Dear Fred
Dear Fred, My husband is saved but his thoughts and actions do not reflect this. I know he has a relationship with the Lord but he spends all his time being a work-a-holic. He very rarely attends church and does not read the Bible. I have been praying for years for him and there has been trememdous changes in him. Is there anything else I should do besides pray and be an example to him? Can you give me a Christian man's perspective??
Fred's Response
I think associations are extremely important. If he enjoys the company of Christians he will gradually acquire their habits and tastes. Certainly his development must be his own and in a very natural way. You cannot do it for him. If he has had dramatic change that is pleasing then you can feel your prayers are being answered. Avoid any indication that he is your spiritual project. Love and respect him as your husband. A friend of ours took years before he showed spiritual interest but his wife created a loving environment for him and he gradually moved to where he is today - a wholehearted Christian.
