It's been several months since I've posted here, MB helped us break some bad habits and there hasn't been as much need to spend time on the site. Thank God for that!<P>My SO has recently become my fiance and we will be married next June. We are taking a class together at church and I pray the Spirit will use this opportunity to soften his heart that he may accept Christ as Lord and Savior.<P>If you would add your prayers to mine, you'd have my heartfelt thanks!

I'm really happy to hear that you will be getting married. I will keep you in my prayers. Remember that your husband might NOT convert (mine has not). How will this make you feel when you raise children? Will this affect how you live your life (not allowed to tithe, won't want to participate in church activities, can't share the joy of the Lord with him,...) I am in this boat and it is terribly hard. I was so sure he would convert in a few years. But God respects our will and my H doesn't WANT to believe. <BR>I don't mean to take away your joy - I only want you to think and pray about it because a Christian marriage is another thing.

I do appreciate hearing from someone a little further down the road... is that what you're "tryingtohope" about?<P>He really seems interested in learning more about Christianity. He was raised in a non-religious home, not anti-religious, it was just never an issue at all. It was in the middle of our six-year courtship that I accepted Jesus, and he accepts and respects it, though probably doesn't understand it. We have discussed children, and he knows I will raise my children Christian, and in the meantime I continue to pray God will grant them a Christian father as well.<P>Thanks for your time and thoughts. I'd be interested in learning how you and your husband handle your religious differences, in case that is my road as well.<P>God bless!
