I posted earlier on the article site and this is where I should have been, in this discussion. I would like to hear from women who have lived with an unsaved husband for 25-30 plus years. I married an unsaved man and I became a Christian the following year (1978). He never had any problem with me taking the children to church and being involved in the programs. He also realizes the gifts I have (as in music) and has no problem with me using them. My daughter married in a very Christian ceremony 3 yrs. ago after attending a Christian college. Both my in-laws have passed on and their funerals befitted the Christian life they lived. It is hard for me to understand why a person can continue decades with the hardness he has and I would love some comment. We also have a son who is a believer, but does not talk much to his dad about that--they just don't relate on that level. We do have discussions, many of them and he knows the Bible better than many believers. But the years go on and on and I get very discouraged. I lost my brother last year suddenly and it makes me realize that we may not have all the time in the world! I have read all the books and I don't "preach" but he knows where I stand on things. Are there any "older" women out there who can give me some advice?
