A Closer Walk With God In My Marriage

(Houston, TX)

A Closer Walk With God In My Marriage: My husband and I have been married for almost three months and it is already a roller-coaster ride. Every time I pray my heart and mind ends up focusing on us developing a deeper relationship with God. As for myself, I have a very close, intimate relationship with God but I know I can be closer and more intimate. My husband says he believes in God and he says he want to go to church and get involved with more married Christian couples (only when I bring it up and ask him about it) I have voiced my concern of wanting him to spiritually lead our marriage but it does not seem to be happening. I pray and read devotionals by myself, I have selected and encourage the family to go to church. My prayer is that I continue to grow in the Lord and that my husband develops a spiritual leadership for our family. My desire is to follow him but I want to be lead in the right direction and right now it's hard for me to show the true respect I know I should have for him. I believe in my heart that once he gets his relationship on track with God then some of our other minimal concerns will go away or we will be able to work them out quicker and easier. Once God is put in the head on both our parts I just know things will begin to fall into place.
