Religion vs other Methods in Marriage Recovery - 07/22/22 05:58 PM
Hello there Guys;
I am back posting after some time off from the Forum;
So, we are living in Canada where we originally moved from India and our family is following Hindu Religion. There are certain days my wife is fasting and doing daily prayers for good luck and prosperity.
The issue I have is certain situation where prayers does not produce the fruits as expected, and the role of shame from society and having to live up to to certain image to be accepted by the community like having a child.
The highlight point is we could not conceive Baby because of my low sperm count, hence she used the approach of getting into affair with one of our close friend who was married to conceive the baby in secrecy.
Now, when we were travelling to our home country India two months ago, we were brought to the person who gets possessed by the Goddess Durga and gives advice on life matters. My wife took to heart this person's advice while she wants nothing to do with MB program.
The biggest issue I am having hard time is our family using religion as a tool to solve marriage problem; her parents are dedicated to religion and their method to attain happiness is by Prayer and fasting to gods to solve the problem. They constantly refer to gods for their great fortune while discounting or disregarding issues or problems.
How do I make such a group understand the concept of Marriage Builder?
They are bullying me and saying that I am non believer; how do I talk to such a group so much invested in Religion?
