evil, my prayer for him is that he persists in his faith, that wherever he goes, he will bare the fruit of Christ. Thank you for sharing such an intimate message.
This was AWESOME! I lost a friend and family members who were not supportive of my marriage, one of the reasons being my husband was a non-believer but always supported my walk with Christ, prayed with me and even attended church with me when I asked. But I focused, and feel encouraged to continue my walk with Jesus Christ and to pray that I am showing a better example of Christlike behavior so that I can be a better woman, mother and wife to my husband. ☺️😍
I'm dating a wonderful kind man that treats me with such care and kindness, but he doesn't believe in Christ or God. He truly cares for others and is highly considerate. I just want to ask, is the pain of him not sharing your beliefs, worth the good parts? Lots of other comments mentioned abusive non-believers, but what if they are kind and loving, and willing to wait for marriage and respect your belief? Is it worth it? I see so many people lose out of all of their fertile years waiting for someone. And others who seemingly did everything right only to have their spouse lose belief and leave them.
@ I agree with you girl ❤️🥰whether that’s right or wrong, I’m not sure💝☺️but I believe that God wouldn’t send someone so kind and special to you if it wasn’t for a specific purpose ☺️
@Lindizzyaz this is a question only God can answer pray and fast and seek His wisdom. He knows what his plan and purpose is for you. And WHO he has purposed for you.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Currently in this situation. Although you didn’t say anything I don’t already know, it’s time for me to put this in to practice instead of just telling myself “I need to do this.” Time to act. ❤
Pray for me. My husband & my children. That I will be a blessing to my husband & children and we can all serve the Lord together.
Thank you for this. Needed it so much. God bless you. My heart has been so broken and I have felt so alone in this walk with the exception of knowing the Lord has his hand in mine and a hand full of wonderful women praying with me and for us. ❤
Praise the Lord! I’ve been praying for my husband too. Thank You, Father for letting me hear this testimony. I trust You and Your timing, Father. My husband is Yours and please guide me to become more like Jesus. Thank You for your love!
After we had kids, I put my foot down about going to church. I told my husband that his Dad took HIM to church every Sunday and he needed to take HIS kids to church. Me telling him that was whst finally got him to start going to church. And he even enjoyed it.
Thanks for this. Really needed it. My husband professes to be Christian, is loving and caring, but has a bit of a drinking problem. I needed the reminder that I need to surrender him to Christ. Prayers will be appreciated.
Thank you. Needed this reminder. Husband is divorcing me and this week is first meeting in courts and first time seeing each other shy of two years.
Still, this is wonderful reminder to continue this. I was getting bogged down by the harsh realities that come with divorce. While faithfully walking with God, I asked him to speak again. This was clear guidance from God.
Just continue to be still, dont push my own beliefs, and let God do the changing. In this video, the marriage won, it appears mine has failed, but, I trust my life in God’s hands.❤
Amen! Don't loose hope! He will not fail you ❣️ don't give up!
I needed this reminder to just focus on the Lord, His word, and pray! I have been praying about this every day!!!! I spoke to an older lady at church and she told me this also. We are now praying together at every service for salvation for my husband and family and for her family. What a blessing this message was today, thank you!
That's amazing- praise God!
I want to thank you for this video. I've had a relationship with Christ since age 16. I'm now 27. I graduated from a Bible college with a Bible degree. I know what the Word says and I know who Christ is. It's safe to say that I "know" what I'm supposed to be doing as a wife to help bring my husband to Christ. But my emotions and need for control rule over all else. I've recently started in this journey of giving God the controls and simply trusting in Him that He will bring my husband truly to His side. I'm by no means great at this yet - being the wife and mother God's called me to be - I fail almost daily. This requires a new level of focus and submission to Christ than I've ever had before. I'm glad to say that I'm not trying like I used to... instead I'm learning to fully trust Him. Again thank you for this video; it's the encouragement I needed to hear today to keep me fueled for this journey, this gift of marriage God has given us.
Sounds like me, God Bless you.
Amen and amen! 32 years later I'm still believing, still walking it out in front of him like you said.
God was also testing and refining you during your arguments after you had surrendered your husband to the Lord. I’m sure there was a time when you learned to give a soft answer rather than reacting in anger while also setting boundaries and being a good example.
Yes. This is so important. Not to come off condescending or controlling. To be slow to speak and quick to listen!
God is not testing us-He loves us! He is giving our spouses free will, the same reason we still have evil in the world. It really is about our spouses, not us. There is no condemnation in Christ 😊 James 1:13-14 - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed
Yes, I resonate with your message 100%! Thank You for sharing❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Last night, I had a difficult conversation with my husband. I told him that I no longer feel comfortable doing some of the things I used to do with him because they were not Christlike. I explained that I wouldn’t join those events anymore because I want to stay truthful to my convictions about the sins I’ve repented of. He was very unhappy and even called me an “extreme Christian.”
