I've never visited the 'Standing True' discussion board. I've heard of it though and it came to mind this morning as I was feeling very discouraged about a struggle I am going through. So I guess I am looking for some words of wisdom from those who might be or have experienced a similar struggle.
I was raised in a professing home. I professed when I was 11. Recently I got married to a man who does not profess. I love him very much and I believe that God may be trying to use me to bring him into the fold. But since we've been married we have done nothing but fight and I am dismayed to find that I have some very un-Christ like qualities about myself that make it very difficult to take the meek and lowly road. I know a lot of our fights could be avoided if I would just give a soft answer and apologize even if I don't feel like I'm in the wrong. Instead I rise to the occasion and give as good as I get. I have discovered that I have a very prideful and stubborn heart and I can't seem to get the victory over it.
I know that prayer and faith in God is the answer to everything and yes I have some work to do in those areas as well. I guess I am just looking for a little encouragement on how to not give up on my marriage and how to submit more fully to the will of God that his work can be done in me and through me.

Putting yourself down due to you're not doing enough "work" to change things is not helping is it? That said, pushing salvation down someone's throate that doesn't want to go there will ruin any relationship....so just be content to live your convictions before your spouse and in a matter that does not make him feel he's less then what you bargained for. Go back to the reason(s) you wanted him and you married him for...keep that love in your life. However, if he is abusive physically or mentally, then you've got a decision to make and that means are you going to knuckle down under that or are you going to request that you both go into counseling to help pinpoint the reason for your continuous arguments or make your mind up to leave an abusive spouse. But be sure that he is the abuser, not yourself..... Remember God loves your husband also and when God sees it fit for your husband to get into the spiritual realm then God will move him. Just keep faithful yourself in loving the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and loving your neighbours a yourself....with obeying these 2 commanments then you've begun to conquer all the other commandments....

Remember you are adjusting to each others needs and wants. Being single is a very selfish life I married outside too even though I was told not to. It was the best thing I have ever done I love my child have a fantastic husband who has professed if it is meant to be give it a chance to work as long as you haven't married a jerk. As long as there are more good times than bad go for it.
