i would like to request pray for my husband. he is not a belivnor er and we are like two strangers in the house. he is not talking to me nor is he eating the meals that i prepare.
Dear Psf1. I was so sad to read of this situation in your home & have prayed/will continue to pray for this matter & specifically for the Lord's blessed work in your husband's heart & life. I can hardly imagine the toll this must take on you, when you are trying your best to show him love & care & in return shows disregard. The fact that he is not a Christian would be a major factor in his behavior, although one cannot rule out other things that are on his heart & mind (whether concerning work, finances, friendships, health, etc.). Would he even consider sitting down with you to share his heart & concerns, or even have a meeting with a counselor (a Christian one preferably), so a third party can listen & advise you both impartially? Has his behavior changed suddenly or over a period of time? These are all questions you must have labored over.
In any case, clearly you still have much love & devotion towards him in spite of his attitude, & you should continue to do so, even expressing it to him verbally so that he knows how you feel & what you are going through (mentally & emotionally) in all this. Your continued loving presence in his life is so important, even as the Scripture reminds us that, 'if the unbelieving husband is pleased to continue in the marriage & live with his wife, the husband is sanctified by the wife'. ( 1 Corinthians 7:13,14). And this means that your loving godly presence & influence in the home is the best testimony your husband could receive of God's Love, God's Work in your life, and what God can do in him to help & heal him. May the Spirit of God work wonderfully & mightily in both of you, that together you both may enjoy God's Perfect Will in your lives & a truly loving marriage. The Lord very specially be with you in this matter.
I second Brother Chris reply to you.
Your continued loving presence in his life is very important.
Patience and longsuffering is the key.
Keep praying for him and let your visual relationship with God be a testimony to him when all else fails.
God bless you.
