What I mean is this: In bad relationships, bad things happen and will continue to happen if you let them. Wisdom always does now what brings satisfaction later. When God gave the Israelites an exodus opportunity, they took it. If your relationship is even slightly abusive, consider this your sign to exit the relationship NOW!

You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. I assume you know right and wrong when it comes to sins such as lying, stealing, and killing. Some call it premarital sex; others call it marriage out of wedlock. It feels so right, and you have every excuse in the world to continue. However, what seems right in the heat of the moment is not worth its cost in the end. When you have sex with anyone other than your spouse, things happen, bad things. The Bible states that while sin is pleasurable for a season, the after effects are horrible.
All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually sins against his own body.
God does not lead through doubt. A God who gave His own life to teach us how to give of ours. Our relationship with God binds us together spiritually, but it also enables us to love unconditionally- something we could never do on our own. But as always, the choice is yours to make. The choices we make will determine the kind of life we will live. My prayer, is that God gives you the courage to choose well. And so much more! Let's be email friends!

But God makes clear in His Word that sin begins in the heart Matthew 5: My heart is broken and his too. Am afraid that i have hindered him instead of helping gim to come to Lord. Even though nothing unpure happened between us. What I really need to know is this: Are you still praying for him?
How did he react when you got marry? What did he say about you, about God? Can you be happy knowing that he is not saved…and that if he would have been saved in the past now HE would be your husband?
Please answer me honestly…I need to know.. What happened to my friend? I think otherwise I would have stayed at risk of falling into the same situation again. Am I still praying for him? At the difficult stage you are at it is hard to see it but things will change and life does go on. God has a purpose for you and there is more to your life than this relationship. Can I be happy knowing that he is not saved…and that if he would have been saved in the past now he would be my husband?
What did he say about me and about God?

At the time he said he felt I was too influenced by the church and that I was just following tradition or rules and that they would make me unhappy, he was very angry initially about the whole thing and I think he felt sorry for me. He felt my minister had no right to challenge me about it. Lastly I hope you have a good church to support you, I had a great one at the time and had an active church life so I could be busy and I know I was prayed for and supported through it.
Try to find even one trusted older Christian who can help and encourage you and who you can talk to honestly -I used to meet with an older lady each week for prayer and Bible study.

Dating Non-Christians: Forbidden Fruit's Appeal - Part 1
We are told not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers for a reason — we have nothing in common with them. I fell into the trap of marrying an unbeliever. I really believed that I loved the Lord too. My husband seemed to be such a lovely person but after a year and 4 months of marriage, I can tell you that my life is very sad and empty. I am too ashamed to go to church by myself which is what he tells me I can do.
Since our wedding we have been to church 5 times and two of those times were for funerals. Your flesh will be happy sometimes but you will never have true joy as God intended — you will never be one in Christ. I would like to look at my husband with genuine respect, love and admiration but all I see when I look at him is a man who moved into my house to disturb my peace. Stand fast in your faith and trust God to give you a spouse after His own heart. I am now very depressed and feel that my whole life is a sham. I am so ashamed of what I have done. I was lonely sometimes before I got married but now I am really lonely all the time.
I would encourage you, though, to start attending a Gospel-centered church again though. It will not only give you the spiritual resources you desperately need to preserve and strengthen you through this affliction, but it will also be a much-needed witness to your husband. The most likely way he is going to be saved is through your own Christian witness 1 Cor. I knw ths is an old post but its so relevant to where I am. Nd bcz I hv no1 2tok 2 out of fear of being judged I guess I can only hope for biblical advise and wisdom from ppl in ths community.
I wil try cut my long story short. Primarily bcz I had been hurt in the past by a Christian brother.

So I was single for 2yrs and focused on serving and loving the Lord and it is during that time that I become close frnds wit a godly man in the church. I did think much of it until I heard the Lord speak to me saying this man was to be my husband. I immediately started takn an interest in him but we only started courting a year later with th approval of our pastors and leaders.