But I won’t stop praying for him. This morning, the first thing I did was listen to your video to focus my spiritual mind on Jesus. All I can do is pray and entrust my husband to Jesus. I love him, and I believe Jesus loves him even more.
We would love a video on your husbands response through this transformation 🙏🏽❤️
Wow this is very encouraging. I married an unbeliever and he is even involved in false religion. I repented however I had to separate because he became physically abusive towards me when I shared the Truth of the Gospel. I've been separated for 1 year and I now realize it's about me, not him. The Lord desires to change me also. I am praying my spouse will repent and come to Christ, so we can be a family and my husband will love me with the love of Christ.
This popped up on my feed at a time when i really needed it. God's timing is perfect and being patient is hard. I feel encouraged to keep on praying for my husband for however long it takes!
Can I say this is the best video ever, God just gave me confirmation to keep on pushing! Many blessings 🕊️💕
This has been my life for a long while now! You are speaking the story of my life. I need to get more disciplined and not let Satan gets his foothold in me to get me to stop
Amen- praying alongside of you! XO
Just randomly found this. Thank you for this. I really need to hear this.
This was much much needed! Thank you for letting the Lord use you to spread this message
This is very encouraging!!!!!
FATHER is telling don’t desire to be with my family. Meaning just keep praying and serving where I can. I keep wanting to to to talk but they my husband and children cannot hear me. I have to give to the FATHER!!!!
I LOVE my family so much !!!!!!!
I miss them . My prayer is they all be gathered from the heathen!!!
😥
I've watched many videos on this topic but I really feel the Holy Spirit convicting me through your testimony. Thank you for being so honest and open about your experiences. This has been a TRUE encouragement and wake up call for my personal walk to lead in all of this and be a witness. Thank you and God bless you and your family ❤️
ALL glory to God! So glad it can be used to encourage you today! XO BIG hugs, friend!
I hope you see this as this video was posted 5 months ago, but God knew i needed to see it now. Our marriage is just coming out of a major crisis and will take a long time to heal. This video popped up as a suggestion on TH-cam today. Not a coincidence. I only saw this channel a week ago and immediately felt drawn to subscribe. Not a coincidence. It is soooo refreshing to hear someone be transparent and speak unapologetically the truth of situations, difficulties, give godly advice,... Thank you and know that you've been used by the Most High God.
This has truly been encouraging. I’m leaning into spending intentional time with God and my 2.5 year old daughter does it with me. My husband has been doing Bible studies more consistently but I can see and feel the enemy pushing and tempting him back to old habits and ideas. It’s so discouraging and it’s hard not to throw up my hands or weep that anything will ever change. I trust in Gods timing and could use prayers to have a patient heart while He works on my husband.
A part 2 to this could be about leaving a gap and submitting BEFORE he’s in line or if he IS in line but you’ve been doing his job in various areas. I heard you talk about that briefly in the biblical womanhood series and the “gap” concept really impacted my marriage. ♥️
Yes- we definitely will! XO
You have NO idea how timely this video is today. My husband and I had a fight over this exact thing this morning.
Praying, friend! 🙏🏼📖
Keep praying for your husband. God is faithful!
Don't stop praying . If God got me a hooligan man to surrender He can do anything. ❤
I am currently going thru a similar situation with an unbelieving husband. Tried it all nagging, complaining, manipulating to no effect. i began ny walk with Lord our relationship went downhill. He is a non believer and ever since i began my walk with Lord, it has become very difficult. I gave surrendered to the Lord as I understand only Jesus can soften a hardened heart. i have immeresed myself in hearing the wird, reading the Bible and trying my best to be a light and reflect Christ like character. God is faithful and nothing is too hard for him. Trusting him to draw my husband out of the darkness into His light...thanks for sharing..greatly encouraged..God Bless
I needed to hear this! Great reminder to surrender my husband to the Lord, stand up lovingly for what is right in God's eyes and continuing to seek the Lord. By the Spirit, my husband wil come to Christ!
Everything you shared is true! It took my husband 25 years to come the point of professing to be a Christian! But guess what? After another 25 years he is not showing fruit or growing! But I came to the point of not listening with “his” ears and telling God “oh, Lord! He so needs to hear this! Now I listen with my own ears! I focus on my spiritual growth! Being intimate with my Lord and my obedience is what Jesus wants from me right now and my efforts to live a Christlike life may impact my husband someday. Thank you for your teaching, Heidi! I too, had to learn by myself but God is faithful and I am still hopeful!
Wow this is what I do ... Listening with" his" ears, always searching for something to lead him to Christ. Thank you for the conviction, that I need to stop doing that and listen with my own ears and focus on my own relationship with Christ.
Please pray for my husband Craig. For his salvation and full deliverance. He is under demonic influences
Great encouraging video. Thank you for sharing your story.
All glory to God- hope it can be an encouragement to others!
I needed this video. Thank you so much. I am just starting to read the Bible and taking our child to church. It is so awkward to be there without….and with my mother in law 😂 I needed to be reminded to focus on myself.
