Bambi; patience and time and prayer. Prayer, lots of it. That is a persons greatest witness.I don't know all the circumstances, but each person has a different level of intolerance and ability to change. The ability to accept on Faith the Salvation of Jesus Christ. But perservere! stay the course, and wonderful things will happen.
God Bless

Bless you Bambi...I'll be praying for you. My special prayer concern is husbands who are not saved or not walking with the Lord and restoration!

hmmm i have read that verse also...but the thing is someone drinks and when they drink they get this attitude and think they know everything and can do everything and they put down the other person and cuss them and say all types of things about the others beliefs
two weeks before christmas the person got saved and bought another bible and said that they were gonna start going to church and stop the drinking...two weeks later they are in the same boat they were in before....
i don't know thanks for your opinon, i'm glad everything worked out alright for you ![[thumbsup]](graemlins/thumbsup2.gif)

Malachi 2:16 For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife] with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit [that it may be controlled by My Spirit], that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly [with your marriage mate].
God says He hates divorce. Also in 1 Corinthians 7:12 To the rest I declare--I, not the Lord [for Jesus did not discuss this]--that if any brother has a wife who does not believe [in Christ] and she consents to live with him, he should not leave or divorce her. 13And if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she should not leave or divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband is set apart (separated, withdrawn from heathen contamination, and affiliated with the Christian people) by union with his consecrated (set-apart) wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart and separated through union with her consecrated husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean (unblessed heathen, [1] outside the Christian covenant), but as it is they are [2] prepared for God [pure and clean].
That is what happened in my marriage -- I stayed with my husband and now he is a believer, goes to church and it is great! Who knows what would have happened to him if I hadn't stayed with him.
It's a tough question however. There are many things involved such as is there abuse involved? Sometimes it is okay to separate for a season...with the intention to return.
