What are things we can do as wife (friend, relative, etc.) when we have a husband (friend, relative, etc) who does not know the Lord?

What are things we can do as wives when are husbands once had a growing relationship with the Lord that now seems to be stagnant? (Remember feel free to substitute the wife/husband relationship if you are not married)

Last, what are things wives can do to help our husbands grow deeper in their walk with Christ
? The most important thing we can do for those friends, relatives, or spouses that do not know the Lord, is pray for them constantly. Take them to the Father in prayer, keep them daily bathed in deep prayer. Also, live out what you believe in front of them, be real. Let the Light of the world shine out brightly from you. Let them see clearly that Jesus rules your life, you might be the only Jesus they ever see. If your husband once had a growing relationship with the Lord, but now it seems stagnant, lift him up before the Lord. Ask the Lord to please restore their relationship. Assure your husband that he can feel free to talk to you about anything that is bothering him, suggest he talk to your pastor. Come along beside him, and help him to carry his burden, and always love him. Some things a wife can do to help their husband grow deeper in their walk with Christ, sow seeds with them. Have a prayer time together each day, and a time of daily devotions and Bible study. Get in the Word together, walk the walk together. The journey is much better when taken together.

Very good Denise! You are right on when you say to show them Jesus. That is exactly what the Bible instructs (1 Peter 3:1-6)
God bless you!

As always, a great word from you, and from Him.

I like how you put - that we may be the only Jesus they see. That is a great thing to remember before you have any interaction with anyone.

His grace is sufficient. said...

Good Godly advice, Denise. As the saying goes actions speak louder than words. Our nagging doesn't help but boldly approaching the throne of God with our petitions will bring miracles from on High.