BIG hugs, hon! Lifting you up in prayer! XO
Okay I just had I don’t know what you caught like an Epiphany moment not even joking. I have been leaning more towards the Bible and God and etc. trying to learn how to pray the whole 9 yards because I always consider myself a Christian but you know like a warm water Christian, like nothing serious at all never took it serious. Last night I didn’t fall this girl on TikTok and she’s just recently had this awakening. I guess you could say to Christ and at first I thought it was kind of silly. Then I started watching her stuff and it was like I was meant to be watching it, weirdest feeling in the world. Last night video popped up from her TikTok talking about Peter 3 verse 1-2. So I listen to the video because my husbands not necessarily making the smartest choices or acting in the best way. Kind of how you were describing your husband so I seen her TikTok and it kind of sparked the interest so I’m now in here actually Bible journaling right now in first Peter, listening to your video in the background and then you just said the same Bible verse that she said last night. That was like a hit in the face moment, because what is the coincidence that I would run into both of you women referencing the same verse in less than 12 hours. God is speaking to me and I’ve been praying about it a lot lately. I have goosebumps right now.. all I can say is wow I am totally mind blown. 17:27
I love this for you! I can identify with so much of what you said! He is working and moving in our lives and those of our spouses and partners in life. I’m so glad he showed himself so clearly. A God wink if you will. He loves you and has encouraged you! You go girl!
Thank you so much for this. God put this right in my face when I need it the most. God Bless You
Thank you for this message, it was exactly what I needed. Please pray for my husband Joel and for my surrender to allow God to be make me new.
Excellent message! TY! ❤❤❤
This is one of the best encouraging videos I've come across because I was locked in as soon as I realized my story is almost identical, yet Im still trying to hang in there til the breakthrough with my husband. Thank you for sharing because I scroll past videos of couples that didn't experience these hardships.
What a woman!!! Men that have wives like her have no idea how blessed they are.
As a single mom with adhd, I get upset with myself when I don’t keep up. I make things harder for myself honestly when I don’t. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed. Thank you for making videos like this. None of us can keep it together every minute of the day. I pray that God helps us all get through this life and gives us the strength to have discipline and grace.
Thank you for this encouragement. Truly. I thought I was alone in this because, you’re right, it’s not something women want to talk about. Thank you for sharing your story. I know what I need to do now.
*You know* how much videos like this encourages me. Thank you for your testimony, Heidi. 🙏💕💕💕
Praying always my beautiful friend! BIG hugs! XOXO
It's awesome to hear your backstory! So many of us can relate to your story. Thank you for pointing us and our husbands to Christ. Your channel is the most calm and encouraging channel for real life advice that I've found. Thank you!!! 💗🙏💗
ALL glory to God, thank you for your kind words & encouragement! XO
Thank you very much Heidi this is very encouraging!
I am in that situation actually now for 10 years now, but one I know for sure I pray.
Thank you for such a down to earth chat. When you finally disclosed what changes you made in your own life and surrendered your husband to God I knew why I was listening to your video out of any that I could have clicked on. I’ve had the worst day feeling overwhelmed and have cried and prayed but to be honest have felt so abandoned. My husband and I have been together 4 years. I was widowed 7 years ago and his marriage ended a similar amount of time ago. Both with scars from the past we took quite a while to get married and have now been married about 6 weeks. He’s a wonderful, gentle, patient …. atheist. You video was confirmation to what God’s been trying to gently say to me for a while now “spend good quality time with me”. Thank you again.
what about when he tells me to not go to church and “be normal keep your faith for yourself”
But at the other side he drives me to church when I need that. Also we stop having sex until marriage,we are 8 years together and engaged
My dear sister, please, PLEASE heed my advice. If this man is an unbeliever and you are not yet married, DON’T MARRY HIM. If you choose to disregard God’s command to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, as I foolishly did, you will suffer the consequences. Yes, there are some women whose husbands eventually come to faith. There are also many whose husbands do not. Regardless, if you disobey God in this area you are signing yourself up for a long, hard road and much suffering. I’m 22 years in and it has been so hard. Don’t do it! God’s commands are for your benefit. Be wise and obey, however hard that may be.
This truly blessed me. Thank you. Please pray for me.
Wow this is my first time here hearing from you.. I stumbled across your video by accident honestly or maybe it was God‘s will for me to be here.. my husband and I have been married for at least two years now and our marriage is very rocky a lot of arguments over our spiritual life…he is a man who was born and raised in church, but does not live the lifestyle and now after seeing this video I can humbly say that I haven’t been living the best lifestyle myself.. we’ve gotten to a point where we’ve both thought about divorcing because I’m trying to grow more spiritually and he’s not interested whatsoever .. there are things about me that is shifting and changing and he doesn’t like that. I spend more time in the word and declining old activities please keep us in prayer because I want to fight for our marriage, but most importantly I want to win my unbeliever husband back to Christ.. thank you for opening my eyes on how to do this by letting go and fixing myself to live a righteous lifestyle..
